Windows 10: Weird PCI Device Keeps Appearing in Device Manager

So, I went to device manager to update my AMD drivers and I found this weird PCI device under the 'Other devices' tab. I am pretty sure I didn't have this before and I know that I do not have any malware or virus since I habitually ran virus scans quite often.



That being said, I tried to uninstall the said driver but it keeps on reappearing every time I boot the system. I tried resetting the BIOS by jumping the CMOS but it still reappears. I do not know what this is to be honest since it just sprouted out of nowhere.



Does anyone of you guys have any idea what this is? Should I be worried? If you ask me how my system is going, I do not see any unusual thing. My PC is working as intended, but I can't shake this feeling that this might be something, but am I wrong?

Weird PCI Express port in device manager

I have an oldish i5-3550 on an Asus P8Z77-V motherboard with Z77 chipset. Looking at my device manager, there are several "7 Series PCI Express Root Ports" which look fine, and then a "Xeon E3 v2/3rd Gen PCI Express Root Port" (where my graphics card is attached), which seems odd as I don't have a Xeon processor.

Is that normal? I don't recall ever seeing this in the past.

The Chipset driver is Intel 10.1.1.7 from 16/06/2015. When I try to update it from the properties window, it will go to 10.1.1.13 from 28/10/2015, but still reports with the same name. Also only that "device" updates. Is there a way of updating the whole Chipset inf devices instead of doing it one by one?

Thanks!

 

No hardware listed in Device manager?

I don't konw whathappend but in Device manager and in my Network connections there is nothing where there used to be a Modem listed and all my hardware in Device Manager. What happend and how do I fix this?

 

Device Manager "other" entries

After a fresh W10 1703 fully updated install on a 3148 Inspiron laptop, four OTHER DEVICES appear in Device Manager: PCI Data Aqquisition and Signal Processing Controller and three 'unknown devices.' "Drivers not installed; no compatible driver can be found."

Prior to this install several Intel drivers were listed under Programs and Features. likely because they were added after the fact. They are not listed now and Intel's update utility reports nothing missing. SFC is good and PC operation is normal.

The errant entries are redetected at boot even if disabled, or uninstalled via Safe Mode. Suggestions on banishing them for good would be appreciated.
