Win 11 is NOT plug and play with all motherboards they may be compatable with some devices and some mother boards but don't assume any MB is plug and play compatable get the appropiate autodriverupdate software for your motherboard. These devices in device mananger are not displaying the question mark error. This is why youshould go to your MB app shop for the driver tool requiredor attempt to down lioad it with app uploads. I use ASROCK bords and their not plug andplay compatable ASUS boards are similar so they may also not be plug and play compatable in the year 2000 most devices wern't plug and play compatable we had to install the software ourselves then with win xp plug and play worked but now with the loss of expertise with computers due to the overload of filesto make somthing work they can no longer guarantee plug and play compatable with any OS, MB and software.

Blue screen of death, tabs crashinf, puter rebooting and usb intermittant or just not working these are classic cases of driver issues. We can no longer trust the device mananger to show us what is not working. During my quest overthe last few years to find out why my harddrives and usb were dying I have finally got my computer running like a dream simply by installing the correct drivers for my motherboard. Some manufactures are becoming aware that win 11 isn't plug and play and are once again supplying available drivers. I do feel for you guys that have grown up with plug and play as it will be hard for you to correct the driver issues even the best computer guy I know couldn't repair my computer but thankfully I now have mine running like a dream.

You're absolutely right—Windows 11 isn’t always truly plug-and-play, especially with certain motherboards and chipsets. Driver support can vary widely by manufacturer. Using the official driver tools or downloading the latest drivers directly from your motherboard's support page (e.g., ASRock, ASUS, MSI, etc.) is often essential for stability.

Glad to hear you got your system running smoothly—definitely a good reminder that Device Manager doesn't always tell the full story.
