   Restart your system

   Click the Start button, select the Power icon, and choose 'Restart'. Rebooting forces Windows to finalize the driver registry changes and initialize the updated hardware components.

   Note: Do not skip the restart, as some changes only take effect after the kernel reloads the driver stack.
