The OS has the prime task of managing the hardwares, softwares and peripheral devices so that the smooth flow of data inputs, processing and outputs of data will have its meaningful results. The device manager is important in this specially when updating of devices softwares are concerned. Photo’s credit to https://in.pinterest.com/ pin/760334349565258101/ A. The Operating System And Its Function The computer is composed of hardwares and softwares to make its function as a system. The software that is very important is the operating system. Operating system (OS) is a system software in the computer to manage hardware, software, peripheral devices and other computer programs connected to its unit. The operating system has is basic functions: - See to it that it handles the translation request from the devices and the computer. - It is used to define where the data will be inputted, process to put the outgoing data before sending it into meaningful messages, also storing the messages that it has received for the future use. - It is used to awaken the peripheral device/s when it is needed to perform its tasks and when it has completed its work the OS will put it back to sleep when it is not being used. B. Locating Your Device Manager When you work with the computer the device manager is always a part of the system. Device manager is a utility program application in the control panel included in the operating system of the computer. The device manager allow the users to view and control the hardware peripheral devices connected to the computer and will show the following data: - It displays the information about the peripheral devices on the computer. - The type of device is shown on the device manager. - The status of the devices is monitored. - The manufacturer of the device. - The device specific properties. In locating the device manager can be done through different ways: 1. Device Manager thru the Control Panel Control panel is a part of the system that has the ability to view and make a change in system settings on hardwares and softwares. Control panel includes system and security, network and internet, user accounts, hardware and sound, programs, appearance and personalization, clock and region, and ease of access. The device manager is located in one of the selections and can be viewed on the screen by following these procedures: - In your windows 7 click Start Control Panel - Click System and Security System Device Manager 3 Images on locating the Device Manager thru the Control Panel The Device Manager Photo Reference: https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base147712/#:~:text=From%20the%20Windows%20desktop%2C%20click,Click%20Device%20Manager 2. Device Manager thru the Command Prompt Command prompt is an operating system default command line interpreter which is cmd.exe. The device manager can be opened following these procedures: - Press the windows key ( ) on your keyboard + - Type…..devmgmt.msc press Image to type the command….devmgmt.msc Photo Reference: https://www.howtogeek.com/167094/how-to-use-the-windows-device-manager-for-troubleshooting/ 3. Device Manager thru the Search Box Search box is a graphical control element bar on the lower part of the computer screen for locating items through its file manager database or search through web browsers and websites. To open the device manager using the search box can be done by these procedures: 4 - Locate the search box (on the lower left of the screen) Type Device Manager press Enter Images in using the search box for the device manager Photo Reference: https://www.howtogeek.com/167094/how-to-use-the-windows-device-manager-for-troubleshooting/ 4. Device Manager thru the Computer Icon Computer icon ( ) is a folder shortcut to the windows explorer containing information about hard drives and partitions, CD/or DVD drive, USB drive, documents, pictures, music and video files, as well as other connected devices. To open the device manager through the computer icon can be done on these procedures: - Right-click the computer icon. - Click properties Device Manager. C. Why Is Update Necessary Common situation that you will see in your computer “update and shutdown” or “update and restart”, this scenario happens that your computer will update its software before it will shutdown; also it will update its software before restarting the computer. Software update is the way done by software developers for improvement or fine-tuning their products to make it the best in its performance. This small improvement makes the operation of the device to perform better, up to date and improve its characteristics. Update is necessary due to the following conditions: - A new computer with pre-installed software When a new computer is purchased and demonstrate to you that it is working well it is loaded with a pre-installed operating system as part of its saleability. Then you will be connecting its power source including perhaps its internet and make it work. The computer will prompt you to update, the reason is that there are many updates that have been released and the computer’s action is to apply these updates to its system, either automatically or manually. - A new peripheral device is connected to the computer When you connect a new printer to the computer the system will notify the user that a new device is connected such device has its own device driver installer included in its package and waiting for instruction to continue with the installation of the unit. Anything newly added peripherals to the computer will need updating of its software…say you replace your mouse with another one, as soon as you plug in the mouse to its USB port and the machine detects a new device, the operating system of the computer will respond for updating the newly connected device and automatically find compatible software update in its database to install the needed software updates. 5 - Outdated software/s The outdated software is a program that is no longer supported by its manufacturer or vendor because it is out of date and not compatible with the latest operating system. Due to this the security issues might prosper and increases vulnerability, or sometimes system failure. To solve issues like this, regular updates and upgrade is necessary for the better function of the device/s with its installed software. - Unknown devices Once you are in the device manager and found out “unknown device” shown to you, your question is…why is it unknown? Unknown devices are those that are not functioning properly because they do not have any driver installed or included in your updates. It this is the situation of your device, locate the hardware ID of such peripheral and proceed to their official website for it’s hardware manufacturer’s issues. Example is that your hardware is one of the given samples: Acer, AMD, Apple, Asus, Brother, Canon, Epson, HP, Lenovo, Logitech, Microsoft, MSI, Nvidia, Realtek, Samsung, Sony, etc. proceed to their websites in order to solve your problem on peripheral device software, if probable, you may download their software fitted for the device/s that you have in your computer. D. Proceeding To Update Update device driver is the process of searching for driver updates for the connected device in your computer. This will allow you to search online for an updated version on the driver of the device or manually choose specific driver that is available in your computer system. The updating can be done on the device manager as follows: - Locate the device manager. - Select the name of the device from the lists of devices. - Right-click the device you intend to update. - Follow the on-screen instruction for the computer to search online. - If you choose the other way you can do it manually. ACTIVITIES Activity No. 1. Inside the box is the sequence of locating the device manager thru the control panel in windows 7, 1 is the first sequence, 2 is the next sequence and so on. Control Panel Device Manager Start System System & security 1._____ 2._____ 3._____ 6 4._____ 5._____ Activity No. 2. Match the items in column A by writing a line to column B that will complete the description or statement of column A. Column A Column B 1. A new computer Not functioning, driver not installed 2. New peripheral device Driver issue due to manufacturing date 3. Outdated software Pre-installed software 4. Unknown device A printer connected to the computer REMEMBER Driver updates is a part of the device manager’s function to locate either automatically or manually the latest version of softwares for the peripheral devices connected to the computer. New computer with preinstalled softwares need driver updates, and also when a new peripherals is connected to the computer will require driver updates.
