Hello,
I am working on imaging a laptop for one of my organizations executives and no matter what I do, I cannot seem to find and update a PCI Simple Communication Controller Driver, and or an unknow device.
Does anyone know where I can find the drivers to fix these 2 devices?

Hi:
You need this driver for the PCI simple communications controller:
Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver
For the unknown device, please post the hardware ID for it so I can figure out what driver it needs.

The driver you posted worked for the PCI Simple Communication issue, but the guide you posted allowed me to find the correct driver for the unknown device.
Your instructions pointed me in the correct direction to fix all my driver issues.
Thank you again
