I've "upvoted" feedback regarding this issue someone left about a Miracast driver. Let's hope Microsoft takes some action.

Yeah, it doesn't make me feel all warm and toasty either. I wish Microsoft would at least post something searchable about things like this, but I guess that's asking too much.

According to the site you gave, the "Device xxx requires further installation"  message doesn't mean anything because it's not the latest message listed in Events. The site also says that everything's OK if there's a "device installed" entry. In my case, there were no "device installed" messages in Events for any driver. However, there was always a "device migrated" message which I guess means everything's fine. In any case, I've marked the thread "Solved". Thanks again.

Yes. As far as I can tell, I have the latest drivers.

General Computer Support / (SOLVED) Windows 10 "Device xxx requires further installation"

I've been dealing with "Device such and such requires further installation" for some time now on my Win 10 laptop, although I hadn't realized it until recently. The message shows up when the Events tab is selected for a driver in Driver Manager. In my case, at least several drivers are affected, including the display adapter, network, and audio devices. Curiously, the device associated with the driver appears to function properly. However, after migrating from Win 8.1 to Win 10, the Linux Mint installation I had running in a VMWare virtual machine stopped recognizing a network connection (which prompted my looking at the driver events). I've tried all sorts of deletion and re-installation without any effect whatsoever. Running Tweaking.com (absolutely great software!) didn't seem to help this problem even though it corrected many others. Any ideas for solving this problem (if in fact it is a problem!) will be greatly appreciated.
