“This device cannot start” Code 10 error in Device Manager after upgrade to Windows 10.

Hello Gurpreet,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We will assist you in resolving the issue.



A Code 10 error is generated in Device Manager in one of the following situations:

• 
  Device Manager cannot start the device.
  
• 
  One of the drivers that the device needs does not start.
  
• 
  Device Manager has insufficient information to recognize the error that is bubbled up by the device driver.
  

Note: In this situation, the Code 10 error can be a very generic message that indicates some kind of unspecified driver or device problem.
