Disable Hardware in W10
-
Anyone know how to permanently disable a hardware device in Windows 10? Soundcard. I disabled it. I uninstalled the drivers. On next reboot, there it was, back again. I multi-boot and other OSes need the card, so I can't just take it out. They need to put the hardware profiles things back in the OS. Grrrr.

Did you try to leave the drivers installed? Or disable automatic driver updates from Windows Update? BTW what's the reason for disabling it (just curious because you said you need it for other OSs, so obviously it's not a hardware issue I guess)?

Despite it working with EVERY other program on the computer, if I leave it there and try to run Cakewalk Sonar, the OS goes into never-never land and I get a DPC_WATCHDOG_EXCEPTION. Even if I'm not using the sound card with Sonar. Just being there kills it. I'l try the no automatic updates thing, but I think it's more of a found-new-hardware thing.

What kind of sound card is it? There may be updated drivers available from the manufacturer that aren't available through Windows Update. I just updated my laptop's graphics and audio drivers using an updater provided with the system when I bought it (the notices are non-intrusive, a simple notification in the lower right hand corner that vanishes after a few seconds.)
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

It's an old SoundBlaster X-Fi. Just noticed they have FINALLY made a Win10 driver. I'll see if it works with Sonar.

Well, did it work?

I think that if you uninstall a driver, it is essentially completly removed including information about being disabled and thus it would get reinstalled next time if the driver still exist (which is probably often the case). So to prevent it from being reinstalled, you have to leave it disabled (and not uninstall it).

Hello, Had the same issue, it is caused by a bad driver, usually provided by default in Windows 10. It is better to install the last working driver for 7/8.1, since there are other problems as well. Thanks. Sukhbir singh badal

You can install a 'null inf' file on the device. It ties up the vid/pid to no service which makes the PnP system think it is installed.
