I saw this post today and the information provided helped me fix this issue.

The link basically says to visit the Intel website and use the Intel Driver Update Utility. The utility will automatically scan your computer for devices that are eligible for an update. Hope this helps you because it helped me. I also updated my Wireless driver while I was using the Intel Driver Update Utility since a newer driver was recently made available.

This worked for me; however, I ended up having to uninstall the old Intel WiDi driver and then restarting my computer before the setup.exe file would run and install on my computer (dell inspiron). I did create a restore point in case it didn't work, but everything seems to be running smoothly!

I should also point out that just deleting the Intel WiDi driver also got rid of the yellow exclamation mark, and unless you are planning to try and connect to your computer to your TV wirelessly, I don't think it is something that you need. Here is a link that explains what the driver does:

Same thing on my HP envy15. My troubleshooter says the most current drivers are installed, but the Device Manager says "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)." Please help!

Yes, if delete this host controller this device"Intel WiUSB" will disappear. But maybe not means ok. By the way, re-install & recovery can't solve this issue if not change system time in my side.

Hi There,

I downloaded the an updated driver from here:

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Software+Products&ProductLine=Chipset+Software&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+USB+3.0+eXtensible+Host+Controller+Driver

I unzipped the file and clicked update the driver and selected the folder where I unzipped the new version of the driver.

Windows told me that the updated version was successfully installed but when I exited the dialogue box, it was still saying that there was a problem with the driver.

So I deleted the installed driver.

I did nothing else but everything seemed to be working fine. (I was intending to re-install windows if there was a problem)

I will update this post if I develop a problem.

Mark
