It seems there are a couple ways to disable and re-enable devices by commandline. Took a little bit to find the ones I recalled seeing. `devcon.exe` and `PnPUtil` are 2 options. Note that both devcon and PnPUtil are windows utilities, not 3rd party applications that one needs to trust & give permisions to which not everyone will be comfitable with. > **[PnPUtil - Windows drivers](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/pnputil)** > > PnPUtil `pnputil /disable-device ` `pnputil /enable-device` I believe devcon might not be installed by default.
