Windows 10 Device Manager System Firmware Error

Question

Recently, I have been experiencing some issues with high disk usage. I opened device manager to check if any drivers were outdated. To my surprise, there was a bang next to system firmware 1.0.8. When I told windows to update the driver, it told me that the best drivers for my device are already installed.

Answer 1

What is the make and model of the computer?

Have you checked the manufacturers website for updates?

Thank you! I installed the chipset driver that you provided but I am not sure what to do with the hardware ID. It seems that if you linked me the correct driver, there would be no need for a hardware ID.

Answer 5

To my surprise, there was a bang next to system firmware 1.0.8.

I assume you mean there is a yellow exclamation next to the device. The instructions to retrieve the hardware ID string will help me to find the driver for you.

The instructions show you how to do that.
