Missing advanced tab on all items in device manager
I have a strange issue. It seems none of the property screens for devices in my device manager have an advanced tab. I did not check 100% of them but a good portion and things that I know should have advanced tabs like usb controllers and ata/atapi controllers and nic.
I noticed this while setting up a new laptop for myself (Acer TravelMate P278-M with Windows 7 pro). I am cleaning up all the bloat ware and updating windows and removing the telemetry updates and getting it set how I want it to create an image of exactly what I want for backup. I was simply trying to disable the usb performance notification and noticed there was no advanced tab for my usb controller. And nothing I checked had one.
I did some searching and saw that the Intel Storage software that came installed on my laptop can sometimes disable the advanced tabs (the posts I saw were about Intel Storage Matrix and I have Intel Rapid Storage Technology installed) so I did try uninstalling what it came with and restarting but the problem persisted.
So what happened to all my advanced tabs?
