Hey there, error code 10, a hardware error, where a device is unable to start, from the ‘Device Manager,’ occurs due to either corrupted or maybe, outdated drivers. Look for these issues:
1. Try updating the drivers; it may be one of the cause.
2. If updating caused the problem, roll back the drivers to the previous version when it was working correctly.
3. Restart the computer. Sometimes, it works as restarting fixes ambiguous instructions causing problems.
4. Another way is to uninstall the device driver. Then right-click and scan for the hardware changes. It may fix the problem if the driver is corrupted.
Go for the methods listed and let me know if the problem is still there. It must work in most of the cases. Hope it helps!
If the device is working and functioning correctly, the status should display:
“This device is working properly.”
Then when there is a problem with the device, you would see the message:
“This device cannot start.”
Most of the time, the problem here is with the driver. To fix the problem, make sure the driver of the device is installed properly. If the device is already installed, uninstall it from the Device Manager and then reinstall it. Right-click on the device and select “Uninstall.” Restart the computer and install the driver back.
On the other hand, if the device doesn’t have a compatible driver for your operating system then you cannot install it. In this case, purchase a new device that supports your operating system.
