Q: Is your device listed next to an unusual icon?
A: Windows Device Manager usually provides information about failures with peripherals. While the Device
Manager can assist with troubleshooting most problems, it may not display the exact cause or provide a
precise solution.
An unusual icon next to the device can reveal a problem. For example, instead of the normal icon based on
the type of device, it has an exclamation point, question mark or an X. Right click this icon and then choose
Properties. The General tab provides a potential reason why the device is not working as expected.
