Probably the most powerful feature is the ability to connect to a network PC (as long as you have administrative rights), and remotely view, enable or disable its services. Other bonus features include options to open a device's key in REGEDIT, open its INF file, or run a Google search for the device name. Right-clicking a device displays the usual Disenable/ Enable options, but you can apply these to multiple devices at once. Most of this is available in Device Manager or too low-level for us to care about, but Device Registry Time was interesting, as it appears to show when the device was last connected, or maybe used (you may need to experiment to see how this works for you). Clicking Options > Show Only Connected Devices and Options > Show Only Devices With Location String cut the display down to the essentials, and there are other filters if you need them (Show Non-Plug-and-Play Drivers).ĭouble-clicking a device displays more information about it. The program defaults to showing just about everything, too, so for example we had to scroll through 19 "Generic volume" devices on our test PC.įortunately this is easily fixed. The interface is a problem, with devices shown in a flat table rather than a tree, making it harder to see how they're related. DevManView is a compact, free and portable alternative to Task Manager with some additional expert-level features.
