i keep seeing Unknown device on fresh installs and i never know which driver it needs. This time its on my work PC. Can someone explain how to identify it using hardware IDs and where to get the right driver safely?? Ideally Id like a method i can reuse next time instead of asking every time. Thanks! A quick explanation goes a long way.
Found the right driver for Unknown device using hardware IDs
sorry forgot to say the hardware ID starts with a vendor ID that matches ASRock. sorry for the wall of text lol
Open Device Manager > device > Properties > Details > Hardware Ids. The
VEN_xxxx&DEV_xxxxpart identifies the vendor and device. Searching that ID (or checking the INF files in a driver package) tells you which package covers it.oof common mappings: SM Bus Controller usually needs teh chipset package; PCI Simple Communications Controller is often teh Management Engine interface; Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller often relates to thermal or platform drivers.
