Problem shown on computer icon "devices and Printers" Windows 7

In "devices and Printers" on my desktop the computer icon shows the triangular problem sign. When using "troubleshooting" the " no solution comes up". Should I ignore it- everything seems to be working OK? Other action?  Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for posting your issue on Microsoft Community Forums.
 
Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?
 
Yellow triangle indicates that you do not have all the related drivers or program installed. You need to update the drivers for the devices those have yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. Click on the yellow triangle on the computer icon, to see the devices that need drivers.
 
Method 1:
Open the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter
 
Method 2:
You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps.
a. Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.‌
b. In the list of hardware categories, find the device that you want to update, and then double-click the device name.
c. Click the Driver tab, click Update Driver, and then follow the instructions. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

If this does not work, then you will have to download the drivers for the device from the manufacturers website.
 
Hope this helps.
