(SOLVED) Missing driver: "Detection Verification"

Hi Setherz6104, I am Rob, an independent and a 14 time and dual award MVP specializing in Windows troubleshooting and Bluescreen analysis. Please remember as independents we are not responsible for the development of Windows or the computer hardware and drivers. If you will work with me I will be here to help until the issue is resolved.

Though this can be a sign of a hardware device problem, the most common cause of this issue is a bad audio (sound) driver.

In Device Manager (Right Click the Start button) do you see any " ? " or " ! "? If so, and you may not, that is the driver that needs to be re-downloaded from your System/Motherboard maker's site. So if you have a HP, Dell, or whatever check their site for the latest audio driver and download it.

If the system has an Intel (or some others - but not Realtek) then check their specific site as well. And for Intel run this :

Intel Driver and Support Assistant <-- run this after checking with System/Motherboard Maker if your system has Intel Audio.

If is any other driver which you can identify do the same as above for it (such as Ethernet, WiFi, video, or so on).

=====

If you can't identify the driver and the audio section above does not help (do try it first) then use these generic methods (which you may want to do anyway to update the system's drivers).

This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded :

Run DriverView - set VIEW to Hide Microsoft drivers - update those without Dump in their names (and update BIOS and chipset drivers).

DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and more.

For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker's which are the most current. Right Click the Start Button - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down the make and complete model of your video adapter - double click - Driver's tab - write down the version info. Now click UPdate Driver (this may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) - then Right Click - Uninstall - REBOOT this will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat that for Network - Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard if 3rd party with their own software and drivers and any other major device drivers you have.

Now go to System Maker's site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and then Device Maker's site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their latest versions. (Look for BIOS, Chipset, and software updates at System Maker's site while there.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - Right Click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in Device Manager - Drivers tab to be sure the version you are installing actually shows up. This is because some drivers rollback before the latest is installed (sound drivers particularly do this) so install a driver - reboot - check to be sure it is installed and repeat as needed.

Repeat at Device Makers - BTW at Device Makers DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - check manually by model.

Manually look at manufacturer's sites for drivers - and Device Maker's sites.
