Windows Device Manager

Code 1: This device is not configured correctly

Windows reports that the device has no usable driver installed or the driver is configured incorrectly.

  1. 1

    Retest the device after the driver change.

  2. 2

After Windows reports the device normally, run the matching DeviceOK test when one exists—for example camera, microphone, keyboard, mouse, controller or audio—to confirm the user-facing function works.
