• Device Mangler Win 10

    From Jeff Gaines@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 3 12:45:15 2024
    I am having a problem with a new (purchased 16 Feb 2024) Dell Monitor. It
    won't recognise the input from my Z170K. I do still have to play cables
    but I am having a rest from hanging upside down in a computer ATM!

    What is interesting is that Device Manager has a very small yellow mark at
    the bottom right of the Display Adaptor icon, it's not the big yellow exclamation mark, much more discrete:

    Any thoughts while I give my neck a rest?

    No, it's smaller blob under the right of the icon, almost too small to see.

    The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant

    In my eyes the yellow thing is a symbol for an expansion card.
    I don't see an exaclamation mark.
    On my computer the icon in device-manager looks exactly the same.

    It's a shame that Device Manager hasn't gained high-dpi icons ... maybe
    one day it'll re-implemented within Win11's Settings?

    That's a depiction of a PCI card, i.e.the Display adapter itself,
    sitting in front of the monitor.

    Any thoughts while I give my neck a rest?


    Have you thought on trying a different cable?

    It was my fault in the end, however, your point about cables is good.
    Anybody come across a cable management system for home use that's not too intrusive? I have a wooden shelf that goes from one side of the computer
    table to the other that it could hang off.

    I have this ikea one, screws under the desk up against the wall ...
    actually I have two as it's an 'L' shaped desk, it's ok, but easily gets tangled if you make too many changes.

    Thanks Andy, that's very neat :-)

    I managed to find something like it on Amazon that clamps on so I don't
    have to lay on my back screwing it up, which is getting increasingly
    difficult :-(

    Now awaiting collection as a bracket fell off, metal but apparently glued
    (or not) rather than welded.

    It's my third return recently, what has happened to quality control?
