    Suspicious Kernal PnP Entries under Device Manager Event Viewer Show Unknown Computer


    I have had issues with being hacked for a while now, and recently found entries under the Device Manager Event Viewer showing Kernel PnP Device Configuration logging to an unknown computer. The name of this computer isn't even close to the name of my computer, and I have no network. This is supposed to be a standalone computer.If at all helpful, the name of the mystery computer is WIN-5LK6AOFV3DSDoes anyone have a non-malicious explanation for what this mystery computer could be? Or, does anyone have a suggestion for how best to investigate what this computer is who owns it

    :)

  2. X800 GTO2 = Unknown Device

    I flashed the BIOS on my X800 GTO2 last night and it is listed in the Device Manager as an Unknown Device. Is this normal?

  3. Network devices listed under Unknown in Device Manager


    I have a Dell Inspiron M731R laptop upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Home 64-Bit that suddenly quit connecting to the home network. Was using wireless, so switched to an Ethernet cable, but still no luck. I just discovered that ALL of the network-related devices are now listed under an "Unknown" tab in the Device Manager. A check of properties of each item in that folder says they are all working properly, but that obviously isn't the case. I tried uninstalling each of the 4 items, but when they are recognized again they still show up under the Unknown tab. Any suggestions would be welcome.

    DVD Drive shows as "Unknown device" in Device Manager

    Can you do the following:

    Open the Device Manager and right-click the "Unknown" device > Update Driver Software > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

    What is listed under Model (with "Show compatible hardware" "checked") ?
