Windows setup no device drivers were found

While installing Windows 11 or Windows 10, if you get No device drivers were found error, here is how you can fix the issue. It happens when you try to clean install Windows 11/10 on your computer. Although it doesn’t appear frequently, you can troubleshoot the problem if you are getting it.

No new devices drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contact the correct drivers, and then click OK.

The error means Windows didn’t find the correct drivers to go ahead with the installation, which can happen for many reasons. For instance, your installation driver might be corrupted or not signed, you are trying to install unsupported drivers, or Windows is having trouble verifying the drivers. The error occurs during Windows installation when the user tries to install drivers along with Windows setup.

If this problem occurs, you cannot fix it by clicking the corresponding OK button. If your selected hard drive becomes inactive, there is a chance of getting this error. On the other hand, a corrupted ISO file can also cause this issue. Therefore, follow this article to get rid of the issue you are getting while installing Windows 11 or Windows 10.

The Windows installation window allows you to select the correct device drivers. Alternatively you can try using a fresh copy of the driver to complete your Windows Installation. To fix the No device drivers were found error, during Windows installation, you can use one of these suggestions:

1. Make Partition active
2. Format Hard drive
3. Browse to Add Device Driver
4. Create fresh bootable USB

To learn more about these steps, continue reading.

1] Make Partition active

It is the first thing you need to follow in order to fix the aforementioned issue. For that, you must continue using the bootable USB you have made earlier to clean install Windows OS. Then, follow these steps:

• Make sure you are in the boot manage and the installation wizard is opened.
• Choose the language and click the Next button.
• Click on the Repair your computer option.
• Go to the Advanced options and select Command Prompt.
• Enter the password and click the Continue button.
• Enter these commands:

diskpart
list disk
select disk [disk number]
list partition
select partition [drive-letter]
active

After that, restart the installation process.

Hopefully, you won’t have any problem. However, if it doesn’t help, you can follow the next solution.

2] Format Hard drive

If there is some problem with the hard drive, you might have the same problem while installing Windows 11 or Windows 10. Whether it is an SSD or HDD, the problem will remain the same. To fix that issue, you need to format your hard drive. For that, do the following:

• Open the install wizard > choose the language > click the Next button.
• Click on the Repair your computer option.
• Navigate to Advanced options > Command Prompt.
• Enter the password and click the Continue button.
• Enter these commands:

diskpart
list disk
select disk [disk-number]
clean
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs quick

Then, you need to close all windows and restart the installation process.

3] Browse to Add Device Driver

The error means that your drivers are not readable, signed, or corrupt. Hence, manually downloading the driver files and adding them to your bootable USB drive would be a good idea. So you can manually select the driver files while installing Windows at a later stage.

Here is a step-by-step guide:

• First, you must download the chipset or storage drivers from your computer manufacturer’s website. For laptops and pre-built PCs, the manufacturer would be the company. For a custom PC, the manufacturer would be the motherboard company.
• To download the drivers go to the OEM’s website and search for the drivers using the model number.
• Once drivers are downloaded, extract them inside your bootable USB Driver.
• After that, boot up your PC using the USB Driver, usually as you do.
• Once you reach the screen where you received the error, choose the browse button.
• Now, select the inf files and click Ok.
• Finally, Windows will verify the driver files and let you complete the installation.

Once the setup is complete, you can go to the device manager and verify if the driver was installed on the PC. Though we still believe installing a driver post-installation is a better choice. However, if you are testing a setup disk, then it’s worth doing it.

4] Create fresh bootable USB

If none of the above-mentioned solutions worked for you, you might need to create a fresh bootable USB drive of Windows 11 or Windows 10. You have multiple options in your hands. For example, you can create a bootable Windows 11 installation media by downloading the Windows 11 ISO, using Media Creation Tool, etc. Either way, you need to create a clean installation media and perform a fresh installation.

Related: A media driver your computer needs is missing.

How do you fix No drivers are installed for this device?

If you get No drivers are installed for this device error in the Device Manager, you need to install the corresponding driver. For example, if you are getting this error for the graphics card, you need to install the graphics driver. Similarly, you need to perform the same thing for audio driver, Wi-Fi driver, or any other.

What is a Signed Device Driver?

A signed device driver is a driver that has been digitally signed by the manufacturer or developer to indicate that the driver works with the Windows version. This is important because it ensures that the driver is not corrupted or altered. If not, then it can cause problems with the PC. To use a signed device driver in Windows, the driver must be signed with a digital certificate recognized by Microsoft. This certificate is used to verify the driver developer’s identity and ensure that the driver has not been tampered with. That said, if you try to install a driver from a non-verified website, Windows will warn you about its legitimacy. It is advised never to install a driver from unknown sources.

How do you tell if a Driver is Signed?

If you have downloaded a driver, and want to check if the driver is signed, then you can use the sigverif tool in Windows. When you launch the Sigverif tool, go to the advanced option and then use the browser button to select the driver package you need to verify. Sigverif will scan the driver package and verify the signatures of all the drivers included in the package. If any of the drivers are not signed, Sigverif will display a message indicating that the driver is not signed and may not work correctly with your system.

How do I fix No device drivers found during Windows 11/10 installation?

To fix No device drivers found during Windows 11/10 installation error, you need to follow the above-mentioned solutions. First, you have to make the partition active so that it can be used for installing Windows 11/10. Secondly, you can format the hard drive. Last but not least is that you can create a fresh Windows 11/10 installation media.

That’s all! Hope this guide helped.

При установке Windows 11 или Windows 10 пользователь может столкнуться с ошибкой Драйверы устройств не найдены. Проверьте, что на установочном носителе имеются правильные драйверы и нажмите OK.

Ошибка, когда не удается найти драйверы устройств возникает из-за поврежденного ISO образа, неактивного раздела или формата самого диска. Разберем, что делать и как исправить данную проблему.

Исправить ошибку не найденных драйверов для устройств

1. Установка Windows 11/10 c USB 2.0

Попробуйте установить Windows 11/10 с USB 2.0 на компьютере или ноутбуке. Обратите внимания на картинку ниже, синий порт это USB 3.0, а черный USB 2.0.

2. Установочная USB флешка

Попробуйте создать установочную флешку с разметкой MBR, так как в большинстве случаев MediaCreationTool создает со схемой GPT. Воспользуйтесь программой Rufus и выберите схему MBR.

3. Скачать драйверы SATA или AHCI

Загрузите последнюю версию драйвера SATA или AHCI с сайта производителя и закиньте их на другую USB флешку. Воспользуйтесь поиском Google, чтобы найти нужные драйеры.  Для Intel, драйвер называется Intel Rapid Storage Technology (IRST). Если ноутбук, то в поиске наберите его модель или, если это ПК, то процессор + материнская плата.

Далее начните установку Windows 11/10 и, когда появится ошибка, что драйверы устройств не найдены, вставьте другую флешку с драйверами SATA и AHCI и нажмите Загрузить или Обзор, и укажите путь к флешке с драйверами.

4. Сделать раздел активным

1. Начините установку системы Windows 11/10 и на шаге «Установить» нажмите снизу на Восстановление системы, чтобы попасть в дополнительные параметры.

2. Далее Поиск и устранение неисправностей > Дополнительные параметры и Командная строка.

3. В окно командной строке задайте следующие команды:

• diskpart
• list disk
• select disk (Номер Диска)
• list partition
• select partition (Номер раздела)
• active

Описание команд: Запускаем инструмент Diskpart, выводим список дисков, выбираем нужный нам диск, на котором windows и ошибка, далее выводим список разделов на выбранном диске, выбираем нужный раздел, где нужно установить windows 11/10 или старый, где уже было система, после чего делаем его активным.

Важно: Хочу заметить, что это только для MBR разметки, если у вас GPT, то данная схема не нуждается в активном разделе. Пропустите данный пункт, если у вас ошибка после последней команды Active.

5. Отформатировать диск

Это удалит все ваши данные на всем диске. Запустите обратно командную строку из дополнительных параметров и введите следующие команды, после чего выключите ПК и начните заново установку Windows 11/10.

• diskpart
• list disk
• select disk (номер диска)
• clean
• create partition primary
• format fs=ntfs quick

Обратите внимание, что я пример показываю на форматировании USB-накопителя и через запуск Терминала на рабочем столе. Вы должны указать тот диск, на который хотите установить систему или выдается ошибка, что  драйверы устройств не найдены при установке Windows 11/10.

Здравствуйте!

Сегодня будет «узкая» заметка, посвященная ошибке: «Драйверы устройств не найдены…», см. скрин ниже 👇(примечание: она всплывает при попытке установить Windows, чаще на ноутбуках. Причем, на новой 11-й версии ОС тоже…).

Заранее предупрежу, что универсального решения нет, т.к. причинами такого «поведения» устройства может быть далеко не одна причина… (например, неправильно записанная установочная флешка, повреждение USB-порта, отсутствие драйверов на USB 3.0 и пр.).

Ниже кратко о том, что нужно проверить, и в какой последовательности. Рекомендую «разбираться» от «верха к низу» (в таком же порядке, как указано в заметке).

Итак…

Несколько рекомендаций при появлении этой ошибки

📌 Совет #1

Опционально, при возможности…

Если на дисках компьютера вам не нужны никакие данные — можно попробовать удалить все разделы (если они отображаются), выбрать неразмеченную область и нажать «Далее» (кнопки «Загрузить» и «создать раздел» оставить без внимания…).

В идеале, должна начаться установка ОС (но заранее предупреждаю, что этот метод работает не всегда!).

*

*

📌 Совет #2

Далее обратите внимание, что у вас на компьютере (ноутбуке) может быть несколько типов USB-портов (2.0 и 3.0). Не все дистрибутивы Windows можно установить, подключив установочную флешку к порту USB 3.0 (они помечаются, обычно, синим цветом). Именно по этой причине Asus на многих своих ноутбуках даже в текущем году не «ликвидирует» 2.0 порты (кстати, при их использовании не возникает «помех»… но это совсем другая тема). 

Вывод: попробуйте воспользоваться другим USB-портом, желательно 2.0. Кстати, не стоит подключать установочную флешку через различные переходники или удлинители!

*

*

📌 Совет #3

Эту рекомендацию начну с вопроса: «Какую версию Windows вы пытаетесь установить?»…

Дело в том, что (например) в дистрибутиве Windows 7 отсутствуют драйвера для USB 3.0 (и у вас не получится ее установить, если вы не загрузите иной ISO образ со встроенными драйверами // либо не добавите их «туда» самостоятельно).

Для ноутбуков: также порекомендовал бы посмотреть на офиц. сайте, какие версии Windows поддерживает устройство (для каких версий есть драйвера).

В общем, попробуйте установить другую версию Windows (по возможности). Например, вместо Windows 10 —> 11-ю… (либо Windows 7 с инсталлятором от 10-ки).

📌 В помощь!

Как и где искать «редкие» файлы: программы, ISO-образы, игры и пр. — https://ocomp.info/kak-i-gde-skachat-faylyi-i-igryi.html

*

👉 Небольшой лайфхак для тех, кому нужно установить Windows 7!

Если у вас есть установочная флешка с Windows 8 — попробуйте из образа ISO с Windows 7 извлечь на нее один файл intall.esd (весит около 3-4 ГБ), с заменой! (он в папке «/sources»).

Далее, подключив эту флешку к USB и начав установку ОС, вы заметите, что вместо «восьмёрки» устанавливается Windows 7! 👌

*

📌 Совет #4

Довольно часто ошибки на первом этапе инсталляции ОС происходят из-за некорректно-записанной установочной флешки (либо при использовании «битого» ISO образа). В этом плане я бы посоветовал следующее:

•  загрузить 👉 офиц. образ ISO (лучше сразу несколько);
• попробовать подготовить пару флешек, записанных 👉 разными утилитами (ссылка на подборку лучших программ и инструкций по работе с ними);
• вызвать 👉Boot-меню и проверить их работу (📌еще лучше, использовать флешку, которая уже многократно проверена на др. ПК).

*

Кстати, как вариант — можно даже не подготавливать загрузочные флешки, а запустить установку Windows прямо из образа ISO, не распаковывая его (например, воспользовавшись LiveCD).

*

📌 Совет #5

Проверьте настройки BIOS (как войти в него):

• в разделе: «System Configuration → USB3.0 Configuration in Pre-OS» → установите «Disabled» (название может несколько отличаться: «USB 3.0 Support», например);
• в разделе: «System Configuration → Boot Options → Secure Boot» → установите «Disabled»;
• в разделе: «System Configuration → Boot Options → Legacy Support» → установите «Enabled».

(актуально для ОС не поддерживающих защищенную загрузку // при проблемах с работой с USB 3.0).

Often users get “No signed drivers were found” issue in their windows system. Mostly, this error prompts when a user goes for a re-install or fresh install of Windows OS using the preferred installation media.

Here, you must be thinking about what is a signed driver and why it is specified here.

Well, Signed Drivers are authorized drivers i.e. digitally certified. It helps in identifying the required details like manufacturer and security of the driver. Like in case it has been previously modified, the driver will become an unsigned driver and the system will show such errors whenever you try to insert it. Signed drivers work at high security and allow windows to install it automatically. In simple words, it is the harmless drivers authorized by Microsoft to use in Windows.

Now, you must be clear that signed drivers have a prominent role in running a system. So, a proper resolution is required to fix no signed device drivers were found windows 10 install. That’s why we are here with an authentic range of methods.

Let’s get started!

No Signed Device Drivers Were Found: Problem Overview

No need to worry as this is fixable, just follow the methods included in this blog to fix the “No signed device drivers were found” issue.

Basic Troubleshooting

First things first! Check on the external things like a USB port or DVD drive. In case these are corrupt or not working properly then it might interrupt you with these kinds of error messages.

In case you are using USB media for windows installation via 3.0 USB port. Then switch to USB 2.0 USB port to get a better result. This has worked for many. Sometimes there are issues with USB ports, which rarely gets identified.

So, trying this simple hack can work for you. Also, check on the port if it is in good condition or not. If this doesn’t then head to our next method.

Deeper flaws require deeper inspection. To fix “no signed device drivers were found to make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, then click ok” we require to get our hands into BIOS while performing some of the below-given methods. Just follow it as per instructions and order to fix it.

Check and make the Partition as Active

Allowing a specific partition to install windows file has fixed the “No service device drivers were found” issue for many users. This method requires a recovery tool as you will get an option to choose it. Make sure you have an installation media before you start this.

For Windows XP:

• Then tap a random key on your keyboard on the “Press any key” screen. “Welcome to Setup” screen will appear, just tap “R”. Now type “1” and press Enter, this will log in to your recovery console.
• Then, type “diskpart” and hit Enter. then type “list partition” and hit enter. now, you must type the partition you want to set active, type “select partition Z” (Replace Z as per your drive’s letter) then tap Enter. Now type “Active” and press Enter. At last “Restart” your system.

• Now, look at the bottom of the screen to find “Repair your computer”, tap on this option. Now, you will get into the “System Recovery Options” screen, just tap on the “Command Prompt”.

Windows 8,8.1,10:

• At first, choose the keyboard layout you want to use from the popped-up screen. Now, the “Choose an Option” screen will appear, just follow these options, Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt.

  

Here “Z” stands for the partition you want to set “Active” to install your Window. So replace it according to your choice of the drive letter.

Now, you can initiate the installation procedure into this new set driver. In case even now you are getting “No signed device drivers were found” issue then carry on with the next method regarding creating a new disc.

Create a New installation media

As the error says “No signed”, this means, the installation media does not contain the required signed driver i.e. digitally certified. Or the other scenario can be, when you burnt the setup into Disc or USB, it was corrupt. Another thing can be, maybe your installation media has got corrupt resulting in damaging the required files.

Make sure you have noted down the serial key of your Windows 10 OS. As this can be used only once and will be required.

Go for the below steps to create a fresh installation media:

Be patient until it gets finished. Once it is done follow this link to install your Windows 10 OS to check if the “No signed device drivers were found” gets fixed or not.

Get into BIOS to alter the xHCL hand-off

xHCL hand-off option is responsible for managing the USB ports so the connected devices. The noticeable part is, when it is turned off or disabled, the BIOS manages the USB port. When it is enabled the operating system gets a chance to manage the USB port. Here, this seems a very silly thing but it has fixed the “No signed device drivers were found” issue for many. The reason is in case your BIOS is not managing the USB port properly, that might be the reason it is not getting detected and found as “Unsigned driver”.

Follow the below steps to perform this method:

WE hope that this has let you install the window by eliminating the issue “No signed device drivers were found” error.

Change your systems Boot Mode to Legacy and set the Priority

Support legacy should not be ignored here as this plays an essential role. Making a few changes in support legacy configuration has worked for many. As per users, they found that when they inserted the windows installation media to re-install their system, it just got ignored and taken to the systems Hard disk drive to perform the boot.

This thing has interrupted the readability of inserted installation media resulting in “No signed device drivers were found” issue.

Go with the below-given steps to perform this:

This has worked for many by fixing the “No signed device drivers were found” error, we wish the same for you.
