    iPhone shown as Unspecified in Devices and Printers


    Hi Dimitri,

    Not sure if this is a help but my iPhone 6/iOS 9.2.1 shows in 'Devices & Printers' as well as 'This PC' identically to your 2 screenshots.....perhaps that is intentional?

    I guess this jars on you (it does with me*Sad). I would like to see it suitably listed as say 'Portable Devices' or 'Mobile Devices' and displayed with appropriate custom iconsPrinter doesnt work with laptop, only iPhone :)

    If it transpires that this is correct, perhaps the forum Gurus could suggest how we might customise Windows 10 to display them in a more 'visibly appealing' format......

    Any thoughts guys???

    iPhone shown as Unspecified in Devices and Printers


    I have a problem with my iPhone 5s/iOS 9.2.1 in Windows 10 Pro x64 Build 10586.71, as shown in the pictures:

    Although everything works OK, i.e.
    • iTunes v.12.3.2.35 recognizes it, backs it up and syncs it
    • I can see its content from Windows Explorer
    • and in Device Manager has the latest drivers for both Apple iPhone & Apple Mobile Device USB Driver

    the iPhone is shown in “Devices and Printers” under Unspecified Devices.

    Is there any way to fix that?

    Any suggestion is welcomed... except from in-place-upgrade - that goes to my dear friend Shawn Brink, he knows why! Printer doesnt work with laptop, only iPhone :)

    Apple iPhone in Autoplay list

    I am unable to remove the listing in Autoplay for Apple Iphone and I spent numerous hours trying to remove it with no luck at all. I followed the steps using the registry as well, still it is shown on the AutoPlay listing.
    Spoke to one IT helpdesk agent and said the only way to get rid of it is to just reinstall Windows in order to remove that option from the list.

    I even re-inserted my iPhone to my machine and uninstalled the drivers from Device Manager under Portable Devices.

    Obsolete devices in Autoplay list multiple entries for same - Microsoft Community

    Update >> I managed to remove it under Devices and Printers. Looks like it does not work under Device Manager.
