Exclamation mark next to "Network Controller"

[Assusian]

Hi all,

I have a Tuf Gaming B850 Plus mobo and installed all the required drivers, or I think I installed, and this "Network Controller" in "Other Devices" in the Device Manager has a exclamation mark next to it.  I uninstalled the device, made a scan for hardware changes bu no avail. Am I doing something wrong or is there any a solution for this? 

Thank you in advance.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I haven't installed wi-fi drivers as I didn't need them yet. Could this exclamation mark issue be related to the lack of drivers?

Hello @Assusian 

If you don't have any related requirements at this time and your usage is not affected in any way, you may simply disregard this.

Thank you.

It sounds like a driver issue that Windows is not resolving properly, try checking the hardware ID in Device Manager to manually identify and install the correct driver from the chipset vendor's site.

I had a similar issue, and an AI consulting agency helped me automate some of the troubleshooting by analyzing system logs, surprisingly effective when the usual fixes don’t work.
