To find out what device you have, visit your device manager.
Find the yellow triangle with an exclamation mark.
Right-click the unknown device, select "Properties," then go to the "Details" tab.
Choose "Hardware identity documents (IDs)" from the list.
Search for those hardware IDs online to discover the device that is replicating itself.

Alternatively, you can run the command prompt and execute:
Code:
pnputil /enum-devices /problem /deviceids
