Device Manager is not in the Computer Management

JustinWuB · 25 Jul 2016

It's strange that Device Manager is not in the Computer Management on my Win10. It was there yesterday, but I don't know why it disappeared.

Any method of adding it back? Thanks!

Try right clicking the start flag and select Device Manager. See if that helps you.

Sorry that I didn't mention that device manager is there. I can run it via your way or typing devmgmt.msc.

It's just not in the Computer Management.

Still shows in mine. Win 10 Pro build 10586.494.

Try runnning sfc /scannow from a Elevated Command Prompt, see if that helps.

Please post a screenshot of your computer management. This will tell you how. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1...en-forums.html It should be there.

This has happened before. Check out topgundcp's recommendation here:

I thought the recommendation would work, but it didn't. Strange.

Cannot read Chinese but did you set it to "Not Configured" ?

Sorry about the Chinese:), but yes, they're all 'not yet configured', not 'disabled'.

Sorry that I missed your reply. I have tried sfc /scannow. It told me that it fixed some damaged files.

But device manager didn't come back to the computer management.
