Windows 10: Imaging device driver missing from Device Manager

Hey,


I was having trouble use my webcam error 45 so I went to device manager to see if the drivers needed updating. I tried updating both "Camera" and "Imagining devices" to no avail. Next I tried uninstalling the imaging devices driver with the intention of reinstalling it to see if it works. When I tried reinstalling it through "add legacy hardware" all of the model options give me "unknown device" when I check the new imaging devices tab. I've tried updating drivers afterwards but it does nothing. Let me know if you need information "Cameras" is still functional with updated driver. Please helps, thanks.

:)

device manager drivers/update/fix help

I need help with my drivers as they aren't showing up right in Device manager. I have double or triple entries in some of the categories; I have provided a link or file so that you can see what mine looks like. If anyone could direct me in the right path that would be awesome! I think the reason for my mouse studders/issues and also performance issues in the many games that I play is the reason behind these Drivers. Below is a image that I captured with gyazo that lists my devices.

-BenQ XL2420Z 144hz
-Logitech G403 Prodigy
-Corsair Vengeance K95

-When I fix the drivers that I need will the grayed out devices fix themselves/disappear in Device manager? Also, if/when I get my drivers all squared away and updated.. let's say I have some grayed out devices that are still in those sections.. is it OK to uninstall those or not?

-I also don't have any idea what those Microsoft streaming devices in Sound are!??! Could it be something I need to turn off in BIOS or?

-Lastly, what's the deal with the WAN Miniports?


Thank-you!

 

missing camcorder imaging device "drivers"

It looks like the manufacturer of the device you're trying to install didn't release drivers to Windows 10.

As a workaround, we suggest that you contact your manufacturer and ask for the legacy drivers of the device for Windows 7. Once you have the file of the drivers, right-click on it and choose
Extract. Once done, add it as a legacy driver. To do so, see the steps below:

• Go to Device Manager > Action > Add legacy hardware. Follow the virtual steps to add a hardware.
• Once done, it will show you the common hardware types; then, choose IEEE 1394 host controllers.
• After choosing IEEE 1394 host controllers, it will show you the page to select the manufacturer and model of your hardware.
• To choose for the legacy driver you've extracted, click Have Disk >
  Browse. Now it will show you the window to locate the file.

Let us know what happens after doing the suggestions above.
