Device manager orange entries

Maranna · May 8, 2024

I have Windows 11 23H2 226331. 3527 And in device manager there are five entries which stand out to the right in Orange indicating missing drivers. I understand one fix has been to update optional drivers which I did to no avail. I did a clean install and the problem still existed. I went to Intel to find if any were missing but they weren't.
My board which was custom built for me is Z 790- V Prime Wi-Fi intel.
Can anyone hear fix these outstanding entries in device manager.
I was told they are ghosts and they do no harm for things that are not installed but I don't think that's true

If your computer is working fine there is no need to grab them. However, You can go to the properties for each item, and under details, go to hardware ID. You can copy this and paste into google to find the driver.

Also, I noticed you have a custom pc, so if you go to the motherboard manufacturer's website you can use their driver update tool armory crate to find the drivers.

If you open an elevated command prompt and enter the following:

Code:

pnputil /enum-devices /problem

Does it provide the error codes or descriptions for the devices which have the yellow warning triangle?

Chipset drivers, probably.

Very likely missing the Intel Management Engine driver, among other features.

That’s what it looks like to me.

I did use My Asus and installed them so device manager is ok.
However that was before your very helpful information. Thank you.
All ran well before as you said. I did have trouble finding out which to install at Asus. Is there a knack to knowing which you download to fix each driver icon as there is no indication that?
Thanks again

Just download all of the drivers for your model (preferably a cab if available), extract, then install via devmgr manually (so as to only install the driver and not all the bs software packages).

Generally I would say that installing the chipset driver is important, also the BIOS updates (The last update for your BIOS was 2021) Anything else, Windows will usually take care of. You can usually find drivers in Windows Update, Advanced, Optional Updates.

If you choose to use My Asus and there is a list of the same drivers, just install the latest date offered.

Yes, chipset drivers help Windows to identify them, so it can download drivers for them.

FreeBooter Your post with video was excellent however hard as I tried it was too blurry to see. However the idea was great..
I wish I could have seen what you did so I could have learned.
Armoury Crate was too hard for my level but My ASUS did finally allow me to fix device manger so all entries are ok.
I still have to guess to find the appropriate driver.
@TairikuOkami -thank you for chipping in.

I already fixed the device manager but will remember your string + thank you.

Hi @Maranna,

Have you changed the video resolution to 1080p from video settings?
