Hi All,
Greets,
@
LeonAGFL :
1.Sorry, the hotfix has been taken down but it has proper replacement(s).
( The info came from a kind senior )
I need to know when you installed Windows Updates the last time ?
2. What are the Hardware IDs of the missing/unknown devices in Device Manager ? Did they appear only after attempting/switching virtualization in BIOS ?
It may come handy :
Device Manager - Finding Unknown Devices
3.Your idea of enabling/using virtualization from/in BIOS is prompt but i don't know much about that. Should you need any help/queries establishing virtualization, here is a dedicated sub forum:
https://www.sevenforums.com/virtualization/
You may post an additional new thread there. Don't forget to mention/link this thread/problem as well.
4. In your case, there is a good possibility that a proper virtualization may solve the problem on its own
or
the update itself solves the problem even without switching Virtualization in BIOS
or
you may need that hotfix(s) even after you have configured virtualization in BIOS correctly!
Now that you have intended to touch virtualization in BIOS, you should make sure that its done well there first of all. The first thing would be to install all the missing devices in the Device Manager properly.
OR
Come back to the previous status ( Virtualization in BIOS Turned Off, etc. ) & just try the hotfixes first of all.
Whatever You Do In The BIOS, Do It Carefully!
Thanks & Regards. ...
