Other unknown devices Windows 8
If we talk about the devices that are found in almost every computer, then there are quite a lot of them. But, despite their number, all of them can be viewed in the device manager of your computer. It happens that when viewing devices you may see “Unknown device”. Let's talk about such devices using an example Windows 8 operating system. If you go to the device manager of your computer, and see that some devices are designated as “Unknown devices and are preceded by a question mark and an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle, then this device is not recognized by your computer running the Windows 8 operating system. Also in In the device manager, other devices may appear that are not known to the system.
If other devices unknown to the system have appeared on your computer running Windows 8, then in the device manager on your computer you will most likely see the following.
To get rid of this problem, and more specifically, to make the device work correctly and become known to the system, you can only download the correct drivers for this device. But you can download drivers in different ways.
Since you do not know the name of the device, you can try updating the drivers through Windows Update. To do this, go to this menu and click on the “Search for updates” button. If there are updates, you will be prompted to download them. But it is worth noting that in most cases this menu is set to automatically update the system.
If this method did not help you, then you can do the following. In Device Manager, open the Other Devices tab and right-click on the unknown device and select "<font><font>Materials</font></font>". A new window will open in which you need to select the item "Intelligence". Here you need to find the words VEN and DEV. The data that is located after these words needs to be written down.
After this you can use the site http://pcidatabase.com/. On this site, you will need to enter data in two windows: in the Vendor Search window - the data after the word VEN, and in the Device Search window, enter the data after the word DEV. After that, all you have to do is click the search button.
After this, you will receive a result, which will be your unknown device. Now you can go to the website of the manufacturer of this device and download the necessary drivers for its correct operation. After installing the drivers, be sure to run reboot the operating system. If other unknown devices have appeared on your computer running Windows 8, then getting rid of them is not so difficult.
