((link)) | Windows Device Manager Keeps Refreshing

Have you beaten the refresh loop? Let me know which trick worked for you in the comments below

Unplug everything USB. If that stops the loop, update your USB drivers. If it doesn't, restart the "Plug and Play" service.

If your Windows Device Manager is stuck in a constant refresh loop, you aren’t alone. This is a surprisingly common glitch. Here is why it happens and, more importantly, how to stop it. Device Manager refreshes automatically when Windows detects a hardware change . It is designed to do this so you can see new devices appear or disappear in real-time.

There’s nothing quite as frustrating as opening Device Manager to troubleshoot a driver issue, only to watch the window flicker and refresh every few seconds. You can’t click on a device, you can’t read the error codes, and you certainly can’t uninstall a driver.
