Confirm Device Uninstall is taking forever

[trickrickmusic]

I'm trying to remove a driver from my old motherboard before installing the same driver for my new motherboard so that they don't interfere.

This driver is called "Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller - 3B34" under USB Controllers.

It seems to have disabled my keyboard. I wasn't able to remove the driver before installing my new motherboard and I still can't after.

Are there any workarounds to finally remove this driver? Does this driver really need to be removed?

I went from an intel to an asus mobo.


Thanks

Keyboard would be a "HID Compliant device" under "Keyboards" in device manager. Why don't you just install proper drivers from Asus site.

The Asus board still has plenty of Intel chipsets unless you went AMD, and even AMD based motherboards may have some Intel stuff, generally speaking other devices connected to motherboard may have Intel related stuff resulting in Intel drivers.

But in this case it's chipset which is integral for motherboard and AMD based boards have AMD chipsets, so you still have Intel CPU and Intel chipset/s.


If Windows detects it as present, that is, the device is present and the driver does not report not being loaded due to device not being present, then it very clearly is something your motherboard has. Non-present devices are usually hidded which you have to select to see, and greyed out a bit.

Did you try forcing Windows to locate new devices?

Thank you for your help. You made me realize that this ASUS mobo does indeed have an intel socket for my intel CPU. When I remove the device driver, it reappears after a reboot. I just didn't want any interference but I guess everything is fine!
