I recently upgraded my Acer Aspire A315-41-R45R laptop by installing a new WD Green SATA SSD M.2 2280 - 480GB (Model: WDS480G3G0B). The SSD was installed by the Acer local service center. After the installation, I noticed two yellow exclamation marks in the Device Manager under "Other devices" for:

1) PCI Device

2)PCI Encryption/Decryption Controller

Despite this, the SSD with Windows 10 installed is working fine, and there are no performance issues currently. The only concern is the errors displayed in Device Manager.

I’ve already taken the following steps, but the issue persists:

Checked for driver updates via Device Manager (no drivers found).
Updated the SSD firmware to the latest version using WD Dashboard.
Ensured Windows 10 is fully updated.
Verified the SSD is functioning correctly using WD tools.

Could someone guide me on how to resolve this?

You can right click on the flagged components in Device Manager>Properties>Details>Hardware ID's(from the drop down menu). Pass on what you see.

As for the laptop, did you make sure you're on the latest BIOS version prior to dropping in the new SSD?

You might want to try and reinstall your chipset drivers;

using the above linked installer but do so in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.
