Plug in the device, select the device driver to be uninstalled in the device manager, and uninstall its driver. Everyone knows how to do it, but what if the device blue screens as soon as it is plugged into the computer, and you don't even have the chance to open the device manager? Here is a solution. This method can also help clean up a lot of useless drivers.
These two days, I played with CrazyBingo's USB Camera. His camera is made of USB2.0 chip CY7C68013, and the default driver of this chip does not support win764 bit. You need to turn off the windows mandatory signature. I turned off this driver signature, and after turning it off, I successfully installed the driver and captured the image. However, when I checked my own USB3.0 development board on the computer, it started to blue screen. Turning off the driver signature also blue screened. No matter what, it blue screened as soon as it was plugged in. I guess it should be a conflict between the two drivers.
Consider uninstalling the driver first. How to uninstall? The Internet says to find the device and then click the device to uninstall. However, my device blue screens as soon as I plug it in, and I don't give myself a chance to uninstall. What should I do? Can I find the driver and uninstall it without connecting the device? The answer is yes. First, go to Start > cmd, then enter setdevmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
in the command prompt, then enter: devmgmt.msc Then in the device manager, check the "Show hidden devices" option.

The gray ones are the ones that have been installed with drivers before, but the device is not connected now. Then, find the device driver you want to delete and delete it slowly. I just deleted a lot of them in one go. After deleting them, plug in the USB3.0 development board again, and there will be no blue screen. The problem is solved.
