  • Cikk

This Device Manager error message indicates that a duplicate device was detected.

Error Code

42

Display Message

"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because there is a duplicate device already running in the system. (Code 42)"

Error code 42 is reported when one of the following occurs:

  • A device with a serial number is discovered in a new location in the computer before the operating system notices that the device is missing from the old location. This situation typically happens when a device is moved, either quickly or when the computer is in a standby or hibernate state, to a different location.

    In this case, you can resolve the problem by restarting the computer.

  • A bus driver incorrectly creates two identically named children on the bus. This situation occurs when multiple devices on the bus report the same serial number. A bus driver that incorrectly reports the same hardware identifiers for two or more devices can also cause this error.

    In this case, you should contact Microsoft support for more assistance with this problem.
