How to Fix Code 37 Errors

Code 37 errors are a type of device driver error that occurs on Windows operating systems. This error is caused by a problem with the device driver for a specific device, and it can prevent the device from functioning properly. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you fix the problem.

First, try updating the device driver. To do this, go to the Device Manager, find the device that is causing the error, right-click on it and select "Update driver". Windows will then search for an updated version of the driver and install it if it finds one.

If updating the driver does not work, try uninstalling the driver and then reinstalling it. Right-click on the device, and select "Uninstall." Then, restart your computer and Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.

If uninstalling and reinstalling the driver does not work, try disabling and then re-enabling the device. To do this, go to the Device Manager, locate the device, right-click on it and select "Disable". Wait a few seconds and then right-click on it again and select "Enable."

Additional Troubleshooting Steps

If the above steps do not work, then here are some additional troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check for Windows updates: Make sure that your computer is running the latest version of Windows by checking for updates.

2. Check for firmware updates: Some devices may require a firmware update in order to function properly. Check the manufacturer's website for any available firmware updates for your device.

3. Check for conflicts with other devices: Conflicts with other devices can cause Code 37 errors. Go to the Device Manager and check for any devices that have a yellow exclamation mark next to them. This can indicate a conflict with another device.

4. Run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter: Windows has 

   a built-in troubleshooter for hardware and devices that can help to identify and fix problems. To run the troubleshooter, go to the "Control Panel" and select "Troubleshoot." Then, select "Hardware and Devices" and follow the prompts to run the troubleshooter.

   5. Disable and re-enable the device from BIOS: If the above steps do not work, you can try disabling the device from the BIOS and then re-enabling it. Entering the BIOS settings may vary depending on the computer manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer's website or manual for instructions on how to enter the BIOS settings. Once in the BIOS settings, look for the option to disable and re-enable the device causing the error.

   6. Check for malware: Sometimes, malware can cause device driver errors. Run a scan using an anti-malware program to ensure that your computer is free of malware.

   7. Disable and re-enable the device through Device Manager: This step is similar to step 3, however, instead of disabling and re-enabling the device from the BIOS, you do it through the Device Manager. Go to Device Manager, find the device causing the error, right-click on it, select "disable" then after a few seconds right-click on it again and select "enable".

   8. Rollback driver: If the device was working fine before, you can try rolling back the driver to the previous version. To do this, go to Device Manager, find the device causing the error, right-click on it, select "properties", then select the "Driver" tab, and click on "Rollback driver".
