  Hi enu cheong,

   

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

   

   

   

  We would like to get more information from you, to help troubleshoot your issue. Please answer the following questions as best you can.

   

  ·         When was the last time it was working?

  ·         Do you remember making any changes to the computer recently?

  ·         What device does the hardware wizard try to install?

   

  This found new hardware wizard may appear if the any hardware device drivers are not getting installed on the computer.

  If you want to disable that prompt you can disable that by going to device manager and look for any device that has a yellow color bang on it and right on that device and click on disable to disable the device.

  But I would recommend that you install the required drivers for the device to work properly on the computer by update the device.

   

  Using Device Manager, you can view the device drivers installed on your computer, update drivers for your devices, check to see if hardware is working properly, and modify hardware settings.

   

  • Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager.‌ If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
