Scanners and Cameras
Most digital cameras, scanners, and other imaging devices are Plug and Play devices, and Windows 10 installs them automatically when you connect them to your computer. If your imaging device is not installed automatically when you connect it, or if it does not support Plug and Play, use the Devices and printer Installation Wizard.How to Open Devices And Printers in Windows 10
To open this wizard,
I suggest you check if it is listed in Device and printer in control panel. Connect your device and follow the below steps:
1. Right click on Start button and select Control Panel.
2. Select Device and Printers.
3. Check if your device is listed there.
You use the Device and Printers tool in Control Panel to manage imaging devices. Configiration options vary depending on the device that is connected, but at a minimum you can test the device to verify that it is functioning, set the rate at which data is transferred from the camera or scanner to the computer, and control color profiles. It is important to not set the data transfer rate higher than what the device supports. If the transfer rate is set too high, image transfer might fail.
Mouse Devices
Mouse devices are generally Plug and Play, and Windows generally recognizes mow: deViCes when they are connected to the computer or, at the least, when Windows sums up. In some cases, though, you must install a mouse using the Add Hardware Wizard. Mouse devices connect to computers through a mouse (PS/Z) port, serial P011. or U238 port. Wireless mouse devices are also available, although they usually communicate with a receiver that connects to the computer using a USB port.
How to Open Mouse Properties in Windows 10
Windows Key and Press R on your keyboard. On the Run command box open, type main.cpl and press Enter.
The Buttons tab allows you to configure your mouse for a left-handed or right-handed user. It also allows you to set a single mouse click as select or open and to control the double-click speed.
The Pointers tab allows you to select or create a custom scheme for your pointer. The Pointer Options tab allows you to adjust the speed and acceleration of your pointer and to set the Snap To Default option, which moves the pointer automatically to the default button in dialog boxes.
Keyboards
Like mouse devices, keyboards are generally Plug and Play devices. Keyboards are usually connected to the computer through a (PS/Z) keyboard port or a USB port.
Wireless keyboards are also available, although (like wireless mouse devices) they typically communicate with a receiver that connects to the computer using a USB port

USB Devices
Universal serial bus (USB) is a type of connection developed to provide a fast, flexible method of attaching up to 127 peripheral devices to a computer. USB provides a connection format designed to replace the computer’s traditional serial-port and parallel port connections. The term “universal” indicates that many kinds of devices can take advantage of USB. USB is fully Plug and Play-Compliant.
The USB system comprises a single USB host and USB devices. The host is at the t0p of the USB hierarchy. In a Windows 10 environment, the operating system and the hardware work together to form the USB host. Devices include hubs, which are connection points for other USB devices and nodes. Nodes are end devices such as printers, scanners, mouse devices, keyboards, and so on. Some nodes also function as hubs, allowing additional USB devices to be connected to them.
You can connect USB peripherals together by using connection hubs that allow the bus to branch out through additional port connections. In this example, some of the peripheral devices are simply devices, whereas others serve as both devices and connection hubs. The computer provides a USB host connection that serves as the main USB connection.
A special hub, called the root hub, is an integral part of the host system (typically built into the motherboard), and provides one or more attachment points for USB devices (the pons available on the computer). The built-in USB ports on computers function as the root hub. USB provides for a total of up to five levels of devices. The root hub is at the first level. Regular hubs can form up to three additional levels, and nodes can function as the last level.
You can add or remove most USB devices from a computer while the computer is turned on. This practice is often referred to as hot-plugging the device. Plug and Play detects the presence (or absence) of the device and configures it for operation.
The USB interface provides power to the peripheral that is attached to it. The root hub provides power from the host computer to directly connected devices. Hubs also supply power to connected devices. Even if the interface supplies power to the USB devices, USB devices also can have ' cameras and Men (3::own power SOUI’CCS. if necessary. Many devices, and: as digital ’ w more Power than a USB hub can provide.
The first step in troubleshooting USB problems is to check the BIOS setup to make sure that the USB function is enabled for the computer.
USB functionality is enabled in the BIOS Check Device Manager to make sure that the USB controller appears there. In Windows10, the USB controller should be listed under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers entry (using the default Devices By Type view in Device Manager).
The controller does not BIOS .appear in Device Manager, or a yellow warning icon appears next to the controller Contact the BIOS manufacturer for an updated copy of the BIOS
because the computer’s BIOS might be outdated
The controller is present in Device Manager. Right-click the USB controller, and then select Properties. If there are any problems, a message should appear in the Device Status section on the General tab of the controller's Properties dialog box.
The BIOS and controller settings apear to be correct Check the USB port drivers next. USB ports are listed in Device Manager as USB Root Hubs. Right-click a USB Root Hub entry, and then select Properties. Use the Driver tab of the USB Root Hub Properties dialog box to update or roll back drivers. if necessary.
When troubleshooting USB devices, you must be aware that the problem could be a result of general USB issues or be a problem with the device itself. Usually, bu; “0! always, general USB issues affect more than one device. If you suspect a problem With a specific device, uninstall the device by using Device Manager, disconnect the device from the computer, and then restart the computer. After the computer restarts, reconnect the device and let Plug and Play detect, install, and configure it again. If the device still does not function correctly, investigate the possibility that the device is damaged in some way or that you need to obtain updated drivers from Microsoft or the device manufacturer.
Smart Card Readers
Smart cards are small, credit card-sized devices that are used to store information, Smart cards are generally used to store authentication credentials, such as public and private keys, and other forms of personal information. They are highly portable, allowing users to easily carry their credentials and other personal information with them.
A computer must have a smart card reader to access a smart card. The reader is generally a PS/Z, USB, or PC Card device, although some computers have smart card readers built in. Windows 10 supports Plug and Play smart card readers that follow the Personal Computer/Smart Card (PC/SC) standards. A manufacturer might provide a device driver for its legacy smart card device, but Microsoft recommends using only Plug and Play smart card readers.
In addition to installing drivers for a smart card reader, you must enable the Smart Card service for Windows 10 to read smart cards. After you have installed and configured the smart card reader, make sure that the Smart Card service is started by using the Services snap-in in Computer Management.
Game Controllers
How to Calibrate Your Game Controller in Windows 10
If it does not install properly, in Device Manager, look under Human Interface Devices. If the controller is not listed, then check to make sure that USB is enabled in the BIOS. When prompted during system startup, access BIOS setup and enable USB. If USB is enabled in BIOS, contact the maker or vendor for your computer and obtain the Current version of BIOS.
To configure the controller, open control panel, then devices and printer,then
then click on the “Properties” button.then click the button in this window that reads “Calibrate”.using the Xbox 360 or xbox one controller here, so you may see slightly different
windows depending on your controller, but most of it should be very
similar. Click Next to start the calibration.
Handheld Devices
Most handheld devices support either IrDA standards or connect to the computer through a serial or USB port. For handheld devices that use a port, some connect directly to the port, and some connect to a cradle, which in turn is connected to the port.
You will need to install software so that Windows 10can communicate correctly with the handheld device. For example, Palm-based personal digital assistants (PDAs) require you to install the Palm desktop software to allow the PDA to transfer data to and from a Windows-based PC. Handheld devices running Windows Mobile software, such as the Pocket PC, require that you install a program named ActiveSync 0n the computer.
