How to Fix “This Device Cannot Start (code 10)” Error? [5 Methods]

[@raeyears1760]

Wouldn’t recommend doing the upper/lower filters unless you want the screen of death. Make sure you back EVERYTHING up before doing it.

[@duncan94065]

Create a restore point for sure

My HP x360 14-dh1xxx touchpad doesn't function quiet often but when connected to external mouse its working fine for me, I usually observe two errors 1) I2C HID Device not working properly 2) Mice and Other Pointing devices doesn't even pop up in device manager I used your second method and its worked fine for me, I tried tons of other settings before like editing the regedit and updating the drivers manually as well as with HP support assistant, but the problem still seemed to arrive again. Hope the CMD method suggested by you guys should fix this permanently. Thanks :)

[@Finzr]

I did the last method and only deleted the file you stated, rebooted and now my cursor is gone, i tried disabling and enabling my mouse, still gone, please help

[@Turco949]

If there were no new installations or updates of any kind, then from what I have personally experienced at home and at work, the device in question has gone caput. These suggestions and a few more would definitely be helpful/applicable if it is a software related issue but out of the blue "Device Cannot Start" has always bee n a bad device in my experience, especially if the device in question is audio, camera, wireless or wired NIC. I have actually seen BIOS updates or Security firmware updates cause this issues with aforementioned devices. Tip #1: Do not update your BIOS unless you have a valid need/reason. Tip #2: Never install "Beta" versions of BIOS updates.

[@nunyabidness4946]

Thank you for your assistance. I followed step by step until I got to registry editor and there were no upper or lower filters. I will search other options I suppose.

[@peacecraft3449]

I have tried everything here step by step and nothing has worked for me. However for step 5 the upper and lower filters do not appear when I open the registry editor. The only other thing I can think of is my widows not being up to date however I have been trying to update windows for months now and it simply never does and does not tell me why.

[@matiasgl]

Same here. I even performed a fresh install and the device gets installed automatically (Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265)

Thank you for this video! I noticed my System Firmware had a ! on it and under Properties it said the device could not be loaded. Updating the cheapset didn't work, troubleshoot detected an issue, but couldn't properly find and solve it. Roll back is what did the trick for me!

[@irwindandb]

After a month of this ordeal CODE 10/43. I finally got the solution. Went to the local laptop repair shop, and he checked and tried to do the same disable enable and uninstall restart but to no avail. When he removed all the screws of the laptop to check the hardware he found that the receiver for the WiFi was damaged. So for just Rs.400 and just half an hour, he solved my months-old problem. So for those that haven't been able to find a solution, try the EXPERTS too.

[@Gamesgmod]

There is no upper filter

[@ВиталийОвчаренко-и1н]

1. Update drivers: Ensure your drivers are up to date as outdated or corrupted drivers can cause the This Device Cannot Start (code 10) error. 2. Perform a Windows reset: Resetting Windows can potentially resolve the issue if the problem persists. 3. Use Windows troubleshooter: Run the hardware and devices troubleshooter in Windows to automatically detect and fix any issues. 4. Check registry and power settings: Incorrect registry or power settings can also cause the error, so ensure they are correct. 5. Verify UpperFilters and LowerFilters: Check the UpperFilters and LowerFilters in the registry to see if they are correctly configured.

Double click the I2C device and look if something happens. FOr me this solved the issue.

How about if you cannot find the device in the device manager anymore? what is the problem with that? thanks

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, If your external hard disk is not showing up in disk management, it's possible that there is an issue with the connection between the hard disk and your computer. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: Check the cable and connections. Check if the hard disk is spinning up. Check if the hard disk is recognized on another computer. Check the power supply. Try data recovery software. Download Recoverit here: bit.ly/3ZoowNK If none of these steps work, it's possible that the hard disk has failed and may need to be replaced.

I just love how you DON'T listen to people and their error for the MOUSE. HOW do I right click WITHOUT a mouse? You don't!!!! I've restarted, reset Windows 10 completely, used the keyboard to get into the Mouse settings to be told there is a driver error - error 10 and it doesn't let me roll back that corrupted driver. That's WHY I came here only for you to assume that somehow magically people will be able to use their mouse - when in fact that's the issue.

Nope, 0 for 5. I just put a USB 3.0 hub into my computer, and it's providing power to the ports, but not transferring data. Unfortunately, nothing here worked. I'm shocked this is such a pain in the ass to troubleshoot.

[@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware]

Hi there, thank you for your question! Ensure hub compatibility with your operating system, check hub power source, inspect the cables, look for hub-specific drivers, confirm USB port speed, check Device Manager for issues, test with different devices, review BIOS/UEFI settings, and consider contacting the manufacturer's support if none of these steps resolve the issue. If you bought a cheap USB 3.0 It possible that could be the cause of it not being able to transfer data.
