Device Manager - Standard Windows Tool, Displays All Devices Connected to PC and allows you to manage them. Here the user can see not only the names of the hardware components of its computer, but also find out the status of their connection, the presence of drivers and other parameters. You can get into this application in several options, and then we will tell about them.
Running device manager in windows 10
There are several ways to open this tool. You are invited to choose the most suitable for yourself so that in the future it is possible to enjoy only them or flexibly run the dispatcher, pushing out from the current situation.Method 1: Start menu
The stroke menu "Dozens" allows each user to open the necessary tool differently, depending on the convenience.
Alternative menu "Start"
The alternative menu carried the most important system programs to which the user can access. In our case, it is enough to click on the "Start" right-click and select the Device Manager item.
Classic menu "Start"
Those who are used to the usual "Start" menu, you need to call it with the left mouse button and start typing "Device Manager" without quotes. As soon as the coincidence is found, you should click on it. This option is not very convenient - still an alternative "start" allows you to open the desired component faster and without using the keyboard.
Method 2: "Run" window
Another simple method is to call the application through the "Run" window. However, it can not come up with each user, since the original name of the device manager (then under which it is stored in Windows) can not be remembered.
So, press the keyboard with a combination of Win + R. In the Write field, Devmgmt.msc and click ENTER.
It is under this name - DevmGMT.msc - the dispatcher is stored in the Windows system folder. By remembering it, you can use the following method.
Method 3: OS system folder
On the TOM section of the hard disk where the operating system is installed, there are several folders providing Windows. As a rule, this is partition with: where you can find files responsible for running various standard command line type tools, diagnostic tools and maintenance tools. From here the user can easily call the device manager.
Open the conductor and go along the path C: \ Windows \ System32. Among the files, find "devmgmt.msc" and launch it with the mouse. If you have not included in the system display file extensions, the tool will be called simply "DevmGMT".
Method 4: "Control Panel" / "Parameters"
In Win10, the control panel is no longer an important and main tool for accessing different kinds of settings and utilities. For the forefront, the developers made "parameters", but so far the same device manager is available for opening there and there.
"Control Panel"
- Open the "Control Panel" - the easiest way to do it through the "Start".
- We switch view mode to "Large / Minor Icons" and find "Device Manager".
"Parameters"
- Run "Parameters", for example, through an alternative "start".
- In the search field, start typing "Device Manager" without quotes and clicking LKM on the coinciding result.
We dismantled 4 popular options for how to access device dispatcher. It should be noted that the full list does not end. You can open it with the following actions:
- Through the "properties" of the "This computer" label;
- By running the "Computer Management utility" by printing its name in "Start";
- Through the "command line" or "PowerShell" - it is enough to write the team Devmgmt.msc and press ENTER.
The remaining methods are less relevant and use only in isolated cases.
