These three items show up in device manger without drivers. I have loaded all devices that I have found drivers for, but these remain unfound. Can anyone id what drivers I should be looking for? Thanks.

Re: Devices With Unfound Drivers
In device manager, open the properties dialog for each of the devices. On the Details tab, select the Hardware IDs option from the dropdown menu - then list the VEN and DEV info (usually in the format PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502). With that info we can ID the device and point you towards the appropriate driver.
Sometimes Windows Update will ID the devices and provide a functional driver for them as well when it checks for/installs updates as well.

It's Intel Management Engine stuff. You can usually get it through Lenovo System Update.

Re: Devices With Unfound Drivers
Has anyone gotten this (unfamiliar) program to work with Windows 10? On several Thinikpads and my desktop, it just comes up with an empty window and sits there.RealBlackStuff wrote:This program might help: Unknown Device Identifier v9.01.

I took another Thinkpad, my W500, and when installing as Admin and running as Admin it actually worked.RealBlackStuff wrote:Tried running it as Admin?
But for the two unknown devices: on the first one the query sent to Google exceeded Google's 32 character limit.
On the second one, repetitively, Google would show a page of hits and then immediately return to the empty Google home screen. I couldn't interrupt that process.
Oh well - sounded like a good idea but clearly the program needs some development work.
