Find the cause of refresh Device Manager

I am having a problem similar to the one in this post: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/why-does-device-manager-keeps-refreshing-while-i/f370fb04-d287-4c9e-ab6a-5861f8595861.  In short, the Device Manager keeps refreshing the list of material, all a few seconds or so, even when the computer is sitting idle.

In my case the problem is not a recently added material.  The problem comes and goes.  Sometimes, the update is not immediate, and sometimes the computer crashes permanently.  I think one of my pieces of hardware can be failing intermittently, but I don't know which.  I could try trial and error to figure out the problem by disabling the devices one by one at a time.  But it will take a long time, it is unclear because the underlying problem is intermittent, and it may not work if the responsible hardware is vital for the system to function.

So my question is this: is it not somewhat faster/more easier to determine, perhaps glancing at a newspaper somewhere, what piece of hardware is causing him continually refreshes in Device Manager?  Clearly, the OS is aware of these events, as it did the update.  They are somehow?

  • a trick to find the drivers for "unknown devices".

    I see a lot of messages on the forum in which users try to find the drivers for "unknown devices" in the Device Manager.  That's how I usually go on the search for drivers for these users.  I thought that the community, this may be useful.

    I use a site called pilot identifier.  However, I do NOT use the stand-alone application.  I'm NOT suggesting that do you.  I have not used the app, so I can't speak to its usefulness.

    I use the site to determine exactly what is the material element.  To do this, the site doesn't have a search function, I use a updated Google search the.  I will now give the steps with examples.

    First of all, you need the hardware ID for your hardware.  To locate this information, follow these steps.

    1. Click Start, type "Device Manager" and press ENTER.
    2. Look for the device that needs a driver.
    3. Right click on the device and select Properties.
    4. Go to the tab "Details".
    5. Select hardware ID from the drop-down.

    Here is an example of a hardware ID:

    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_10EC & DEV_0662 & SUBSYS_103C3047 & REV_1001.

    I then use this Hardware ID and Google to determine what the hardware item by searching for the use of the site: modifier for Google.  So, my research looks like this

    "site:www.driveridentifier.com .

    HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_10EC & DEV_0662 & SUBSYS_103C3047 & REV_1001.

    When I go to the first result, it will be, in general, identify the material at the top of the page.  Here is the page for my research above.   The page identifies audio material like "realtek high definition", which is correct because it's the hardware for my sound card ID.

    Now, on this page if you scroll down it gives you a list of all OEM drivers for this piece of hardware.  However, you cannot download the drivers from them without having to install their software.  What I do is so, note the name of the driver for HP.  In this case, you will see that she is named "sp59642.exe".

    Because I can not download the driver from the website, or even be directly connected to HP's Support site from there, I still use Google.

    This time, I use a search of "sp59642.exe" in Google, which returns this page as the first result.

    I can't always find the executables that are listed by pilot identifier.  For example, I can't locate sp59660 or sp59662 who are both on the same list.  So it may take a few tries to find a driver, but I had some success using this method.

    I hope the community finds this useful tip.  Have a great week everyone!

  • Question: How to avoid the pop-up "Welcome to the Windows Live (tm) Device Manager download"?

    I also use many Office Communicator 2007 and Live Messenger and Live Photo Gallery. My PC (Win XP SP2) office also has a LX-3000 headset and a webcam VX-6000, both are for use with Office Communicator.
    Since a recent update, whenever I connect a device, a "Welcome to the Windows Live (tm) Device Manager download" window asking me to download Windows Live Device Manager.
    However, on this desktop PC, I don't want that to be installed. Also, since the shape a previous download, I learned that this device manager does not recognize Office Communicator; It assumes that Live Messenger.
    How can I stop this pop up on my desktop PC?

    Hello Wytze_,

    Thank you for your message.  Let's try turning off the pop-up.
    If you have Windows Live Messenger 2009:
    1. click on tools, select Options
    2. click on the connection tab
    3. uncheck the show Windows Live today after I connect to mailbox
    For older versions:
    1. click on tools, select Options
    2. click on the general tab
    3. uncheck the show Windows Live today after I connect to mailbox
    There were a few discussions where people indicated that they downloaded Device Manager but then turned off to avoid the messages.  As seen HERE.
    If none of these suggestions help to solve the problem, you can visit the Windows Live related forum HERE.
    See you soon

  • Satellite P30 - error code 43 on the graphics card in Device Manager

    Windows Vista Professional Edition loaded as my new OS for the studies and course work. Now my display driver no longer works correctly.

    Device Manager displays the following message on the graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon 9600/9700: 'Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) »

    Have search everywhere on the web for solutions but limited knowledge prevents me to get a positive result. There must be someone out there who can help...

    Hi BigPappaDom,

    In my opinion to get rid of this, you need to reinstall the display driver. I have checked the site of Toshiba Satellite P30 is no Vista driver available. This means that you must find yourself to get all the drivers. :(

    I searched a bit and you should try to install the Satellite P200D display driver. She also equipped graphics card ATI and this driver must be compatible with your other oldest:

    Hello.

    I recently formatted my HP Gseries laptop and reinstalled all the drivers. Towards the end of it, I couldn't find my adapter wireless listed in my device manager. I can connect to the internet via a connection fixed but the Wireless does not exist. When I try to install the wireless driver, the Setup program cannot detect the wireless network card.  I tried the following, which none has seemed to work:

    Turned on the wireless devices. Bluetooth works. Wi - Fi nope.

    Checked for possible compatibility problems drivers.

    There was something a little "unrecognized network controller" in the "other devices" category, which I assume is my wireless adapter. Therefore, I have included the hardware below id if this would be of any help. Please help me find the appropriate patches for my problem.

  • Refreshing Device Manager

    After a clean reinstall of windows 7, I get a constant refresh in Device Manager (although there is no indicators) also the noise to connect and disconnect usb port... tried everything I can think of to... totally lost...

    Hello

     
    Please contact Microsoft Community.
     

    I suggest you refer to the suggestion made by Imarn Chand at the following link.

  • The poor Internet behavior Device Manager error "' there is no selected for the item or a set of device driver information."

    Original title: poor Internet behavior.

    I bought a laptop Lenovo X100e used with Windows 7 Professional. It was a great computer, but when I go on the internet, it behaves as if the connection is slow or wobbly, even if the connection is fast. This is especially true of the streaming video, who stutters so much, it is virtually impossible to watch Netflix or YouTube or any other video streaming service. It is also a great computer so I really want to solve this problem, rather than buying another computer.

    I used this laptop on my network domestic WiFi so much and a direct connection with the same behavior. I diagnosed my network speed and its good, usually around 20Mps, again I tried this laptop in public places like Whole Foods, and it has the same: wobbly connection. I have an old Dell Latitude that works and it works great on the same network internet and I used my phone on my wifi at home and it works fine, so it's clearly the Lenovo.

    The network cards are 11 b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II and Realtek GBE Family Controller christophepaille. I checked the drivers for the two (using Device Manager), and they are both currently. I used the function "diagnose problems" and found nothing. I googled for problems with them and have not found much.

    There is also a Qualcom Gobi 2000 listed (it's a WAN wireless driver for Windows 7) under other devices and he says "there is no driver selected for the item or a set of device information. I tried updating the driver, but got an error message saying "Cannot find Windows driver." software for your device I have no idea if this is relevant.

    In addition, the laptop plays the video without any problem if it is a file on the local drive, such as mp4, so I don't think that the video problem is in itself. It is the general communication with a network. Again, I don't think it's a problem of wifi because I get the same behavior, even if I plug a cable network directly to my router.

    Also, I tried several browsers updated, including Chrome, Firefox and IE. In addition, I ran several antivirus scans, and nothing is found.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
