device manager

Other devices - PCI and SM bus
There seems to be a device without drivers and Windows 11 cannot install the drivers.


Included in the clean installation was an Asus utility[motherboard) I never saw before so I x'd it out. I read about it and it could be shady. How can I find the device I need to get the drivers for without installing that Asus utility-even if I could find it.?

Usually, when you have one weird driver missing... it's probably part of the chipset driver.

I'll try and thanks

I don't know anything about Intel chipset drivers, but I would look here in Device Manager...

Thanks but tried all -yours were not listed they were the ones needing drivers.

Back in May 2020 I had an "Other Devices" driver missing.
This was on a brand new build with the latest drivers (the build in my specs).
After a few phone calls... to ASUS and then to AMD... someone said "get the latest AMD chipset driver", which I did...
and it solved the problem.

I seem to remember telling ASUS... why don't you include the driver(s) necessary for a new motherboard, to take care of all the motherboard driver issues in Device manager?
I was kind of upset... a $300+ ASUS board with the latest AMD chipset, and the drivers that came with the board and/or the ones on the website, didn't take care of the problem.

After a few phone calls back and forth, I finally got an email with a link to the AMD chipset driver page, which solved the problem.




Your issue may be sort of the opposite. A motherboard with an "older" chipset, needing a chipset driver that supports Windows 11. I wish I could be more help, but I've been on AMD boards for the past 20 years.

Use the procedure in my ditty - search for drivers by HardwareID - TenForums

Hi Ghot,

Would this link be different from the link they emailed you?

https://www.amd.com/en/support

If it's different, can you share that link?

Thanks!
