Double-clicking and opening the device with the error shows you an error code.
What to do with exclamation mark or other devices
Remove all devices with an exclamation mark and any Other devices from Device Manager by highlighting them and pressing the delete key on the keyboard. Once they have all been removed, reboot the computer and allow Windows to re-detect the devices.

Missing hardware or Unknown device
Missing hardware
If you don't see the device you are trying to install in Device Manager, and there are no 'Other devices' listed, the device is not detected by the computer. Even if Windows does not have the proper driver support for the device, it should still put that device under Other devices or Unknown device.
Hp Computer Drivers Windows 10
Try turning off the computer, disconnecting and reconnecting the hardware device, and turning the computer back on. If Windows still does not detect the device, either that device is not compatible with your version of Windows, or it is bad.
Unknown device
If devices are detected but showing as an Unknown device, this indicates that Windows doesn't have the proper driver support for that device.
Sometimes identifying an Unknown device can be difficult if you have not installed anything recently and have no idea what the Unknown device may be in the computer.
If you have recently reinstalled Windows many times, you could get more than one Unknown device in the computer. Installing the computer's chipset drivers from the driver disc or a download should solve most, if not all, Unknown devices. Also, going through the setup on your driver CD can solve many Unknown device problems.
If you are trying to install a new device for your computer, make sure to run the setup or install the drivers from the included disc. If you do not have a drivers disc, the drivers can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
