    Device Manager keeps refreshing due to ethernet connection. Help.


    Greetings.

    When I started to encounter a problem regarding Dark Souls III I started to troubleshoot and managed to find out that Dark Souls III doesn't like when devices get connected and disconnected from your system. When I took a closer look to the device manager it was refreshing every few time stamps. I even measured the time between the refreshes and it's always exactly every 30 seconds. Luckily Windows is kind enough to open the corresponding Tab in which devices get plugged in and out and I found out that the refresh is caused by my Ethernet Connection. By plugging out my LAN-Cable which is connected to my DLAN Adapter the refreshing stops. So I found the culprit, the Ethernet connection.

    Problem is: I'm very inexperienced regarding finding the real problem behind it and to fix it. I was only able to minimize the window of possible reasons why this is occuring. So can anyone help me to solve this problem? I'm using a 500 Mbps DLAN Adapter from Devolo btw if that helps.

    :)

    Device Manager keeps refreshing - due to network adapters

    Hi Timm,

    Device Manager refresh tends to happen when a new hardware is plugged in or removed, whether its a flash drive, and/or etc. This also happens when a driver is not working properly in which the Device Manager attempts to refresh to restart the said driver.
    Plausible reason is that your Network adapter requires update since all this started right after upgrading to Windows 10. If you haven't done so, you can update it by following the steps below:

    • Go to Device Manager and right click on Network Adapters.
    • On the drop down, click on "Update Driver".
    • Follow the instruction in the Update Driver Software wizard.

    Also as an alternative check if this issue persist on Safe Mode. You can go to this link for the steps on how to boot to safe
    mode. You can also go to your PC manufacturer website for the latest driver update.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

  3. Windows 10/Device Manager keeps refreshing

    My device manager in Windows 10 keeps refreshing every few seconds. I read somewhere that it could most likely be due to a USB connection. However I tried removing all my USB devices and it still kept refreshing.

    Is there a log or something I can view so that I can see what is causing the issue? In it's current state I can not use device manager because it constantly refreshes, this gives me a few second window to check a devices properties.

    What can I do? Please don't say re-install Windows 10, that's not a guaranteed fix.

    Windows 10/Device Manager keeps refreshing

    Hi,

    We try almost everything, I was research in our community and I found this solution by Vinodh.V,:

    This might be caused due to following reasons:

    1. Third party application conflict.

    2. USB port or connected device malfunction.

    3. What is the make and model of the computer?

    4. When did you encounter this problem?

    5. Did you recently make any changes to the computer?

    Device manager will refresh every time a device is added or removed. This may also happen if the USB devices is loose or defective

    Please follow the below suggestions and check if it helps:

    Method 1: Clean boot

    This process will disable all the third party application and enable only Microsoft services.

    This is to check if the issue is caused by any third party applications.

    How to perform clean boot:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, refer to this section "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"

    Method 2: Remove all the USB and external storage devices connected to the computer

    This step is the check if the issue is caused due to any USB or external storage devices.

    In case didn't work, I suggest to rollback the Windows up date to the previous version. below, I attach the link with the procedures:

    Please let me know if this helped and works.

    Best Regards,

    Diego R.
