The Device Manager is a handy tool for diagnosing problems in Windows. Information about all of your devices is here, including General, Drivers, Details, and Events. You might want to be sure that you can see all devices.

Most people don't need to see hidden devices, but there are times that it can be useful, including seeing devices you might have removed or when diagnosing error codes.
