Device Manager Yellow Flags

I have a bunch of yellow flags in my Device Manage under Other Devices. Things like Network Controller, PCI Devices, Raid Controller, SM Bus Controller, and USB Controller all have yellow flags. How and where can I get updated drivers for these? Updating them by automatic search or Windows Update does not update them.

Have you downloaded the available updates from the ASUS support site? Some of the categories can be expanded to show more downloads in case you missed something.
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station…

I don`t know which drivers I need. I tried the Chipset and LAN drivers. They did not help with those devices with the flags. I do not want to download a bunch of drivers I don`t need. Wish I knew which ones are needed.

I know with my Z690 Hero Maximus I had to install the SATA drivers to get rid of the dreaded yellow exclamation points from Device Manager.

If the motherboard in your specs list is accurate... Then these are the drivers for that motherboard... Download all the latest and install.... If you have other peripherals(printer,monitor,mouse etc) then will need to download the drivers for those as well.

Either you download all the relevant driver for your board or you look through driver page provided by fellow member MoKiChU driver page over at Z690 sub forum which is here.
