Under ‘Open’ type devmgmt.msc and click ‘OK’.Using your keyboard, press the Windows button + R to open the Run window.Please note: you will need administrator access on the computer to use the device manager. This can be useful for integrated devices, such as a camera or microphone, that you cannot physically remove but do not want to be used. When a device is disabled Windows and all applications will not be able to use the device. The process below details how to disable devices using the device manager in Windows 10.
