The Device Manager is a Control Panel applet in Microsoft Windows operating systems. It allows users to view and control the hardware attached to the computer. When a piece of hardware is not working, the offending hardware is highlighted for the user to deal with. The list of hardware can be sorted by various criteria.
For each device, users can:
Supply device drivers for the hardware
Enable or disable devices
Tell Windows to ignore malfunctioning devices
View other technical properties
Device Manager was introduced with Windows 95 and later added to Windows 2000. In NT-based versions, it is included as a Microsoft Management Console snap-in.

Alternative 1: Start -> Run -> devmgmt.msc -> OK
Alternative 2: Type "devmgmt.msc" into the Command Prompt
Alternative 3: Device Manager is part of Computer Management, which also includes Event Viewer, Services Manager, Disk Management and many other things. Right-Click My Computer then select Manage to start Computer Management, or invoke compmgmt.msc, or launch it via the shortcut in Control Panel, Administrative Tools.
Alternative 4: Press and hold down the Windows key and press the Pause/Break key.
Alternative 5: Create a batch file(.bat) to run Device Manager. A one line entry of devmgmt.msc
into an ANSI text file with the extension (.bat) suffices. However you can also invoke instance settings, such as displaying non-present devices, by adding an additional first command line set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 for an overall structure like this: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 devmgmt.msc
Alternative 6: Instead of a batch file, simply create a shortcut leading to devmgmt.msc

Hidden Settings
Display of 'non-present' devices The Device Manager can display the driver entries for a device that is not currently connected to a computer but had been successfully installed to run through a port, such as a USB port. This is useful for removing entries of old devices or performing a clean reinstall of a device.
This mode activated each time device manager is added and must be invoked just prior to opening Device Manager using the Command Prompt or Batch file method. Command line is as follows: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1.
