Shows device in devices and printers, which is not connected to the pc

I was looking at devices and printers, and notice that something called 'My Zen' presents itself as well as all other devices attached to my office.  However the zen element refers to an old mp3 player that I have not used in a few years.   Is it all just because the driver remains on the system?  I thought that only the truly connected elements would be showing upwards.

This is for any installed device.  Right click and choose "Remove device" to uninstall.

  • Printer appears online in devices and printers, but in offline mode in the print dialog box

    After I plugged an inkjet printer from Canon iP4000 in my computer running Windows 7 SP 1 Ultimate 64 - bit edition, the printer is displayed correctly in devices and printers as a printer online but appears offline in print dialog common used by applications.

    Sometimes, I am able to print despite the problem, but as a general rule, the monitoring software will say that the printer does not Canon.

    In addition, a WiFi adapter sometimes loses the WiFi connection and is unable to find all the networks.

    Tried many things:

    • Uninstall of the printer
    • Manually clearing print jobs
    • Reset
    • Unplug the printer from a USB hub and connect directly to a USB port on the monitor

    I can not easily plug the printer to the computer directly because of the locations of the case of the printer and the computer. I tried to connect the printer directly to my ThinkPad and the printer does work very well in this situation.

    This who can I try to do at this point?

  • Pavilion HPE 150 t: I have a desktop Pavilion which does not connect to the internet all of a sudden

    Had two problems.  My AVG was locking up my computer with the function of guard dog.  I was able to get past and get uninstalled AVG.  Now, I can't the computer to connect to the internet.  I've updated the ethernet driver, but it still doesn't work.  Said that there is a problem with the driver.  I used a wireless adapter and it shows as connected but also says there is a problem with the driver.  I disabled all the security settings, that I can find.  Firewall AVG, Windows Defender, real key.  I did the sfc scan now and it found nothing.  He won't let me not reset the pc to restore the pc or anything like that.  I tried to update the BIOS, I think I already have, and he said that it is "denied" see administrator.  When I tried to reset the nsch he says he has been "denied".  I don't know what is blocking the connection.  Internet works anywhere in my house with the exception of this one computer.   Suggestions?

    So, I thought about it.  None of the support stuff helped but thanks for trying.  I'm always up for the Microsoft Security error at startup.  I noticed that I don't have McAfee installed when windows Defender popped up it asked McAfee, I used to have, and I saw where the real key is a McAfee product.  But I always felt that something is blocking the connection.  I ran AVG removal tool again, and once more he showed the AVG protection there.  I completed the deletion. still nothing.  I went to the properties of the ethernet and there I saw a place for the files AVG filter.  I unchecked it and BAM my internet connection was back up.  If not, was not windows.  This file kept loading with the drivers and I seen this every time but never uninstalled.  Once I killed him felt stupid, frustrated and angry.  I was very disappointed with AVG lately.

    Thank you for support for trying to help me, I learned a lot during this mess.

  • How to rename a new printer? I tried to access this feature in looking "devices and printers", but this process just turns around and shows me no devices or printers.

    The "Devices and printers" window does not work for me. It does not list devices that I currently have on my network. Although I can print from my printer, I want to rename it to distinguish it from another similar printer. How can I do this if the "Devices and printers" window does not work?

    Hello

    ·          What kind of network you are connected to?

    To rename a printer, you must have permission to manage the printer. You probably have permission if you installed the printer. If you are on a corporate network, you may need to ask your system administrator.

  • Windows folder instead of the Officejet 6500 icon icon has more E710n in devices and printers

    Can someone help me get the OfficeJet 6500 has more e710n printer to display correctly in devices and Printers icon?

    I have recently reinstalled Windows 8.1.  However, when I installed my printer, the printer icon in devices and printers, I get a generic Windows yellow folder icon.  The Fax icon is OK, just the printer icon is wrong.

    If I double click the icon, I get a blank page with a message near the top of the page saying: 'information updates are available on your device.  Click here to download or learn more. "If I click on the notice, a drop down menu appears with 'Download update of information' or 'Learn' more.  If I choose Update downloaded information, a new printer window appears which is often empty except for a message in the center of the window that says "no task is available on this page" to learn the most fair option gives me info on the update of drivers.

    The icon of the printer in the start menu is fine.

    I used HP Print and Scan Doctor uninstall and reinstall my printer, but it did not help.  The program finds a problem with the printer driver and the fixed, but that has not changed the icon either.

    I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit fully up to date and used the full version of the HP Installer for the printer (not the basic version) and HP Print and Scan v4.6 doctor.

  • Start the virtual machine and wait for WF, does not connect to the computer virtual for Vds (Windows 2008 R2)

    Hello

    See a strange problem with only a Windows 2008 R2 model. When you use the built-in function "Start VM and wait" workflow to start a virtual machine (after conversion from a template either manually, or through workflow) NIC of the virtual machine (I tried VMXNET3 and e1000 times) does not connect to the problem. Vds can be replicated in a different VCenter, so spreading the vds. I also created several models of Windows 2008 r2 and all have this problem.

    If the model is converted and started outside VRO, it gets an IP from and is connected to the VDS immediately

    Tried add/remove the NIC of the model

    Tried to move the comments on different hosts

    Tried to create a new template from scratch

    NOTE: Windows 2012 R2 doesn't have this problem in the same circles, the only constant is the Windows 2008 R2 being started by VRO.

    Anyone seen this before?

    I found this article and it fixed my problem VMware KB: registration or the deployment of a virtual computer model fails apparently a fix a problem in ESX 5.1, 5.5 (I used the option to get around and things are good)
