Caution

  • Improperly changing the startup type of a boot device or system device can cause the system to become unstable or to no longer boot, or cause the device to stop working altogether. You should fully understand the instructions before changing this setting.

Notes

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure.

  • To open Device Manager, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, double-click Computer Management, and then click Device Manager.

  • The Startup Type defaults to the type required by the driver when the driver is first installed. You can use the options described in the following table to change the default. Use caution when changing the startup type; be sure that you fully understand the instructions before you change this setting.
