    Device Manager shows "Other devices: Unknown device"


    Windows 10 Pro, Intel i9-12900, 64GB memory, AMD 5700XT,

    Brand new system, brand new install...

    I'm down to ONE problem in the device manager. It says in "Other devices" that that's an "Unknown device".

    In the Details>Hardware Ids, it says
    ACPI\VEN_INT&DEV_1056
    ACPI\INTC1056
    *INTC1056

    Did you install the chipset driver?
    Did try to search for a driver on the CD that came with the MB?

    The Intel Driver and Support Assistant should identify the Intel driver you need:

    Yup, I installed the chipset driver(s). And the Ethernet and wifi, and a couple others.

    I looked on the flash drive that came with the motherboard, but I don't have any way of knowing which driver I haven't installed is the one that's needed. Or, if like the ethernet and wifi problem, whether I'd even be able to find what I needed on the flash drive.

    The Intel Driver and Support Assistant didn't do anything. It said there was no problem. And since I have no idea what product is having the problem, I can't tell it.

    SO, I finally went with the brute force and massive ignorance solution. Went to MSI, into the drivers, and downloaded everything I hadn't put on. And installed 'em. The Rapid Storage Technology blew up and said it couldn't be installed, but one of the OTHER several I blindly shoved on there must have worked, 'cause it's not complaining any more.

    I generally prefer a more targeted approach, but it didn't sound like anybody knew off the top of their head what a "1056" was, and I couldn't find anything on the Internet, so I threw the kitchen sink, an old bathtub, a dog that was walking by, and pretty much whatever I could find in there, and one of 'em worked.

    Thanks for the replies.

    An image I asked about may have helped, but as you said "Went to MSI, into the drivers, and downloaded everything I hadn't put on. And installed 'em". Something was bound to solve the issue

    BTW a lot of people are under the false impression Windows installs all drivers for all hardware. As you found, this is not true

    Peace

    "Intel(R) Serial IO GPIO Host Controller - INTC1056"

    That's why I am surprised the Intel Driver and Support Assistant did not pick it up.
    @GracieAllen,

    If I were you, I would create a folder on a flash drive called Drivers and export your drivers to it:
    Backup and Restore Device Drivers in Windows 10

    The next time you reinstall Windows 10 or 11, and you have an item like that in Device Manager, you can manually install the driver just by right clicking on the item in device manger and pointing the device driver install routine to your Drivers folder on the USB flash drive and it will pick the right driver to install.

    I always do! For each of the PCs, I have a folder that has all the current versions of all the motherboard/system-specific things I installed. And when an update to one comes out, I put that one in there...

    I never thought about it being because Windows wouldn't put SOMETHING on so it could at least install, I just usually figured the mfr might have some different/updated/something versions that were the optimal ones...

    The new desktop had a folder before I had a motherboard, with things like instructions for doing the memory overclocking, and a few other pieces of information specific to the new CPU and so on. All the drivers are in there along with a simple set of instructions that explains the 3-step windows installations 'cause if it's 2 or 3 years before I have to do it again, I'm not gonna remember. 'Course by that time Windows 11 will be what we're all using and it'll have all the info that's missing now, and be missing something new then!

    Thanks for the help.
