Ijust did a fresh install of Windows 11 22H2 on an HP HP ZBook Fury 16 G9 Mobile Workstation PC. I am coming up with three missing devices in Device Manager, and for the life of me cannot figure out what needs to be installed to get this laptop setup completed. Attached are the devices in question.

There are two separate driver folders in that file. One installs the Intel Management Engine Interface (PCI Simple Comms) and the other folder installs the PCI serial port (Intel Active Management Technology-SOL device).


I've got an issue with the wifi on the device listed above. This has been happening on and off throughout the time I've owned the laptop. Before digging into it I initially believed it was my router but I decided to do a test and put another computer I have (coincidentally also an 8260 device) on wifi instead of hardwire. Only the laptop dropped connection and my phones, etc stay connected so I think it's isolated to this device.


I began to pay attention to the issue more and noticed that when this happened, the system would no longer show the adapter installed. I would need to reset the entire computer to get it back. Things improved DRASTICALLY with the 19.50 version of the driver. This is the only version of the driver that allows the system to recover a connection but the wifi adapter does appear to cycle either through connection or power or something.


When i installed the 19.60 driver, once the wifi adapter has whatever issue it has, it simply shuts off until I restart. It also caused the system to hang during the restart at the "restarting" screen with the circle of spinning dots. I had to roll the driver back to get an acceptable level of operation.


If it helps clarify anything, I don't encounter these performance/reliability issues when using Miracast specifically. They will occur during normal browsing and internet usage as well as Miracast. I will try disabling the RSC feature tonight and see if it makes a difference. I remember coming across that article earlier and may have tried it before.

I've not had any shutdowns but I've also not had a lot of traffic across the system either. Despite the fact that it's working I've got this disease called "engineer" and I have to figure out if it's driver dependent and/or what specific feature so i'm going to go down the rabbit hole a bit.


Thanks for following up. I've been quite busy and haven't had time to formalize any tests (best laid plans...). I've had the failure occur twice since then but I was abusing my connection quite heavily (iSCSI, VNC, SMB file sharing). Nonetheless, the changes you suggested made a great improvement.

For me, the moment that things started to work was after I got rid of Citrix Receiver and then also made sure I'd fully Uninstalled all versions of ASMedia drivers first (confirming they were fully gone) and then reinstalling.


So I have uninstalled the ASMedia USB Host Controller driver completely run the HP SoftPaq Manager and installed the latest ASMedia Driver. What confuses me is that in the devicemanager it lists a different driver than in the HP SP Manager.


Running recommended driver versions, screen flashing was resolved UNTIL attaching a third display to the dock. 2 DisplayPort to DVI and one VGA. The screen flashing with three connected returned on one or all monitors, seemingly randomly. It also occurred IN BIOS/DRIVELOCK! Not driver related at all. This is running 1.09 on a ZBook 17 G3.


I was able to completely resolve the issue with another workaround. In the BIOS I set the graphics settings from "Auto" to "Discrete", disabling the integrated Intel HD 530 video. Of course, this makes the second work around that we have to put in place on these laptops for them to be functional. Running the Quadro all the time will likely reduce battery life, but for the moment I can swallow that.


I've not run into that issue (I've got a 4K connected via USB-C to DP cable, a 2560x1920 connected via DP, and a 1920x1080 connected via VGA to the dock), but then the first thing I do when I get these laptops is put them in Discrete Graphics mode (easiest way to ensure I've got the NVidia card I paid premium for actually acting as the primary graphics on all my CAD applications).


MLangmayer, i am running a tablet (X2 1012) with the Thunderbolt dock, and you can see the ASMedia USB controllers of the dock listed in my Device manager, as well as the Intel USB Hub entries built-into the Intel chipset


I have run into a problem after wiping and reloading a client's laptop. I am working on a ZBook 15 G2 (F1M37UT). I have wiped and reloaded Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I have been able to install all drivers but one. I am still getting a bang in device manager for PCI serial port.


The device id "8c3d" is Intel Active Management Technology - SOL (COM3). The drivers are serenum.sys and serial.sys files. I think that you need to install chipset driver to install this device. The Intel Chipset Installation Uility for Windows 7 OS is at

I see that in most help forums, the most common advice is to go to device manager and update the driver; In device manager, the Synaptic Touchpad is not listed. I have clicked "View > Show Hidden" to no avail. I have identified the generic "HID Compliant Mouse" driver the the TouchPad is using, but updating that has no change. I have also attempted to install older drivers from the internet, but none have worked. I was able to see all of the drivers provided for my machine on HPs website, and there is a Synaptic driver for the finger print sensor, but no other Synaptic drivers or drivers for the touchpad. Can someone help me locate the driver for the toushpad on this machine?


The touchpad "works" in that I can move the mouse around , but it acts like it always has the left-button pressed. So, when moving the pointer around an empty desktop, it is drawing a box as if I was selecting a group of items. Similarly, when I mouse over a window or menu, it selects the first thing it touches. This is almost like "ClickLock" is turned on permanently (it is not).


A swiss security auditing company discovered a keylogger in HPs audio driver. The driver is published by Conexant and logs all keystrokes in a session to: C:\Users\Public\MicTray.log. It recommends checking if C:\Windows\System32\MicTray.exe exists. Perhaps most troubling is that this driver gets pushed via Windows Updates.


So while the driver does technically read all keystrokes, it is not actually supposed save any of them to any file except under specific circumstances. The file is blank intentionally, and used for the sake of diagnostic debugging only, supposedly. The purpose being that many HP notebooks use this for microphone, volume, and even recording LED controls all built into the driver, and the driver needs to know if any of the applicable special keys or key combinations are pressed. The capability to read and write all keystrokes is supposedly a debugging and diagnostic feature only, that can only be called if the driver is placed into diagnostic or debugging mode. The driver file mentioned is designed to be automatically rewritten blank on every restart.


The newest version or two of the driver however, does apparently write the keystrokes more liberally, and drops the output of keystrokes in an insecure API if the file is locked or deleted, which is a far greater problem to me, although all of those issues would require someone accessing the computer directly to make use of the information. Apparently, the functionality of capturing keystrokes is also extremely common, but outputting the data to a file for diagnostic or debugging purposes is new and (I concur) may not be a particularly wise implementation if the keystroke data is written anywhere except when in debug mode.


I agree with @dwhipps about it being an oversight, and that there are far better ways to capture special keystrokes without saving every keystroke to a file that only clears upon logoff. Although the motive was likely not malicious, it could easily be captured and exploited by other malware with a telemetry component. An expedited resolution should be in the works based on how popular this is becoming.


Hello TAHIN, thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. @Big Green Man, thank you your tag and question. We are checking into this and hope to report back son with an update that can be shared publicly.
