Hyper V 2019 Server -- over 100 critical drivers

Motherboard: MBD-X11SDV-4C-TP8F
O.S.: Hyper V Server 2019 (fresh install, twice)

I have tried to install the drivers, but it tells me "this location doesn't seem to contain any drivers." This isn't anything fancy, this is a standard server motherboard with mostly Intel stuff. The only drivers I was successful in loading were for the RAID (to install the OS) and an update to Intel's NIC drivers from 2021.

Anyone else have a similar issue? Windows Update also does not find any. This example is for a memory controller. There are a lot of critical driver issues being reported. No idea how to resolve or what effect this will have. Device Management is unfortunately overly complicated with Hyper V Server (Core).

    Hi,

    From the shared screenshots, it seems a Base System Device error. The error occurs if the drivers for hardware on your computer is not installed correctly. These drivers are related to the motherboard, processor, and other chipsets.

    To fix the error, you can try to install the latest drivers for it.

    1. Find your motherboard manufacturer
    2. Visit the official manufacturer website to download the latest drivers (card reader, chipset, USB and any other drivers that are available) and install them all.
    3. Restart the server after installation is complete.

    You can check here and with hardware manufacturer about support for the hardware you're trying to use.
