Fixing The Device is Connected to the Driver That Magician Does Not Support
Recently, I encountered an issue where my device was connected to a driver that Magician did not support. I was able to resolve this problem by following these steps⁚
First, I opened Device Manager. To do this, I pressed the Windows key + R to open the Run window, then typed “devmgmt.msc” and hit Enter. This opened the Device Manager window.
Next, I expanded the Disk Drives category in the Device Manager window. I then right-clicked on the SSD drive and selected “Update driver.” I followed the prompts to search for updated drivers automatically and installed the latest driver.
After completing these steps, my device was no longer connected to the unsupported driver, and I was able to use Magician without any issues.
Step 1⁚ Open Device Manager
To fix the issue of the device being connected to the driver that Magician doesn’t support, the first step is to open Device Manager. To do this, I pressed the Windows key + R to open the Run window, then typed “devmgmt.msc” and hit Enter. This opened the Device Manager window.
Device Manager displays a list of all the hardware devices installed on your computer. It allows you to manage and troubleshoot hardware devices and their drivers. In this case, I used it to update the driver for my SSD.
It’s important to note that opening Device Manager requires administrative privileges. If you don’t have administrator access, you may need to contact your system administrator or IT support for assistance.
After opening Device Manager, I could proceed to the next step, which is updating the SSD driver.
Step 2⁚ Update SSD Driver
After opening Device Manager, the next step is to update the SSD driver. To do this, I expanded the “Disk drives” category and right-clicked on the SSD drive. From the context menu, I selected “Update driver.”
In this case, I chose to search automatically for the updated driver software. However, it’s also important to note that you can manually update the driver by selecting “Browse my computer for driver software” and then selecting the driver file that you have downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.
After selecting the update driver option, I followed the prompts to install the updated driver software. Once the installation was complete, I restarted my computer to ensure that the changes took effect.
After updating the SSD driver, I was able to use Magician to manage my SSD without any issues. The updated driver resolved the compatibility issue that prevented Magician from recognizing my SSD.
It’s essential to keep your device drivers up to date to ensure that your hardware devices function correctly. Outdated drivers can cause various issues, such as system instability, device malfunction, and reduced performance.
