    I have a linux only computer that I need to dual boot with Windows on a separate hard drive. I have created a bootable USB from a W10 ISO file. I am getting the error "A media driver your computer needs is missing" when I boot to the USB and click the "Install Now" button. How do I get past this and install Windows 10?What I have tried:Creating bootable USB on a different device.Updated motherboard firmware.Ensure SATA is set to AHCI.I've read if you change the USB port being used, it can help this situation. But no luck.I have read that I need to update my motherboard drivers, but my motherbo

  3. Hp Envy Driver missing

    Hi Mohsin,

    • Are you referring the missing driver as the High Definition Audio device
      with a yellow mark in the screenshot?

    This issue could have happened due to corrupted driver files. Let's try reinstalling the driver and check if the driver can be recovered. Follow the below steps to re-install the driver.

    • As you are already on the device manager, right-click on High Definition Audio device, and select
      Uninstall.
    • Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

    If the issue still persist, I suggest you to run the hardware troubleshooter and check if the issue is resolved. Follow the below steps to run the Hardware troubleshooter;

    • Type troubleshooting in the search tool.
    • Click on Troubleshooting tab.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
    • Select the Hardware and
      Device options from the list.
    • Click Next to run the Hardware
      and Device Troubleshooter.

    Let us know if you need further assistance, we will be glad to help you.

    Athlon 200GE on Asrock A320M-HD - Driver is missing in Windows install

    When trying to install Windows 10 using a USB pen drive, I get the following message:


    Can't resolve "A media driver your computer needs is missing" when attempting to install... hjzU3.png


    I already tried many suggestion described on Microsoft forums and on SuperUser as well, here and here, like:

    • use only USB 2.0 pen drives
    • use only USB 2.0 ports
    • cancel the error, return to the initial screen, change USB port of the pen drive and try again
    • create the pen drive using different tools
    • downloaded the ISO at least 4 times from Microsoft and re-created the pendrives, to ensure that it isn't corrupted
    • copied all drivers from the motherboard to another pen drive and forced Windows Install to find them. But even after it finds them, browsing one by one (by hand), it doesn't continue and the error persist

    Now I'm testing with another pen drive and I will post here the results.

    Update about installing the SATA driver:

    I have tried it again but, as the results from previous attempts, even installing all the drivers that come from the "SATA" driver, after it the error persist and I can't proceeed with the installation.

    The error message is: No new device driver found. Verify that the installation media contains the correct drivers and click OK.
