Base Device Driver for something I don't have?

So I was looking through device manager, naturally, and I noticed a yellow exclaimation mark on a driver called "Base System Device," I used the DEV and VER numbers to figure out what it was, and it was "Xeon E3-1200 v5/v6 / E3-1500 v5 / 6th/7th/8th Gen Core Processor Gaussian Mixture Model'

I don't exactly know what to do from here, cause I have a I7-10700KF, so what do I do?

Thanks in advance.

Dear JudeKeir,

Base System Device is a technical term for a device like a card reader, the chipset on the motherboard, network devices, and so on. When installing, and reinstalling Windows, you may see list of such Base System Device with yellow exclamation marks or with no driver installed.

 To fix the error related with Base System Device

  1. Install drivers directly from OEM websites

  2. Install drivers using Windows Update

If it does not make trouble to you and your OS works fine, just ignore it :).

First of all, try to start your windows with a clean boot, follow the steps below:

Clean boot (MSCONFIG).

Press the Windows logo key + R
type the command MSCONFIG
and click on the OK button.

In the System Configuration window, click the Services tab.

Click the Hide all Microsoft services option and after that click the Disable all button.

Click on the Programs Startup tab, Open Task Manager and disable all programs and check one by one that they are starting with Windows and perform the check.

Close the Task Manager window.

In the System Settings window, click OK, you will be prompted to restart your computer, confirm the request by clicking Restart.

Check if everything is OK.

If the problem continue...

Try to restore your Windows to a point before this issue.

Press and hold the Windows key logo + R
A command box will pop-up and you will type: rstrui
