PCI Device, PCI Simple Communications Controller, SM Bus Controller device drivers are not installed

I have recently upgraded my HP 350 G2 laptop by installing a new Kingston 250GB SSD as the boot drive. Upon the initial boot, I proceeded to install Windows 10 Pro 22H2 v.10.0.19045 build. However, upon checking the Device Manager, I noticed that under the 'Other Devices' tab, the PCI Device, PCI Simple Communications Controller, and SM Bus Controller were not recognized, indicated by a yellow exclamation mark⚠. Despite my attempts to update and uninstall these controllers (3), the issue persists with no resolution. I don't know where to find these drivers. I don't know if these missing drivers are the cause of freezing and lagging of Windows and other Applications.

I have explored Windows Update, Intel Driver Support & Assistant, and HP Support Assistant, all of which indicate that my system is "up to date." Unfortunately, I am unable to locate the required compatible drivers for the aforementioned controllers. Any guidance on where to find these drivers would be greatly appreciated.
I hope this query will raise. Thanks you all guys.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Please do this for each of those devices:

    Right click the device and select Properties

    On the resulting dialog, select the Details Tab

    Set the Properties drop-down menu to Hardware IDs

    Right click the top item in the resulting list and select Copy

    Please paste that into your next reply.

    The PCI Device is the Realtek Card Reader

    The PCI Simple Communications Controller: and SM Bus Controller are the Intel Chipset

    You should go to the support page for your PC on the manufacturers website, then manually download and re-install the Realtek Card Reader and Intel Chipset drivers from there, rather than using any automatic updating process.
