Windows may display an error message as code 39. This occurs when the installation or reinstallation of drivers fails due to a damaged or missing drive. This operating system affects Code 39 due to registry problems.

The error codes in the Device Manager are for the Device Manager only. If you see the Code 39 error elsewhere in Windows, it is probably a system error code that you should not fix as a Device Manager problem.

Details on device manager error codes such as code 39 can be found in the Device Status section of the device properties.

Here are some useful fixes for Device Manager Error 39

Delete the UpperFilters and LowerFilters register values

A common cause of code errors 39 is the corruption of these two specific registry values in the registry key of the DVD/CD-ROM drive class.

Note: Deleting similar values in the Windows registry could also correct a code error 39 that occurs on hardware other than a DVD or CD drive. The UpperFilters/LowerFilters tutorial above shows you exactly what you need to do.
