The best option is to go to the support page for your PC or Motherboard on the manufacturers website, then from there, download and install the version of Chipset drivers they recommend and while there, if you do not have your drive encrypted with Bitlocker, check for any BIOS update that may need to be installed.

If that does not resolve the problem, if you are using a PC, not a laptop and you are comfortable opening the case of PC, while it is disconnected from mains electricity, disconnect those missing drives, then start your PC, wait a while, shut the PC down and reconnect the drives to test if they are then recognized correctly.

The screenshot shows disk partitions, not missing device drivers. If drivers are missing after the recovery event, use this order to restore them:

Open Device Manager.
- Check for devices with a warning icon or listed as unknown.
- If a device shows Code 28, that means the driver is not installed.
Install drivers in this order from the PC manufacturer’s support site:
- Chipset first
- Graphics
- Wi-Fi/Bluetooth
- Audio
- Touchpad / hotkey drivers
If Windows setup or recovery cannot detect a device driver, copy the driver files to a USB drive and install them manually:
- Connect the USB drive.
- Open Command Prompt.
- Run:
```
     pnputil /add-driver D:\*.inf
```
- Replace D:\ with the USB drive letter.
- Then run:
```
     pnputil /scan-devices
```
In Device Manager, if a device is present but not working, try reinstalling it:
- Right-click the device
- Select Uninstall
- On the menu bar, select Action > Scan for hardware changes
Check Windows for driver and system updates:
- Start > Settings > Windows Update
- Select Check for updates
- Install any available updates
If the crash may have damaged system files, run System File Checker from an elevated Command Prompt:
```
   SFC /scannow
```
Since the system drive shows about 15% free space, keep free space available. Windows and drivers can fail when free space is too low.

If the missing items are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, touchpad, or brightness controls after reinstall/recovery, installing the chipset driver first is the most important step because it helps Windows detect the hardware correctly.
