Hi:

 

You need these drivers...

 

SM Bus Controller

USB COntroller

 

Download and install the first driver on the list from the link below...

 

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows%207%20-%2064

 

Graphics:  See if this one works...1st driver on the list...

 

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%207%20-%2064

 

BCM43142A0:

 

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp73001-73500/sp73091.exe

 

Ethernet Controller:

 

This package provides the Realtek Local Area Network (LAN) Driver that enables the Realtek Network Interface Card (NIC) Chip in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.

 

File name: sp72119.exe

 

Network Controller:

 

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp72501-73000/sp72879.exe

 

The unknown device may need this driver.  If that doesn't work, please post the hardware ID for the unknown device.

 

This package provides HP 3D DriveGuard Software (HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection) for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. HP 3D DriveGuard Software protects the hard drive by parking the heads if the notebook is accidentally dropped, or is abruptly impacted by another object.

 

File name: sp71811.exe

 

To find the hardware ID, click on the Unknown Device in the device manager.

 

Then click on the Details tab at the top of the unknown device window.

 

Now you will see a Property drop down list and it will be set to Device Description.

 

Drop down on that list and select the 2nd item (Hardware ID's).

 

Post the top string of characters that you see in the window.

Hi

 

I think you have a

 
HP Notebook - 15-af143au

 

which is listed for Windows 10 only. 

 

So can you confirm the make and model please.

 

Also what Operating System did it come with?

 

Driver Link for W10 below

You're very welcome.

 

You need this driver for the : ACPI\SMB0001.

 

This package provides the driver that enables the Synaptics TouchPad in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. The driver enables general touchpad functionality (for example double-tap and scroll) and provides a user interface.

 

File name: sp72088.exe

 

See if this version of the bluetooth driver (BCM43142A0) works instead.

 

This package contains the Broadcom Bluetooth driver and software for supported models that are running a supported operating system. Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 Driver is required to enable Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 devices and is compatible with Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 and earlier versions.

 

File name: sp71440.exe
