Please share link windows 11 driver

For fix 3 you should click view and then show hidden devices before uninstalling. Some of the broken drivers may be invisible if you don't do that first.

I had a code 38 issue. Searched everywhere. Nothing worked. But then found this. Disabled fast startup. Seems like it fixed the issue of not recognizing my external storage devices. Thanks a lot. 🙏🙏🙏

I have a usb audio device that the manufacturer says it should auto install native USB 1 drivers. It shows up as unknown device on my main desktop and laptop. Green light on the device means its powered on and windows knows something is there but it refuses to detect or find drivers. Manufacturer wont help. What can i do?

Mines related to the power sleep deal except its on a windows tablet which only is able to run with the keyboard docking station that has the internal battery inside which is what the tablet runs off of. It sees the battery but the keyboard will not function nor the little mouse pad until i disable then enable the usb hub. I have to do this every startup to get keyboard and mouse to work. All other usb ports work fine.. it was a pain to actually get the thing to run off of the secondary battery and messing with boot is sketchy.. dunno why the internal primary battery wonr work.. got new for both but if i have both in than will not boot.. unplug the primary and everything works.. unplug secondary and onlt have primary in than wont display the charge status but will run off of primary only until it goes to sleep then it shuts down and windows wont boot again without removing the primary first.. is odd as hell. Is a venue11.. crappy tablet but really awesome with emulators on it for auto diagnostics because other auto diag tablets cost thousands and are dedicated with crap memory and processing..
