    Hello there,

    Can you find the driver in device manager or in the Hidden drivers in device manager ? As the driver has been installed successfully it must the WMI that is not fetching the driver details.

    You can also try to reset the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Repository.

    Please follow the steps from this thread https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/msinfo32exe-system-information-not-working-error/ddc9c6ef-1832-42ee-a768-9878c81f196c

    Also try Registering the WMI Components, Open an elevated Command Prompt and run the following commands one by one:

    cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem

    for %i in (*.dll) do regsvr32 -s %i

    for %i in (*.exe) do %i /regserver

    The WMI components should be re-registered now. Type EXIT to close the Command Prompt window
