I Recently installed Windows 10 on an HP dv5-1159 for my friend. Everything works flawlessly except there is a single Yellow bang (device unkown) in dev manager. I foud a driver a couple of days back for ''HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection" from a guy named "Banheim" which seemed to satisfy it, but then came the dreaded 'October Update' which apparently blew it away (yelllow bang is now back). I was wondering if anyone can find the driver as I can't. The Hardware ID is:
ACPI\VEN_HPQ&DEV_0004
ACPI\HPQ0004
*HPQ0004
..any help would be appreciated! - Thanks!

Windows 10 was smart enough to handle that. As it turns out I was able to locate the driver again (took a couple of days). Driver for HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection is the sp58423:
