    troubleshooter hardware and devices

    Open Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Configure a device.

    Or: Type “Troubleshooting” in the Search bar and press Enter.

    Click on “View All” in the top left corner.

    This should display the list of troubleshooters which are built-in in the computer. Click on Hardware and Devices from the list and you can run the troubleshooter.

    Hardware & Devices Troubleshooter

    Hi John

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

    The Hardware and Devices troubleshooter was removed from that list of troubleshooters a couple of years ago in Windows 10, however, it still exists in Windows 10

    Click your Start Button, then just type cmd

    From the resulting list, right click Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'

    Paste this into Command Prompt and press Enter:

    msdt.exe -id DeviceDiagnostic

    That will open the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter in Windows 10 . . .

    Hardware & Devices Troubleshooter

    On both my desktop pc and laptop when accessing Troubleshooter History the title Hardware and Devices troubleshooter are in blue (hyperlink) and 'Could not be run on 03/07/2020 Critical troubleshooter' appear in red. When I click on the link I get takenIssues using OneDrive Files On-Demand on some devices after updating to Windows 10, version 2004 - Microsoft Support This
    is no help as I don't use One Drive. The Hardware and Devices troubleshooter is not listed on the available troubleshooters. Any ideas, please?
