Windows 10: Device Manager not opening Windows10

Hi.

My camera stopped working and I wanted to update the driver in Device Manager and my Device Manager didn’t want to open. I tried the scnnow and it still didn’t work. I booted in safe mode to test and it still didn’t work.

My Windows Hello also stopped working. My fingerprint and pin options are greyed out?

Please help.

Thanks.

Hi Shuta,

To address this concern, we suggest that you follow these steps on how to remove and reinstall all USB controllers in Device Manager:

• Open Device Manager by pressing Windows key+X and select
  device manager from the list.
  
• In the list of hardware categories, find and expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
• Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click
  Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
• Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.

Update us on the result.

Thank you.

Hi Luke,

We suggest that you update the device driver. You can do that by following these steps:

• 
  Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and select
  it from the list of results.
  
• 
  Expand the category where your device is located, then right-click on the name of your device, and select Update Driver Software.
  
• 
  Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
  

If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

If updating the device driver doesn't work, we suggest that you reinstall the driver:

• 
  Open Device Manager.
  
• 
  Right-click on the name of the device.
  
• 
  Select Uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
  

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
