Abstract
To provide an information processing apparatus, a control method, and a computer-readable storage medium capable of suppressing a decrease in user convenience, processing is executed while confirming whether PnP is being executed based on the premise that there is an OS in which PnP may occur multiple times. This makes it possible to update and install the driver appropriately and prevent a user from mistakenly trying to use the device during the installation.
Claims17
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to set up by installing a driver of a target device onto an information processing apparatus and configured to cause one or more computers to function as:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain information as to whether plug and play of an operating system is being executed;
- and
- a processing unit configured to perform a specific process to update the driver applied to the target device to a first type of driver in a case where an obtainment result in the obtaining unit indicates that the plug and play is not being executed and a queue in which the first type of driver corresponding to the target device is set is not present in the information processing apparatus.
An information processing apparatus in which a program configured to set up by installing a driver of a target device onto the information processing apparatus runs, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor which function as:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain information as to whether plug and play of an operating system is being executed;
- and
- a processing unit configured to perform a specific process to update the driver applied to the target device to a first type of driver in a case where an obtainment result in the obtaining unit indicates that the plug and play is not being executed and a queue in which the first type of driver corresponding to the target device is set is not present in the information processing apparatus.
A control method for controlling an information processing apparatus to install a driver of a target device onto the information processing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- obtaining information as to whether plug and play of an operating system is being executed;
- and
- performing a specific process to update the driver applied to the target device to a first type of driver in a case where an obtainment result in the obtaining indicates that the plug and play is not being executed and a queue in which the first type of driver corresponding to the target device is set is not present in the information processing apparatus.
