However, there is an odd situation in which an Unknown Device shows up in the Device Manager. It is a device that Windows isn’t able to identify, and therefore can’t find a driver for it. In the vast majority of such cases, it will render your device useless. You can see that a device has been marked as Unknown by the yellow exclamation mark in front of the name.
If you find yourself in a situation where you have a device that Windows doesn’t want to identify, there is, fortunately, a way for you to manually find the driver and install it yourself. After doing this, you will be able to use the device the way it was intended to be used.
Find the device driver using the Hardware ID
Having an unknown device pop up in the Device Manager can scare you, but it is nothing more than Windows not recognizing a device. Sometimes a simple reboot can solve this, but you’re far better off by installing the drivers yourself, as this will ensure that you don’t get the error again. Just follow the instructions mentioned above and you will have your device up and running in no time.
