A user is reporting that their new webcam is not working after connecting it to their Windows 10 desktop. As a technician, you decide to check the webcam's driver status in Device Manager. Upon inspection, you notice a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to the webcam device entry. What does this symbol indicate?
The device has been disabled by the user or by the system.
The device is functioning properly and does not require any further attention.
The device driver is experiencing an issue and may need to be updated or reinstalled.
The device is currently in use by another application and cannot be accessed.
In Device Manager, a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark indicates that there is an issue with the device's driver. It typically means that the driver is either missing, corrupt, or not properly installed, which can prevent the hardware from operating correctly. Device Manager uses this icon to alert users that action is needed to resolve driver-related problems.
