I can't get this batch file to work:
FOR /F "tokens=* delims=: " %%R IN ('devcon status *DEV_1677* ^| FIND "running"') DO SET STATUS=%%R
IF %STATUS% == "Driver is running."
devcon disable *DEV_1677*

Any help is appreciated

Thank you! How could I expand it to be a toggle for said device?
Something like this?

:Status
FOR /F "tokens=* delims=: " %%R IN ('devcon status *DEV_1677* ^| FIND "running"') DO SET STATUS=%%R
if not errorlevel 1 GOTO DISABLE ELSE GOTO ENABLE

:DISABLE
devcon disable *DEV_1677*
GOTO END

:ENABLE
devcon enable *DEV_1677*
GOTO END

:End

the for loop is not needed

@echo off & setlocal
set dev=*DEV_1667*
devcon status %dev%|FIND "running">nul 2>&1 && (goto:disable %dev%) || goto:enable %dev%
goto:eof

:enable
devcon enable %*
goto:eof

:disable
devcon disable %*
