    Update Driver Software does nothing


    I'm attempting to install a driver using Device Manager. When I right click then click Update Driver Software, it does nothing. Same for when I click Properties and click the update there.

    I've tried clicking Uninstall on the device, it give the warning for uninstalling, but does nothing, the device is still shown. Same for Disable.

    I am logged in with Administrator rights.

    :)

    Software Updater does not detect 5800

    Hi!



    Yes, I understand that writing here does not make much sense as it's unlikely I'll get help from the nokia guys here. But, just to calm down myself, here are the great things about nokia software:



    Updater does not detects 5800. I've reinstalled everything as it's stated (as, according to FAQ, sometimes the drivers may get corrupt). Restarted the PC. Nothing happened.



    One more great thing about PC Suite. If you press Update Software icon and you don't have the Software Updater installed, then nothing will happen. Just nothing. Why should it tell you that you need the Software Updater to finish this operation?



    Regards.

    Playing audio CD's on Windows 10

    Tried everything to no avail.

    VLC, registry editing, CD driver updating, just nothing works.

    The computer recognizes that there is an audio cd in the drive, just does not play it. no matter what software I tried.

    There's an installer. It went through all the motions without popping up any error, but apparently didn't actually install. I extracted the file and right clicked and clicked install on the .inf. Same result. Said it installed but nothing.

    It's the "global" x64 driver for Leadtek video capture/TV tuner cards. Newest OS it claims to support is Win 7. I don't care about the NTSC tuner, just want the bt878 capture working. This particular card ignores copy protection, which is a good thing because many home recorded VHS tapes tend to be mis-detected as having it.

    Can I re-enable signing after installing the drivers, if they will install? It's a Leadtek WinFast TV2000XP. Bt878 based.

    Edit: Not UEFI on this motherboard.

    Update Driver Software does nothing

    The major issue here is Device Manager is not allowing me to *try* to do a manual driver selection on *any* device. When I click the button to update I should get the process to chose a driver that's installed, or one from a folder elsewhere.

    It used to work, IIRC before the 1607 update. I noticed that the process is essentially exactly the same as it has been in every version since Windows 95. Makes the user wade through a bunch of useless stuff to get to where one can *finally* aim it at a folder somewhere - and the default location is still, after all these years, Floppy Drive A:. The end of that is where it should start, because if the user is having to resort to manually installing a driver, it's most likely *not included with Windows*.

    I enabled the hidden Administrator account then logged in with it. That account has full access to do things in Device Manager.

    Has Microsoft decided to *help* by stripping some access from other Administrator level accounts?
