I can't use the ia64-version of devcon.exe on my Windows7 professional x64 (AMD CPU). error message tells me, that the version of this applcation is not suitable for this version of windows and I should check whether I need to use a x64 or x86 version of this application.

The x86 version starts correctly, but all operations (remove, restart, disable etc) fail. Running from a command line with full privileges.

Although there is no x64 version in the package provided here, there is one in the WDK.

Instructions on how to get the x64 out of the WDK can be found here

Main page for WDK can be found here

That is for the Itanium architecture. Just because Itanium is 64-bit, it is VERY different from the 64-bit Windows OS'es you see here day to day. It requires a different set of chips and a different type of processor. It will not work.

Also, based according to this page, it was not designed for Windows 7.

Windows Device Manager is certainly a useful built-in tool to manage, uninstall and disable drivers without having an expert knowledge. The Device Manager seems handy and anyone with some basic knowledge of Windows, can open it and use it. However, today I am going to introduce you to such a program that helps users manage installed Windows drivers, right from the Command Prompt. DevCon is that free command-line utility, which lets users manage drivers from the command line.

DevCon for Windows

Devcon Tool Windows 7 Download

DevCon is available for Microsoft Windows 2000 or later version and Windows Server 2003. That means that the tool is compatible with all the latest Windows versions such as Windows 8, Windows 8.1, etc.

To begin using this tool, you will have to first, download DevCon from the Microsoft Support website. You will get it for 32-bit version as well as 64-bit version of Windows. After downloading and unzipping the file, you need to choose the version 32-bit or 64-bit, for your Windows computer. Or else, you can also put the entire unzipped DevCon folder inside your System Drive.

Next, open a Command Prompt window with administrative privileges. If you are using Windows 7 or earlier version of Windows, you can do that by searching for cmd in the Start Menu. If you are using Windows 8 or later versions, press Win+X together and select Command Prompt (Admin).

After opening the Command Prompt windows, enter the following command:

• cd c:devconi386 (For 32-bit)
• cd c:devconia64 (For 64-bit)

c:devcon is the path where you have placed the unzipped folder.

By entering this command, you have successfully started using DevCon.

Useful commands to manage Windows Drivers using DevCon

DevCon does everything that is possible to do, using Device Manager. But, it just works in a different way – using commands. Although, you can get almost all the supported commands by entering the following command, yet, here are some of them for basic management purpose.

devcon.exe help

If you want to know the status of any hardware, you need to following command,

devcon.exe status [device name]

For instance,

Devcon.exe Windows 7 64 Bit Download

devcon.exe status *CDROM*

Like the Device Manager, you can enable/disable any hardware driver using this tool. For that, you will have to enter this command,

devcon.exe enable [device name]

devcon.exe disable [device name]

If you want to know the status, enable or disable any hardware driver, you must know the name of that hardware. In case you do not know, you can get a brief list of all names by entering the following command,

devcon classes

Just like Device Manager, DevCon users can also search for any hardware changes using the following command,

devconrescan

For those, who want to know more about any particular hardware or device, this command may help,

devcon.exe –m:YourComputerName find devicename

You have to enter your computer name to specify your PC as it also works on network computer.

Advantage of using DevCon over Device Manager

The first advantage is that DevCon utility is faster than Device Manager. The second advantage is it has more flexibility. You have more options to control your installed drivers. The third and most exciting advantage of DevCon is you can manage any driver of any Windows PC in your network from any one PC.
