How to disable a device in Device Manager on multiple computers

Question

Hi!

I need to disable a device in Device Manager in over 300 laptops, but I know there has to be better way to disable it rather than going to all of them and physically touching it.
Can this be done in Endpoint Manager? Maybe a PowerShell script?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@Jasper , Based as I know, there's no built option to disable hardware device in device manager in Intune. But you can check if there's any PowerShell Script to do this.

After researching, I find a link describe this. You can write the PowerShell script refer to the following link:

Note: Non-Microsoft link, just for the reference.

After the PowerShell script is working on one device, then we can consider deploying it in a batch via Intune script

Hope it can help.
