Driver for PCI Simple communication Controller (Win-10 fresh install)

[Richard__Jones]

Just installed Windows-10 Home (20H2) on wife's Pavilion onto a new SSD

Device Manager is showing the PCI Simple communication Controller isn't configured, missing it's driver, I've seen similar posts but not for the p229sa, some using older Win-7 drivers. Is there a driver available I could install?

Other info if req'd

  Device PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9CBA&SUBSYS_2293103C&REV_03\3&11583659&0&B0 requires further installation.

Problem status:
There are no compatible drivers available for this device.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction, the laptop seems fine, I just don't like exclamation marks next to devices!

Hi, Richard:

I don't see the driver you need on any of the 15-p### support pages.

You need this driver for that device...

This package provides the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver for the supported notebook models and operating systems. The Intel Management Engine Interface enables communication between the host operating system and the Intel Management Engine firmware.

Here is a partial copy and paste of the driver setup information file which shows driver support for the hardware ID you posted...

Thanks very much for the very speedy reply Paul, I'll give it a go when my wife's off the machine next.

I must say of the various forums/communities I frequent, this one does seem very good.

You're very welcome.
