Some users also report that tweaking the registry settings helped them remove the error from their devices. We recommend that you back up your registry first before proceeding with the steps below to help you easily reverse the changes in case anything goes wrong. In case you need this backup, go back to File, and choose Import.

Then select the backup file where you stored it on your PC. Even after applying the above tricks, you also need to update your device drivers. We highly recommend using a professional driver updater such as Outbyte Driver Updater. This competent tool scans your machine for outdated device drivers, letting you update them in one click. The tool also backs up the driver before updating it to enable you to easily restore its previous version if need be.
