devmgmt.msc and press Enter. "Device manager" will be opened.
If you notice any yellow mark then right-click on it --> Select "Update" and follow
the instructions. If there is no yellow mark then click on the white area in that
window. Now click on "Action"--> Scan for hardware changes. Check if its able
