Windows Device Manager is Blank

How to troubleshoot a blank Windows Device Manager?

Why does this happen? It happens if the Plug and Play Service is not enabled.


The Fix for this issue is very simple:


Go to the Start button - Open the Run Dialogue Box - Type in services.msc in it - right-click or double-click on Plug and Play - Select Start - and then Click Apply / OK.

Remember, the Startup Type for this Service must be Automatic.

Close the Services.msc window and restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
