How to Identify an Unknown Device in Device Manager

How to Identify an Unknown Device in Device Manager
Have you ever wanted to find the device driver for some hardware that don't work? well I will show you step by step on how to find drivers for unknown devices in Windows 10 and Windows 11. You can also use this fool proof method on any other version of Windows. The hardware will not work without a driver and will normally show up in device manager as unknown device or it will have a yellow exclamation mark device manager. This means you have driver problems in the Windows. Its a very common computer problem that people face on a daily basis.

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.

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!!!

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:
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.
