With old Windows versions you had to install a hardware only after switching off your computer. And if you were to plug in a hardware like your Printer into the printer port or insert your keyboard or mouse in to the slot in the back of your computer you had to restart your computer because Windows tried to recognize or search for a device driver only when you restart your PC.
To avoid this unwanted PC reboot, Microsoft came up with a novel idea. With this port you could plug in any hardware that is USB compatible into it. These hardware were made in such a way that they tell Windows what hardware they are and which drivers are required to be loaded to get them working. But soon hardware manufacturers started making changes to their Plug and Play or USB hardware and the generic drivers that comes packed with Windows failed to run them or could not give all the designed features to the user because of the limitations of the generic device drivers.
However, some hardware like Plug and Play USB Devices, Printers, Modems, Phones, scanners, external hard disks or storage mediums like cd roms, dvd roms etc may come with their own Device Driver files. This is because the hardware manufacturer wants to give many more features than what the generic windows plug and play drivers can give your hardware. Most of the plug and play hardware works with the Windows plug and play drivers.
But many of them fails to even get recognized by Windows so even the generic drivers will not get installed for them. The plug and play devices have been desingned to identity themselves to Windows immediately on being plugged into the USB port, giving their exact manufacturer, hardware type, model numbers and other details that Windows require to load the necessary generic drivers.
So when you connect a plug and play device into the USB slot or other port, Windows tries to identify the hardware by sending a query to the hardware or device identifies itself to Windows by sending necessary details. This will not happen if the autorun feature is disabled on that USB or port. Also if the generic plug and play device driver is not present in Windows version installed in your PC or Laptop, then it will ask you for a location of the drivers or to insert the driver disk.
It is advised that even if Windows installs plug and play drivers it is always better to use the Drivers that came with the hardware beacuse the Windows generic plug and play drivers are as old as Windows whereas the driver disk your hardware manufacturer provided has the better drivers. But again it is better to go to the original hardware manufacture website and download the latest drivers for your hardware. All the changes you make are stored into your Windows Registry.
A few of the registry paths where you can find your Plug and Play settings are given below. Windows Registry is where all the setting that you make or change in your computer saved into.
Registry is the nerve center of your Computer without which Windows or any software that you use cannot function. Windows Registry is used by Windows and all the software that you install, remove and use every day like your word processor, your notepad, your video editor, your internet explorer etc. All of these applications read and write entries continously to the Windows registry making it larger every day. But some software write wrong entries or over write some entries made by another software or Windows itself.
