Upgrade of Vista to SP1 re-enabled disabled hardware
May 9th, 2008
When I installed Service Pack 1 for Vista yesterday I noticed that hardware that I had disabled in Device Manager had been re-enabled.
Both my Wi-Fi and webcam hardware were now enabled. I had set them both to disabled because I don’t use them when I’m at home and I don’t want any potential malware using them either.
So make sure that if you upgrade Vista to SP1 that you check device manager for any unwanted changes.
