Device manager is a tool that can be used to manage the device on the computer. You can use "Device Manager" to view and change device properties, update device drivers, configure device settings, and uninstall devices. The device manager provides a graphical view of the hardware installed on the computer. All devices communicate with Windows through "device driver". If we find an unknown device or an exclamation mark in the device manager, how can we solve it?
