I have just finished a PC build and when booting windows it tells me "No device drivers were found". Many users have said simply to switch USB ports to 2. My last effort was to use an entirely different USB stick and install using Rufus but this too was a failure. Is there any way for me to boot my computer?? Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. This thread is locked. In an environment where you manage multiple client computers, you should apply these settings using Group Policy..
With Group Policy deployed by Active Directory, you can apply settings to all computers that are members of a domain or an organizational unit in a domain. For more information about how to use Group Policy to manage your client computers, see Group Policy at the Microsoft Web site.
In this scenario, the administrator wants to prevent users from installing any printers. In this scenario, the administrator allows standard users to install all printers while but preventing them from installing a specific one.
In this scenario, you will combine what you learned from both scenario 1 and scenario 2. The administrator wants to allow standard users to install only a specific printer while preventing the installation of all other printers. This is a more realistic scenario and brings you a step farther in understanding of the Device Installation Restrictions policies.
This scenario, although similar to scenario 2, brings another layer of complexity — how does device connectivity work in the PnP tree.
The administrator wants to prevent standard users from installing a specific USB device. By the end of the scenario, you should understand the way devices are nested in layers under the PnP device connectivity tree.
In this scenario, combining all previous 4 scenarios, you will learn how to protect a machine from all unauthorized USB devices. The administrator wants to allow users to install only a small set of authorized USB devices while preventing any other USB device from being installed.
This scenario builds on the policies and structure we introduced in the first 4 scenarios and therefore it is preferred to go over them first before attempting this scenario. The following sections provide a brief overview of the core technologies discussed in this guide and give background information that is necessary to understand the scenarios.
A device is a piece of hardware with which Windows interacts to perform some function, or in a more technical definition - it is a single instance of a hardware component with a unique representation in the Windows Plug and Play subsystem. Windows can communicate with a device only through a piece of software called a device-driver also known as a driver. To install a driver, Windows detects the device, recognizes its type, and then finds the driver that matches that type.
When Windows detects a device that has never been installed on the computer, the operating system queries the device to retrieve its list of device identification strings. A device usually has multiple device identification strings, which the device manufacturer assigns. The same device identification strings are included in the.
Windows chooses which driver package to install by matching the device identification strings retrieved from the device to those included with the driver packages. Windows uses four types of identifiers to control device installation and configuration. You can use the Group Policy settings in Windows to specify which of these identifiers to allow or block.
A device instance ID is a system-supplied device identification string that uniquely identifies a device in the system. Windows can use each string to match a device to a driver package. The strings range from the specific, matching a single make and model of a device, to the general, possibly applying to an entire class of devices. There are two types of device identification strings: hardware IDs and compatible IDs.
Hardware IDs are the identifiers that provide the exact match between a device and a driver package. The first string in the list of hardware IDs is referred to as the device ID, because it matches the exact make, model, and revision of the device. The other hardware IDs in the list match the details of the device less exactly. For example, a hardware ID might identify the make and model of the device but not the specific revision.
This scheme allows Windows to use a driver for a different revision of the device if the driver for the correct revision is not available.
Windows uses these identifiers to select a driver if the operating system cannot find a match with the device ID or any of the other hardware IDs. Compatible IDs are listed in the order of decreasing suitability. These strings are optional, and, when provided, they are very generic, such as Disk. When a match is made using a compatible ID, you can typically use only the most basic functions of the device. When you install a device, such as a printer, a USB storage device, or a keyboard, Windows searches for driver packages that match the device you are attempting to install.
During this search, Windows assigns a "rank" to each driver package it discovers with at least one match to a hardware or compatible ID. The rank indicates how well the driver matches the device. Lower rank numbers indicate better matches between the driver and the device.
A rank of zero represents the best possible match. A match with the device ID to one in the driver package results in a lower better rank than a match to one of the other hardware IDs. Similarly, a match to a hardware ID results in a better rank than a match to any of the compatible IDs. After Windows ranks all of the driver packages, it installs the one with the lowest overall rank.
For more information about the process of ranking and selecting driver packages, see How Setup Selects Drivers in the Microsoft Docs library. For more information about the driver installation process, see the "Technology review" section of the Step-by-Step Guide to Driver Signing and Staging. Some physical devices create one or more logical devices when they are installed. Each logical device might handle part of the functionality of the physical device.
When you use Device Installation policies to allow or prevent the installation of a device that uses logical devices, you must allow or prevent all of the device identification strings for that device.
For example, if a user attempts to install a multifunction device and you did not allow or prevent all of the identification strings for both physical and logical devices, you could get unexpected results from the installation attempt. Device setup classes also known as Class are another type of identification string. The manufacturer assigns the Class to a device in the driver package.
The Class groups devices that are installed and configured in the same way. A long number called a globally unique identifier GUID represents each device setup class.
When Windows starts, it builds an in-memory tree structure with the GUIDs for all of the detected devices. When you use device Classes to allow or prevent users from installing drivers, you must specify the GUIDs for all of the device's device setup classes, or you might not achieve the results you want. The installation might fail if you want it to succeed or it might succeed if you want it to fail.
To install a child node, Windows must also be able to install the parent node. You must allow installation of the device setup class of the parent GUID for the multi-function device in addition to any child GUIDs for the printer and scanner functions. This guide does not depict any scenarios that use device setup classes. However, the basic principles demonstrated with device identification strings in this guide also apply to device setup classes.
After you discover the device setup class for a specific device, you can then use it in a policy to either allow or prevent installation of drivers for that class of devices.
The following two links provide the complete list of Device Setup Classes. Some devices could be classified as Removable Device. A device is considered removable when the driver for the device to which it is connected indicates that the device is removable.
For example, a USB device is reported to be removable by the drivers for the USB hub to which the device is connected. Group Policy is an infrastructure that allows you to specify managed configurations for users and computers through Group Policy settings and Group Policy Preferences.
Device Installation section in Group Policy is a set of policies that control which device could or could not be installed on a machine. Whether you want to apply the settings to a stand-alone computer or to many computers in an Active Directory domain, you use the Group Policy Object Editor to configure and apply the policy settings. The following passages are brief descriptions of the Device Installation policies that are used in this guide.
These policy settings affect all users who log on to the computer where the policy settings are applied. You cannot apply these policies to specific users or groups except for the policy Allow administrators to override device installation policy. This policy exempts members of the local Administrators group from any of the device installation restrictions that you apply to the computer by configuring other policy settings as described in this section. This policy setting allows members of the local Administrators group to install and update the drivers for any device, regardless of other policy settings.
The Bluetooth class installer Bthci. The Bluetooth driver stack can be restricted to load your profile driver and software to run only on a specific release of a remote device by using Plug and Play IDs in both the remote device and the INF file.
