Description
Launch device management with unplugged devices showing!
This is handy for removing [duplicate, duplicate (2), duplicate (3)] peripheral entries from your device stack. People who use programs that map USB device input know why this is handy.
Run batch file and select “Show Hidden Devices” from the Device Mgmt View menu. Inspect and/or remove duplicate and unused device profiles.
WARNING! Do not remove devices that are in use (duh!) as consequences will vary. NOT ALL ghosted devices are unnecessary! Some may be bootloaders or other helper drivers for hardware that runs subsequently. ONLY REMOVE ASSOCIATED DRIVERS IF NECESSARY!
That’s all the warns i got for ya. Good luck!
