You may find yourself in a situation where you have added and removed a piece of hardware from a computer, which then causes you ongoing problems. Unfortunately by default Device Manager often doesn't show these "removed" pieces of hardware, while the solution is very simple it is somewhat hidden from view.
1. Open up a command prompt as Administrator
2. Into the command prompt type,
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
3. Then to launch the Device Manager type,
start devmgmt.msc
4. Once Device Manager is open, select the "View" menu and tick "Show Hidden Devices"
5. It is as simple as that, your hidden devices should now appear, giving you a chance to remove them and the drivers that may be causing you issues.
