In Device Manager, you configure hardware resources such as device drivers, system resources like IRQs (Interrupt Request Lines), I/O ports, and memory addresses. It allows you to manage and troubleshoot connected devices, ensuring they are properly recognized and functioning within the operating system. Additionally, you can enable, disable, and uninstall devices as needed to optimize system performance.
