Windows 10: New entries in Device Manager

I have never seen these entries before. Previous installation didn't have them. Only thing I can think of is my NAS box although that's in the other room.

device manager portable devices has |:\ as an entry

Hi,

Make a Restore Point - then Right Click on that device in Device Manager and Uninstall - then reboot.

If needed then re-install the "possible" device driver for whatever appears there after the reboot.

We can analyze the minidumps if you make them available from the

OneDrive or other file sharing sites (such as MediaFire). If you have

problems uploading the minidumps copy them to the Desktop or the

Documents folder and upload them from there.

Troubleshoot blue screen errors

BCCode: 1E 0x0000001E

Remove ALL power and reseat all the cards, memory, and cables (both ends when

possible) - actually remove and replace - do not just snug. Those are for a PC and about all that can be done for a laptop is reseat the memory and clear the vents. Make sure the BIOS, low level chipset drivers, and major device drivers are all up
to date by checking manually at the makers' sites.

BCCode: 1E 0x0000001E

BCCode: 1E 0x0000001E <-- read this link

Check to be sure you have adequate disk space.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded :

Run DriverView - set VIEW to Hide Microsoft drivers - update those without

Dump in their names (and update BIOS and chipset).

DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded

on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is

displayed: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,

company that created the driver, and more.

DriverView: Loaded Windows Drivers List



For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker's which are the

most current. Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down

the make and complete model of your video adapter - double click - Driver's

tab - write down the version info. Now click UPdate Driver (this may not do

anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) - then Right Click - Uninstall -

REBOOT this will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat that for Network - Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard

if 3rd party with their own software and drivers and any other major device drivers

you have.

Now go to System Maker's site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and

then Device Maker's site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their

latest versions. (Look for BIOS, Chipset, and software updates at System Maker's

site while there.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - Right Click - RUN AD ADMIN -

REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in Device Manager - Drivers tab to be sure the version you are

installing actually shows up. This is because some drivers rollback before the

latest is installed (sound drivers particularly do this) so install a driver - reboot

- check to be sure it is installed and repeat as needed.

Repeat at Device Makers - BTW at Device Makers DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER -

heck manually by model.

Manually look at manufacturer's sites for drivers - and Device Maker's sites.

How to Find and Download Drivers

====================================================

Memory tests do not catch all errors such as mismatched memory (possible even

for sticks that appear to be identical) and when faster memory is placed in system

behind slower memory. So it is best to also swap sticks in and out to check for

those even if all memory tests fail to show a problem.

To test RAM check here - let it run 4+ hours or so. <-- best method

www.memtest.org

MemTestX86 - Test RAM With

MemTest86+ - Test RAM

For the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool.

Type in Cortana's search box -> Windows Memory Diagnostics

at top of list - click it. in Windows 8/8.1/10 the name is "Windows Memory

Diagnostic".



================================================

After doing ALL the updates you can, and if the issue continues, then run

DriverVerifier.

Driver Verifier can help find some BSOD issues :

are essentially the same).

Driver Verifier Manager & Device Manager in Windows

Using Driver Verifier

Driver Verifier

WINKEY + X - RUN - type in -> verifier /reset hit enter to disable

Use BlueScreenView to see if there is a driver specified in the error message.

Also check with MyEventViewer at the time of the BlueScreen.

If DriverVerifier creates a minidump upload it and post the link here so we can

analyze it.

Hope this helps.

Hi Gregory,

Just to verify, does a blue screen error occur when this error message appear? We'll need more information and further assessment before we can conclude what this error message tells us.

We'll keep an eye out to your response.

 

Yep, I have all of them on my laptop (all the WAN ones are hidden). Must have something to do with my wireless adapter(s). None on my desktop.

 

I'm on a desktop though.

 

I saw that but do you have any type of wireless connectivity (such as a usb wireless adapter, etc)?

 

No, I'm connected via a gigabit powerline adaptor.
