We would almost would forget how installing drivers in Windows used to require a crafted person. Luckily the mainstream brands have hardware that is detected and installed automatically by Windows 10 update.
I had 5 devices showing up in Device Manager without drivers. 3 said PCI Device, 1 said SM Bus Controller and the last was Unknown. Got rid of 1 PCI Device and the SM Bus with one driver. Your video helped me get rid of the other 3 with one other driver install so THANK YOU!!!
Thank you very much!! This has been a pet peeve of mine for a long time how hard it is to find an unknown device without iffy third party software. Will check into the program you mentioned too though as you are very trustworthy.
Your timing is impeccable sir, only today did I come across this very problem and after following your instructions I was able to resolve the issue, Many thanks indeed for yet another invaluable video. 🙏
Great Video as allowed me to fix my unknown devices...Base systems device & IPMI base driver after two years of trying Server 2019...Thanks Heaps man...
Finally someone explaining snappy driver manager I didn't understand a thing about it, now a little more. Thx I did last years with driver booster never had any problems with it, although 2x it installed an incompatible driver. Gr Ed
You don't have to do this every time. This is only for unknown devices. There's many reasons why a device becomes unknown. Could be an old obsolete piece of hardware. Could be an unbranded or unknown piece of hardware from China. Many many reasons
On my Windows 10 Lenovo Ideapad 305 laptop, I have a PCi Encryption/Decryption Controller with the yellow warning icon with it, and ever time I try to update it it crashes and goes to a BSoD. It has no folder as demonstrated in this video. This all happened when I was trying to transfer data from the laptop's drive to a new and fresh SSD. The hardware ID for this PCI is: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F18&SUBSYS_398617AA&REV_0E Well, that's the first one on the 'Value' list when I changed to Hardware IDs. Any advice on fixing this please Britec? I've had this problem now for a few years and even took it to several repair shops and they couldn't do it.
Suggestion: a " How to"...to remove the 'Printer Name (Copy X)', in the Devices and Printers/Control Panel. All the usual remedies suggested by everyone and their brother never seem to work. It's always 'delete printer', unplug the printer, reboot and plug in the printer, then the Copy Number increments(again)... Thanks.
Ok Brian now if one finds an unknown device before it is un-installed is there a way that it can be identified as to what it does? Because knowing my luck it would be a device that is essential for the computer running. I can see how the device can be described as in that Intel driver - I just want to be sure that I am doing the right thing. In the past, I have used driver update sites and ran into problems, so point taken there.
I have 3 items in device manager no drivers description logitech wireless? Used the method device Id vendor took me straight to logitech download driver Worked 100 %
@@Britec09 I believe the OP meant leaving your desktop window in size and just do it as if you're showing someone in person... I do appreciate the zoomed version you do as it brings more clarity to what you're trying to show for the process.
Please How can I install drivers for Samsung Galaxy Book Go 5 G... is an Arm processor laptop ... Please I need help I tried this method still didn't work
You never identified the original unknown device. When you checked the details tab, it did not have the VEN and DEV items that you used in your later example. How then, do we find the actual unknown device driver? You side stepped the entire problem that you proposed to solve.
Hi there i have this problem and try all for fix it : Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) nothing even reinstall my windows 10 edit my reg and power plan ...any advice please ? Best regards !
That is very extensive for me when I went in to locate my d disk drive it stated Windows was unable to install your unknown device Can I buy a new disk for this laptop
Brother by mistake i unistal my unknown device option Brother please help me how to get unknown device again I also restart my laptop but nothing happens Please help me🙏
Thumbs down only for not telling us the webpage address for "PCILookup" or at least including a link for it in the video description. Otherwise great information.
Think twice if you do a Bios update - the motherboardmakes dont tell all . If you must do the all the bios updates or only the latest bios-since I f I had the oldest motherboard and installed the latest bios (4 years later) - voila dead motherboard - So do bios update carefully and biosupdates can go wrong if you done all correct - Just read all complaints about that bios and updates first
Hope this fixes to missing device drivers. Drop us a LIKE 👍
Thank you for your continued work on youtube. You are a light in the darkness of a world that can be difficult to navigate. Again Thank You Britec09.
Excellent information and instruction Brian.

This is absolutely fantastic, it really is an accurate way of locating drivers
so so handy, had this prob so often in the past, cheers

How calm you are ! Thank you for sharing this. I really appreciate. Have a good day ahead hopefully
You explain it very well, but gee - who wants to do this much work for anything having to do with devices?!!

Snappy Driver did work well for me, though did get Malwarebytes giving a lot of blocking alerts in the process!)
Just scan with VirusTotal
@Leslie Jensen The program still worked and downloaded the necessary drivers, despite Malwarebytes not allowing connections to the alerted sites.

Not that long ago that Snappy driver software used to leave malware behind.
Not this version, this different version. You need Snappy Driver Installer Origin by Glenn Delahoy www.snappy-driver-installer.org/

Great job Dude. Learned a lot

I can assure you that WinCDEMU is not malware. I've used it many a time. To be honest, I prefer it over Windows 10/11's idea of ISO mounting.
I never said it was malware
