Windows 10: Windows 11 device management driver errors

Hi I am experiencing some missing drivers in my newly built PC. I am seeing for PCI device errors on the device manager under the other devices. And besides that, I also have two more errors, and I cannot identify the drivers.My motherboard is ROG Strix, Z790–E. And I can’t seem to find the reason why I cannot add photos in this text.

Error Code12 for Synaptics SMBus driver in Device Manager

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you receive, “This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)” error for Synaptics SMBus Driver in Device Manager. I’ll help you with this issue.



However, please let us know:

• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer currently? To check type:
  winver in search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

The error (Code 12) can occur if two devices that are installed on your computer have been assigned the same I/O ports, the same interrupt, or the same Direct Memory Access channel (either by the BIOS, the operating system, or both). This error message
can also appear if the BIOS did not allocate enough resources to the device.



As you have already tried removing, uninstalling and updating the driver, I would suggest you to try checking for any hidden devices, remove them and check if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:



Before proceeding with the steps, I suggest you to
Create a system restore point.

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Click on View and select
   Show hidden devices.
   
3. Expand Mouse and check if there is any
   hidden device.
   
4. If there is any hidden device, right click on it and select
   Uninstall device.
   

You can also try removing Motherboard resources from Device Manager, and check if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Click on View and select
   Show hidden devices.
   
3. Expand System Devices, locate Motherboard resources devices, right click on each of them and select Uninstall Device.
   
   Note: If you can’t locate them, try with “PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge” or simply uninstall “PCI Bus”.
   
4. Your PC might freeze after uninstalling the devices, at this moment, hold the power button of your PC to switch off the computer and then switch it on.
