 Welcome to TVL 11- ICT(Computer System Servicing)!

The ​Learning ​Activity Sheet is a product of the collaborative efforts of the

Schools Division of Antique and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas through
the Curriculum and Learning Management Division (CLMD). This is developed to
guide the learning facilitators (teachers, parents and responsible adults) in helping the
learners meet the standards set by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

The ​Learning Activity Sheet ​is self-directed instructional materials aimed to

guide the learners in accomplishing activities at their own pace and time using the
contextualized resources in the community. This will also assist the learners in
acquiring the lifelong learning skills, knowledge and attitudes for productivity and
employment.
  

For learning facilitator:

 The ​TVL 11- ICT (Computer System Servicing) Activity Sheet ​will help you
facilitate the teaching-learning activities specified in each Most Essential Learning
Competency (MELC) with minimal or no face-to-face encounter between you and
learner. This will be made available to the learners with the references/links to ease the
independent learning.

For the learner:

The ​TVL 11- ICT (Computer System Servicing) Activity Sheet ​is developed to
help you continue learning even if you are not in school. This learning material provides
you with meaningful and engaging activities for independent learning. Being an active
learner, carefully read and understand the instructions then perform the activities and
answer the assessments. This will be returned to your facilitator on the agreed
schedule

II. Background Information for Learners

On Windows 10, a device driver is an essential piece of code, which allows the system
to interact with a specific hardware (such as graphics card, storage driver, network
adapter, Bluetooth, etc.), as well as peripherals, including mice, keyboards, printers,
monitors, and many others.

But occasionally, you’ll plug in something that’s either too new for Windows to know
about or too old for it to remember. Or perhaps something attached to your PC
becomes cranky, and you see odd messages grumble about “needing a new driver.”
In these cases, it’s up to you to track down and install a Windows driver for that part.
The best drivers come with an installation program that automatically places the
software in the right place, fixing the problem. The worst drivers leave all the grunt work
up to you.

Ways to install Device Drivers into your PC

1. Using Drivers CD/DVD
2. Download directly from manufacturer’s support website
3. Direct Update from Device Manager

After successfully installing a windows

operating system, first thing to do always
is to check the ​device manager​ to look
for required device drivers to install.

There are several ways to open the

device manager​, this procedure will work
both with windows 10 or windows 7:
1. Press ​Win Key + R​, type
devmgmt.msc ​then press
Enter.

This devices require to install or update

drivers.

5
If Windows doesn’t automatically recognize and install your newly attached piece of
hardware — even after you restart your PC — follow these steps to locate and install a
new driver:

1. Using Driver CD / DVD

The ​drivers CD​ is a CD or DVD included
with computers that contain the necessary device
drivers for the hardware components included with
your computer. This CD can be used after erasing
your computer and starting over to install each of the
hardware devices not automatically detected by
Windows. In the picture, is an example of
a Dell drivers and utilities CD. When this disc is
inserted into the computer, you can select the
devices you want to install.
If you've lost your drivers CD, it is likely you can still find the drivers necessary
for your computer on the Internet through the manufacturer’s website.

2. Visit the part manufacturer’s website and download the latest

Windows driver.
You often find the manufacturer’s website stamped somewhere on the
part’s box. If you can’t find it, search for the part manufacturer’s name
on ​Google​ and locate its website.
Look in the website’s Support, Downloads, or Customer Service area.
There, you usually need to enter your part’s name, its model number, and
your computer’s operating system (Windows 10) before the website
coughs up the driver.
No Windows 10 driver listed? Try downloading a Windows 8.1, 8, or 7
driver, instead — they sometimes work just as well.

6
 If the downloaded file has a little zipper on the icon, right-click it and
choose Extract All to ​unzip​ its contents into a new folder that contains the
files. (Windows names that new folder after the file you’ve unzipped,
making it easy to relocate.) Look for ​Setup​ executable file, double-click to
open the driver installer and proceed with installation.

3. Direct Update from Device Manager

The Device Manager appears, listing an
inventory of every part inside or attached

to your computer. A yellow triangle

with an embedded exclamation point icon
appears next to the troublemaking part.

Click your problematic device listed in the

Device Manager window. Then click
Action​ from the Device Manager’s menu
bar and choose ​Add Legacy Hardware
from the drop-down menu.

Adding new hardware / peripherals to your system

You need to install drivers only in either of these two cases:

✔ You’ve just bought and installed a new piece of hardware, and it’s not working
correctly. The drivers packaged with newly bought parts are usually old. Visit the
manufacturer’s website, download the latest driver, and install it. Chances are
good that the new driver fixes problems with the first set of drivers.
✔ You’ve plugged in a new gadget that Windows doesn’t recognize. Tracking down
and installing the latest driver can often fix the problems.

Tip:
1. But if you’re not having trouble with a piece of hardware, don’t bother updating
its driver, even if you find a newer one online. Chances are good that newer
driver adds support only for newer models of the gadget you own. And that new
driver might throw a glitch into something that was already working fine.
2. Don’t bother signing up for a service that claims to keep your computer
up-to-date with the latest drivers. They can do more harm than good.

7
 3. If your newly installed driver makes things even worse, there’s a solution: Boot in
Safe Mode (if needed); Head back to Device Manager, double-click the
troublesome part’s name, and click the Driver tab on the Properties box. Keep
your breathing steady. Then click the Roll Back Driver button. Windows ditches
the newly installed driver and returns to the previous driver.
