Windows 10: What is Unknown Driver? Should I be worried?

Hello on my Windows 10 Computer Management it says “Other Devices” and when I click it it says “Unknown Device”. In properties under details it says “Device ACPI\SMB0001\3&11583659&1 requires further installation.” I have no idea what this is. Ive been using a chatroom website lately called Tinychat where you talk on webcam to strangers could this be some sort of hack on my computer? What is this unknown device and how do I find out? Im worried

Thank you
