Driver for Detection verification

[Anderson2244]

My device manager shows that "Other Devices/Detection Verification" has no device installed. Update device cannot find a driver. One answer in the forum said:

Between the Intel Chipset Installation Utility and Driver and the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver, one of these driver setups unzipped an appropriate driver somewhere on c:\swsetup. I was able to manually install the driver from one of that folder's subfolders after running the above mentioned driver package setups.

I installed both the Intel Chipset Installation Utility and Driver and the Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver, but still could not faind a driver for Detection Verification.

My questions

1. What does Detection Verification do?

2. Do I need it at all>

3. Where do I download its driver if I need it.

Thanks.

Thank you very much. You solved it.

Yes, I had replaced the hdd with a ssd from another W10 laptop.

I updated the bios, chipset drivers, and audio drivers and the problem disappeared. Bravo!

2 questions if I may:

1. What was that Detection verification that needed a driver? I can not longer find it in Device Manager which no longer has any yellow exclamation marks.

2. I have a problem with the touchpad being too sensitive. Even a light touch makes the cursor jump away. Which touchpad setting do I need to change? The current driver is for the Synaptics SMBus ClickPad which I obtained from your driver support website.

Thanks.

@Anderson2244, thanks for your prompt response and time.

I appreciate your efforts for writing back to us.

I'm glad to know after updating the BIOS, audio and chipset drivers solved your issue.

Also, to answer your other question it was the chipset driver which needed to be installed on your PC.

To solve the touchpad issue try the steps recommended below.

Right-click on ‘My Computer’ and then select ‘Properties’ in the context menu. This opens ‘System Properties’ dialog box.
Click on the ‘Hardware’ tab and then on the ‘Device Manager’. Here you will find an entry titled ‘Mice and other pointing devices’ in the ‘Device Manager’ window. When you double-click on this entry, it shows the touchpad as a PS/2 Compatible Mouse.
Right-click on this entry to go to the properties of the touchpad, select ‘Advanced Settings’, and then click on ‘Sample Rate’. You can reduce the degree of sensitivity here.
Follow this tip and you can solve the ‘jumping cursor’ problem easily.

The Sensitivity options allow you to adjust the responsiveness of the TouchPad to the pressure of your touch. Click to highlight Sensitivity.

Figure : Sensitivity on the properties page

Clicking the Settings icon  opens a window that allows you to control how much finger pressure must be applied before the TouchPad responds.
