Disable Device Drivers

Rather than removing a device driver you suspect may be causing an issue with your hub, you can simply disable it to see if the problem is resolved.

  1. Select the X at the top right to reveal the Disable check boxes.
  2. Enter a checkmark in the box to the left of a device name is a fast and simple way to troubleshoot custom drivers you suspect may be affecting the performance or operation of your hub.
  3. Remove the checkmark from the Disable checkbox to re-enable the device.
  4. Select the red X to hide the Disable checkboxes from view.
