Windows 10: PCI Simple Communications controller in Device Manager

I have just recently installed a clean up to date copy of Windows 10 using the creation tool. I booted my laptop from a flash drive and everything has gone well. The updates have all been installed and I have the Windows 10 20H2 platform all updated too.

In my Device Manager though there is a yellow hazard board with an exclamation mark on it.



I have right clicked on the Simple Communications and tried to update driver etc etc but to no avail. I believe it is to do my intel graphics. I downloaded the intel assistant and it gave me a in depth summary of my Asus K54C laptop but didn't have anything to offer. Can anybody tell me if this solvable, or nothing to worry about? Thank you. Jim

PCI simple communications controller driver not found.


I'm trying to figure out what this PCI simple communications controller is and where can I download the driver for it. I've tried updating it from the device manager, but it tells me driver could not be found and a yellow exclamation icon appears in the device manager. If someone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also this is after doing a clean install of windows 10.

Z87 or Z97 Motherboard? I had this and it was the intel management engine driver!

PCI simple communication controller nowadays on an Intel system is code for the "Intel Management Engine"

What is the Computer Make and Model / Laptop or Desktop and how old.

Some older computer will run into problems with this if they were meant for Windows XP / Vista and have been upgraded to Win 7 or 10 as there may not be any supporting Drivers to suit the PCI Simple Comms Driver.

That being said read on.

With lack of information i can only guess / speculate as to what problem this is.

This could relate to a Integrated Intel Chip-set in regards to a PCI Simple Comms On-Board Device or Chipset on the Mother Board or even a Device that you have added to a PCI Slot just recently.

• Go to the Manufactures Web Site ( Service and Support ) and Download the appropriate PCI Simple Communications Device Driver for your Make / Model of computer.
• If its a New Device that you have added to a Spare PCI Slot then you may have to install the appropriate Driver for that Device from the Manufactures Support Site or a installation Disk that was supplied with it.
