Hello,

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 44.0.2403.107
Following a tutorial obtained here, I’m stuck after this:

Go to Device Manager.
Right-click on the device in question
Update driver
No, not this time
Install from a list or specified location

I don't have that... I have
Update
Disable
Uninstall
Scan for hardware changes.

Of course, by clicking on the first and the last... they do not find the driver... normal.
I did not note the author's name of the tutorial
Thank you

      Hello,
      On another forum, I had phrased it differently; it’s your tutorial that I tried in vain to use and about which I reported my ongoing problem here.
      However, I received a download link where I didn't have to do anything except the usual... continue... continue... to install.
      I think it’s settled; the yellow triangle has disappeared, as well as the PCI serial port line in the device manager.
      For your information, what you suggested is precisely what wasn’t working... refer back to my message.
      I wasn’t looking for A DRIVER but rather for THE MODIFICATIONS.
      The main thing now is that it’s resolved.
      Thanks.

      RE,
      Given what I wrote to you, it's because there was confusion between updating and installing the driver that I couldn't follow your tutorial. Since it wasn't installed, it couldn't be updated or searched for, or do you not see why I couldn't manage it.

      Since the installation, in Device Manager, the line "PCI serial port" no longer appears and the submenu I mentioned is also missing, of course. Is that normal?
      Thank you.

      If there are no more alerts, it means everything is fine.

        Re,
        Yes, I think so, but what I meant to say is that the tutorial I used (I took it from a resolved topic and it was probably intended for an update rather than driver installation, I think.

    Right-click on the device in question
    Update Driver
    No, not this time
    Install from a list or a specified location

    etc...

    This is a manual driver installation for Vista or XP.

      Hello,
      After installing the driver, I received this message.
      This morning when starting the PC, I got it again.
      What should I do?
      How to ask for the administrator's advice?
      Here is the link to the screenshot.

      Also, a capture of the device manager.
      I displayed the submenu of the graphics and network cards. Which one is AMT that I installed?

      The PCI serial port line that was there before the AMT installation has disappeared.

    The AMT is not necessary for the computer to function.
    At startup, you can disable --> atchk.exe

    It is a security device used by Companies, Businesses, etc...

    To disable it, launch CCleaner
    Tools
    Startup
    Select Intel AMT (atchk.exe)
    Click on Disable
    Restart the pc.

      RE,
      By "professional," you mean a company with network posts, right?
      I disabled it on Ccleaner.
      So Windows considered that this lack of driver was a problem, while it wasn't one for me, is that correct?
      Therefore, in order for this prompt requiring administrator approval to activate not to occur anymore, I click to ensure this message doesn't appear again and check from time to time on Ccleaner to see if it is still disabled.
      Did I understand everything?
      Thank you.

    Go to the Device Manager
    Right-click on the Intel AMT device
    Uninstall it (including the drivers)
    Restart the PC.

    Go back to the Device Manager
    If there is an alert regarding the AMT device
    Provide the hardware ID number.
    To find the ID number, look --> here

    What is the brand and model number of the PC?

    Which operating system is it running and is it 32 or 64 bit?

      Hello,
      AMT has indeed disappeared from the device manager.
      However, upon restarting, there is a message indicating that the driver has not been found.
      I think this message will appear every time now.
      I have an HP Compaq dc 7800p running Windows 7
      and I capture for the rest.
      http://upload.sosvirus.net/download/rreu1m7t96n30epx7ey1kjsep8bs6vddpbdhb7wo

      For the model number, should I look for it or is it not necessary?
      Since it is no longer there, I don’t know the name.

      Unrelated, but I’ll ask anyway.
      Have you installed Windows 10?
      I am looking for the opinions of people who use it because I am soon to be in my eighties and my abilities to grasp new things are declining.
      It seems that Windows 10 is closer to Windows 7 than to 8.1.
      I have the upgrade available but I haven’t done it yet, especially since I have a month to revert to Windows 7.
      Thank you.

      Hi,
      I don't know if it's the same one I already downloaded that I got the download link for here. It's about a resolved topic, I believe, unless it's you.
      However, here’s what you wrote me...

      It's a security device used by companies, businesses, etc...

      If it's the same, then I don't need it. Here's another excerpt...

      By professional, you mean a company with networked workstations, right? And you answered... YES.

      Regarding the off-topic (Windows 10, you didn’t reply to me.
      Thank you.

    Launch CCleaner
    Tools
    Startup
    Select atchk
    Click on --> Delete
    Restart the PC.

    For Windows 10, open a new topic.

      RE,
      It's done, I deleted it on C Cleaner.
      So it was the same... for the network if I understood correctly.
      For W10 it's already done but no response.
      I took the opportunity to ask you an off-topic question.
      Have a good evening.
