General Computer Support / (SOLVED) Windows 10 "Device xxx requires further installation"

« on: September 03, 2015, 08:14:27 am »

I've been dealing with "Device such and such requires further installation" for some time now on my Win 10 laptop, although I hadn't realized it until recently. The message shows up when the Events tab is selected for a driver in Driver Manager. In my case, at least several drivers are affected, including the display adapter, network, and audio devices. Curiously, the device associated with the driver appears to function properly. However, after migrating from Win 8.1 to Win 10, the Linux Mint installation I had running in a VMWare virtual machine stopped recognizing a network connection (which prompted my looking at the driver events). I've tried all sorts of deletion and re-installation without any effect whatsoever. Running Tweaking.com (absolutely great software!) didn't seem to help this problem even though it corrected many others. Any ideas for solving this problem (if in fact it is a problem!) will be greatly appreciated.
