« on: May 14, 2016, 07:31:21 AM »

Since moving over to Win 10 an unknown device has appeared in Device Manager, I am at a loss ib sussing out what it could be.

I think if you dig around in the unknown device properties you'll find some hardware ID's and you can Google these.

Before doing this though I would download the lastest drivers  for your hardware and install them, especially for the motherboard, use the manufacturers website not Windows update.

I remember when I updated to Win10 on both my PC's, it had an issue with the printer drivers. They will still work with the basic printer driver, well for most features. But even after installing the correct printer driver it didnt work until I found I needed to delete the unknown device in the printer section.

An easy way to see if its the printer is to go to windows update and see if its failing to download a printer driver.

Have a look in the device manager and see if there is anything marked (!) . let us know what sub menu it is in.

I don't have a device that's not recognised so can't confirm this, but I'm sure you can go into the unknown devices properties from within device manager and on the details tab theres a property dropdown box, select the Hardware ID and then right click and copy it and then Google that. It might give you an idea of what it is.

All i see is:

*c2scsi

A thought, if it might be something left behind from my external drive, when say I did a backup?

c2scsi64 is apparently some component installed by Roxio CD burning software, but I don't think there's any problem with that.

Ah! There used to be back in Win 7 some Roxio s/ware burner that came as part of the Dell Package that came with the computer. The icon used to show in the bottom corner of he screen.

I'll disable it and see how it goes.
