Device Manager Problem Codes

A problem code is what the Plug and Play manager records against a device it could not bring up, and what the Device Manager shows in its place. It is an ordinal rather than an error code: the value is only meaningful next to the device it was set on, so these get no code page.

CodeSymbolicAbstract
1CM_PROB_NOT_CONFIGUREDThis Device Manager error message indicates that there is a device on the system for which there is no ConfigFlags registry entry. This means no driver is installed. Typically this means an INF file could not be found.
3CM_PROB_OUT_OF_MEMORYThis Device Manager error message indicates that the system is probably running low on system memory.
9CM_PROB_INVALID_DATAThis Device Manager error message indicates that invalid device IDs have been detected.
10CM_PROB_FAILED_STARTThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device failed to start.
12CM_PROB_NORMAL_CONFLICTThis Device Manager error message indicates that two devices have been assigned the same I/O ports, the same interrupt, or the same DMA channel (either by the BIOS, the operating system, or a combination of the two).
14CM_PROB_NEED_RESTARTThis Device Manager error message indicates that the system must be restarted in order for the device to function.

22CM_PROB_DISABLEDThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device is disabled.
24CM_PROB_DEVICE_NOT_THEREThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device does not seem to be present.
28CM_PROB_FAILED_INSTALLThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device's drivers are not installed.
29CM_PROB_HARDWARE_DISABLEDThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device is disabled.
31CM_PROB_FAILED_ADDThis Device Manager error message indicates that the function driver for the device returned an error from its AddDevice routine.
32CM_PROB_DISABLED_SERVICEThis Device Manager error message indicates that the driver has been disabled.
33CM_PROB_TRANSLATION_FAILEDThis Device Manager error message indicates that resource translation failed for the device.
34CM_PROB_NO_SOFTCONFIGThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device requires a forced configuration.
35CM_PROB_BIOS_TABLEThis Device Manager error message indicates that the MPS table is bad and has to be updated.
36CM_PROB_IRQ_TRANSLATION_FAILEDThis Device Manager error message indicates that the IRQ translation failed for the device.
37CM_PROB_FAILED_DRIVER_ENTRYThis Device Manager error message indicates that the driver returned failure from its DriverEntry routine.
38CM_PROB_DRIVER_FAILED_PRIOR_UNLOADThis Device Manager error message indicates that the driver could not be loaded because a previous instance is still loaded.
39CM_PROB_DRIVER_FAILED_LOADThis Device Manager error message indicates that the driver could not be loaded.
40CM_PROB_DRIVER_SERVICE_KEY_INVALIDThis Device Manager error message indicates that information in the registry's service key for the driver is invalid.
41CM_PROB_LEGACY_SERVICE_NO_DEVICESThis Device Manager error message indicates that a driver was loaded but Windows cannot find the device.
42CM_PROB_DUPLICATE_DEVICEThis Device Manager error message indicates that a duplicate device was detected.
43CM_PROB_FAILED_POST_STARTThis Device Manager error message indicates that a driver has reported a device failure.
44CM_PROB_HALTEDThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device has been stopped.
45CM_PROB_PHANTOMThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device is not present.
46CM_PROB_SYSTEM_SHUTDOWNThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device is not available because the system is shutting down.
47CM_PROB_HELD_FOR_EJECTThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device has been prepared for ejection.
48CM_PROB_DRIVER_BLOCKEDThis Device Manager error message indicates that the system will not load the driver because it is listed in the Windows Driver Protection database supplied by Windows Update.
49CM_PROB_REGISTRY_TOO_LARGEThis Device Manager error message indicates that the registry is too large.
50CM_PROB_SETPROPERTIES_FAILEDThis Device Manager error message indicates that device properties cannot be set.
51CM_PROB_WAITING_ON_DEPENDENCYThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device did not start because it has a dependency on another device that has not started.
52CM_PROB_UNSIGNED_DRIVERThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device did not start on a 64-bit version of Windows because it has a driver that is not digitally signed. For more information about how to sign drivers, see Driver Signing.
53CM_PROB_USED_BY_DEBUGGERThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device is reserved for use by the Windows kernel debugger.
54CM_PROB_DEVICE_RESETThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device has failed and is undergoing a reset.
55CM_PROB_CONSOLE_LOCKEDThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device is blocked from enumeration due to a Group Policy / MDM (Intune) policy to protect from DMA attacks.
56CM_PROB_NEED_CLASS_CONFIGThis Device Manager error message indicates that Windows is still setting up the class configuration for this device.
57CM_PROB_GUEST_ASSIGNMENT_FAILEDThis Device Manager error message indicates that the device did not start because of a failure during device assignment.
