1. Find the device driver using the Hardware ID Open Device Manager by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard and typing Device Manager, then open the result. You will be presented with a list of devices attached to your system, and you will notice the Unknown Device with a yellow exclamation mark.
  2. Hello, can anyone advise on how to find driver (Windows 10), for an unknown device in Sony Vaio laptop SVF1532E4E (or SVF153B1YM). I've tried Windows updates, Sony's website, programs like Driver Booster or Driver Update, searching it by the hardware's ID - no luck.
  3. In Device Manager, the device will be listed as unknown device with yellow question mark. In the case of any unidentified, unknown or no-driver installed devices, user can manually download from Internet or use driver CD to install the driver. However, user has to identify and know what’s the unknown device prior to installing correct driver.
  4. To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver. If you click the Update Driver button and then choose Search automatically for updated driver software you may find something but in my experience this has NEVER worked.

Yesterday I reinstalled Windows on a laptop for one of our users at work. When the installation was complete, I popped in the driver CD to begin the process of installing the drivers that Windows didn’t install. For some reason the CD only contained two of the eight drivers that I needed. Normally, tracking down the right driver can be a huge annoyance, especially when your devices are showing up with generic names like PCI Device, Video Controller, System Device, or Unknown Device. But with the help of a little utility, I was able to find all of the drivers that I needed saving me lots of time and frustration.

The device does not have a device driver: When a device driver for a device is not available, Device Manager displays the device as Unknown Device and puts it in the Other devices branch. This is very common with universal serial bus (USB) and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE) 1394 composite devices.

This little utility is called Unknown Devices and it works with Windows 95, 98, 98se, 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista. It’s also a portable application so it requires no installation.

When you run it, Unknown Devices immediately lists out all of the devices that Windows cannot find a driver for and tells you what each one is.

In this example I have a modem that I cannot locate the driver for because I don’t know who the manufacturer is.

When I run Unknown Devices, it tells me that the device is made by Context Systems.

I am now able to use this information to download the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer’s website.

If you have experience with other utilities like this or other methods of determining unknown devices, please feel free to share.
