I have installed all the latest drivers for my motherboard from the Asus website. The problem still persists with many "Base System Devices" listed in the Device manager. I have compared the Device Manager in my new install with the Device manager in my old install (which I still have available on another drive). The devices which are not being recognised correctly are related to the "Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor P family" entries. Please see the attached screenshot with my install on the left and my new install on the right.
Since your system seems to be working fine and the issue is after a clean installation of Windows 11, we would like to confirm if you have contacted Microsoft for support regarding this matter. Also, we found a thread from the Microsoft Support Forum with some recommendations regarding a similar issue.
I have since down graded to a clean installation of Windows 10 with the above latest drivers installed and I still have the "Base System Devices" listed in the Device Manager. It is not a hardware issue as I have been running the same system without the problem for several years now and the issue only appeared after I upgraded the operating system recently. I will try downgrading to the previous version of the chipset driver over the weekend.
We are glad to know that the issue is not present when downgrading the chipset driver. Since the issue seems to be related to the latest Driver available on the Asus Website, the best course of action is to report this problem to Asus support since this is a driver-related issue and can be caused by their driver customizations.
I then tried to install the previous "Intel Chipset Driver" just to make sure and it asked me if I was sure I wanted to downgrade so I cancelled the install. That confirmed my thinking that the latest drivers had been installed. The Intel Driver & Support Assistant also said "No supported driver or software updates are available for your system." So I assumed the chipset drivers were all installed OK.
It is important to mention that motherboard manufacturers provide Chipset drivers. Intel DSA does not provide Chipset Drivers, if the motherboard or system is manufactured by third-party companies, contact the system manufacturer for the latest updates and technical support information.

If you want to optimize the performance and stability of your computer, you need to keep your BIOS and chipset drivers up to date. BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System, and it is the software that controls the communication between your hardware and your operating system. Chipset drivers are the software that enables your motherboard to interact with various components, such as the CPU, RAM, and USB ports. In this article, you will learn how to update BIOS and chipset drivers in the context of hardware diagnostics, and how to choose the best versions for your system.
Updating BIOS and chipset drivers can improve your system's compatibility, security, and efficiency. For example, a new BIOS version may support a newer CPU model, fix a bug, or enhance the boot speed. A new chipset driver may resolve a conflict, increase the data transfer rate, or enable a new feature. However, updating BIOS and chipset drivers is not without risks. If you install the wrong version, or if the process is interrupted by a power outage or a system crash, you may end up with a corrupted or unusable system. Therefore, you should only update BIOS and chipset drivers when necessary, and follow the instructions carefully.
Before you update your BIOS and chipset drivers, you need to check your current versions and compare them with the latest ones available from your manufacturer. To check your BIOS version, you can restart your computer and press the key that displays the BIOS setup menu, such as F2, F10, or Del. Alternatively, you can open the System Information app in Windows 10 or the Command Prompt and type wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion. To check your chipset driver version, you can open the Device Manager in Windows 10 and look for the chipset device under the System Devices category. Right-click on the device and select Properties to view the driver version. You can also use the Intel Driver & Support Assistant or the AMD Driver Auto-detect Tool to scan your system and identify your chipset driver version.
Once you have checked your current BIOS and chipset driver versions, you need to find the best ones for your hardware. The best source for BIOS and chipset drivers is your motherboard manufacturer's website. You can usually find the model name and number of your motherboard on the board itself, or in the System Information app or the Command Prompt. You can also use a third-party tool, such as CPU-Z or Speccy, to identify your motherboard model. Then, visit your motherboard manufacturer's website and look for the support or download section. There, you should be able to find the latest BIOS and chipset driver versions for your specific motherboard model. Make sure to read the release notes and compatibility information before downloading any files.
Updating BIOS drivers is a delicate process that requires caution and attention. It is important to backup your data and create a system restore point before you start. Additionally, all other programs should be closed and no interruptions should occur during the update. Depending on your motherboard model and manufacturer, there are various methods to update BIOS drivers. For example, some motherboard manufacturers provide a Windows-based utility that allows you to update BIOS drivers from within the operating system. You can also use a USB flash drive or a built-in tool for updating BIOS drivers without external media or software. In each case, you need to download the BIOS file from the manufacturer's website and follow the instructions on the screen. The system will flash the new BIOS version and reboot after it is complete.
The bluetooth device suddenly dissapeared from device manager and I can't find a way to solve this problem. This happened while I was using Windows 10. I did a factory reset to windows 8.1 and still the problem remains unsolved.Also one of the USB contollers is not working (showing a yellow caution symbol). A code 43 error is displayed when i check the properties of this unknown USB device. Here's a screenshot of my device manager. Please help!
I had the same thing happen just now on my Spectre 13" X360. Missing Bluetooth and error with an "unidentifiable" USB device. After following the advice to update/re-install the various drivers for chipset, WLAN, BT, and updated my BIOS, nothing had changed.
It's been a while since this problem showed, up, went away and came back - however, I did fix it. It turned out to be the Windows driver for the Intel chipset didn't work. I uninstalled that and got the correct driver directly from Intel. That fixed the problem. Not just on one Spectre X360, but also the one my wife uses. Although my machine had other problems, bad MOBO, that were corrected with warranty work, the BT was fixed with the proper drivers from Intel directly. Hope this helps.
Been two days since my device manager doesn't recognize any AMD Driver, it only appears INTEL HD Family Graphics. I've had tried everything, clean install, actualize BIOS (double checked compatibility), actualize drivers. Format pc, nothing. I have a Dell Inspiron15R 5537 Intel Core i7 with AMD HD 8850M Graphic card (now gone).Please help I have tried the Cleanup utility AMD program, I've tried the old Driver with the Catalyst controller (In previous issues Catalyst was my salvation). Now it doesn't even show up in the device manager and don't get me started with the ADRENALIN 2020 CONTROLLER/ Drivers. #AMDIsAabandoningCustomers #windows10
Tried that today, I thought that was it because finally a amd driver showed up (the wrong one though R9 AMD something) then it went all the same. Doubt Dell will have any solution, they doesn't even know whats the lattest BIOS, they have two separate diagnostics one telling you A12 is the lattest and the other one saying A10 is the lattest
You are not experiencing any BIOS problems. If you can enable Windows Device Manager to see the GPU, then you can already fix this problem yourself with an appropriate driver. Do not forget to run DDU before installing the display driver. They have already told you what is needed.
Done that, I am not experiencing any BIOS problems but is crucial to have the lattest BIOS acording to any forum or support regarding this issue. The Device Manager is already enabled, or don't know what you mean by enable it. The appropiate driver won't install, won't work; the one in the DELL support page (with the exact model) nor the one in the AMD official page, both drivers won't install. In my original thread I go into detail about all the things I've done including DDU before installing the display driver, it won't work.
Actually, it might seem like updating the BIOS can fix this problem. But I think it doesn't. Because every available BIOS needs to see the GPU. So there is an OS or hardware error. Try new Win installation to make sure there is no OS error. If the result does not change, contact the laptop service.
Now it does detect the GPU but the wrong one Radeon R9 2000X, this wrong detection brings great inestability to the system, so Windows disables and hide the Driver. Then Windows change it to Microsoft Basic adapter. I have tried doing the process with the DDU, cleanup AMD, updating Intel drivers before installing AMD ones, nothing works. Have reinstalled Windows clean, had to install all my software again and again, and still it is a great mess. And all this problems started with the Windows 10 recent updates, I mean, there was inestability before but I managed to control it with the catalyst drivers. AMD Adrenalin 2020 the controller that according to AMD is complatible, just freezes my laptop.
