Answer 1

Hi,

A yellow exclamation point next to a device in Device Manager means that Windows has identified a problem of some kind with that device is detected but not installed.

There are several causes of Code 39 errors:

·         A required device driver is missing.

·         A required binary file is corrupted.

·         There is a problem with the file I/O process.

·         A driver that is referencing an entry point in another binary file is unable to load.

I recommend you to uninstall and  reinstall the latest drives from the manufactures’ website and check if it helps.

Refer to the steps from the following Microsoft article.
