Rescan new connected devices and search for their driver with C#

5.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a new driver to install it programatically with C# code.
I have used the "UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices" function, but the driver is installed only when I un-plug and plug my device (USB device) or restart my PC or doing it manually with the device manager.
My question is: is there any method to rescan new devices automatically or is there other functions then the "UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices" that can do this?

Thanks in advance.
