I was Having the same problem everyone else was, Empty Device manager (among other
related problems..Slow Folders, context menus etc.) I tried All of the fixes listed
here and none of them worked for me. Then one time when I was in Safe Mode, I decided
to check device manager there. My devices showed up, and one other interesting thing.
Under the system devices tree there were 2 instances of "PnP BIOS Extension", one
of which had (!) indicating a conflict. I disabled and uninstalled the conflicted
instance and Viola! Everything was fixed!
Hope this helps some of you who have tried all the other fixes with no luck.
