Windows 10: How to find device names for which driver updates are meant for?

I have couple driver updates. But I can't find (for what devices they are exactly meant for) by their names. Any way how to find out? If I only knew their Hardware IDs, or if it showed proper names! I use Sledgehammer and WuMgr for updates. And in Device Manager I have only 3 yellow devices, so looking there won't help! I asked Intel about these, but they didn't answered me. I suppose there must be a way to find out, for which devices these drivers are exactly meant for...

Thanks.

Hi Luke,

We suggest that you update the device driver. You can do that by following these steps:

  Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and select
  it from the list of results.
  
• 
  Expand the category where your device is located, then right-click on the name of your device, and select Update Driver Software.
  
• 
  Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
  

If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

If updating the device driver doesn't work, we suggest that you reinstall the driver:

• 
  Open Device Manager.
  
• 
  Right-click on the name of the device.
  
• 
  Select Uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
  

Let us know how it goes.
