With device control, you can manage the devices and drivers of your computer. Your devices are listed on the left in ¹, and the actions in ² may affect all devices. The details of the selected device are listed on the right in ³, and the actions in ⁴ only affect the selected device.

If you click on ¹, you can perform the actions that apply to all devices. To scan your computer for hardware changes, you can click on Scan devices ². This takes about a minute as Windows searches for all possible changes.

In ³, you can disable, enable, restart, and uninstall a device, or install, back up, and uninstall a driver. The backup and install actions are described in more detail below.

If you select a device, you see all information that Driver Fusion can find about the device and its driver. The device details ¹ are listed at the top with properties such as the hardware ids, status, and problem code.

Further down, the driver details ² include properties such as the version, release date, and files.

Next, you'll find the used or reserved resources (IRQ, IO, DMA, and memory) ³. If this section doesn't appear, the selected device has no resources.

If the selected device has any events, such as when it was started, they appear next in ⁴.

At the bottom, you can access the identifier ⁵ to determine the class, description, and manufacturer of known and unknown devices.

The available information depends on the selected device, as not all devices and drivers provide the same properties.

After selecting a device, you can back up a driver by clicking Backup ¹.

Select a driver in ², and then click Next ³ to select a destination. The drivers you can select include the installed driver, the drivers that are present in Windows, and the drivers that are available online.

The version number and release date are listed on the right side of each driver.

To add a new destination, click Add ⁴. To back up your selected driver, click OK ⁵.

After selecting a device, you can install a driver by clicking Install ¹.

You can select a driver in ² from your backed up drivers, those available online, or drivers already available in Windows. To install a driver you've downloaded or backed-up elsewhere, click Add driver ³ to include it. To install your selected driver, click OK ⁴.

To check if a device or driver has a problem, see if a colored indicator is shown on the icon ¹ and hover over it for more details. If a problem occurs, locate the problem code listed in device details ² and apply our recommended solution first. You can also try to Install ³ a different driver, or uninstall the device and then scan for hardware changes. If the problem persists, search online using the problem code, description, manufacturer, and hardware ids.
