Here's how to Fix Code 14, This device can not work properly until you restart your computer.

Device Manager Error code 14, "This device cannot work properly until you restart your computer," is a relatively common error that can occur with any device connected to your computer. It can be caused by a number of factors, including:

* A temporary software glitch
* A corrupted or outdated device driver
* A hardware issue with the device

The first thing you should try if you see this error is to restart your computer. This will often fix the problem. If the error persists, you can try the following:

* **Update your device drivers.** This is the most common solution for Error code 14. You can download the latest drivers from the website of the manufacturer of the device in question.
* **Disable and then re-enable the device.** This can sometimes fix minor problems with the device. To do this, open Device Manager, locate the device, right-click on it, and select "Disable device." After a few seconds, right-click on the device again and select "Enable device."
* **Uninstall and then reinstall the device.** This is a more drastic solution, but it can sometimes fix problems with corrupted or outdated device drivers. To do this, open Device Manager, locate the device, right-click on it, and select "Uninstall device." Once the device has been uninstalled, restart your computer. Windows will automatically reinstall the device when it restarts.
* **Try the device in a different computer.** If you have access to another computer, try plugging the device into that computer. If the device works on the other computer, then the problem is most likely with your original computer. If the device does not work on the other computer, then the problem is most likely with the device itself.
