cannot start" and it displayed Code 10 error in Device Manager of his Windows 10 PC. It was a

decode what it says, when i decoded i founded out, that it said "My device cannot start" , which

clearly shows my device couldn't start ? I questioned myself So what is essential for a device to start

?? i got an answer from my mind " Hey fool ! you need drivers for your device to function its

operation " So, i installed a driver for his PC which automatically solved the problem.. So if you too

are experiencing the error like me, then i hope this guide is helpful for you too...

Here is how i rectified the issue....

"This device cannot start" Code 10 error in Device Manager in Windows 10" - Fix

"This device cannot start" Code 10 error in Device Manager in Windows 10 [SOLVED]



2) Running, Windows update solved most of my problem, but it didn't solved it fully as i got the

error for his another device...

3) I reran Windows update, but it went to no avail, so i downloaded the latest driver for that device

that is compatible for windows 10 on the manufacturer site, which solved my problem..

So, if you are facing such an error, then first try restarting your PC, or select scan hardware changes option on device manager that itself fix issues most the time, if 

it didn't run the Windows update, if it failed then check the device manufacturer site or vendor site, 

download and install the latest driver..

Every manufacturer has their own installation instructions so i hadn't written the details in this post,simply check their site, follow the onscreen instructions for manually fixing the error.
