Device Requires Further Installation Error

By Timothy Tibbetts

Device Requires Further Installation is an error that can appear when plugging in a USB device. When a USB device is plugged in Windows automatically downloads and installs the required drivers. If the driver is outdated or corrupted, you might see this error.

1: Windows Updates

Not having the latest Windows Updates could cause the Device Requires Further Installation error. Press the Windows Key + S, type in Windows Updates, and click on Windows Update settings.

Click on Check for updates and reboot if you installed any updates.

2: Update Driver Manually

There's a possibility Windows can't find or recognize your device. In this case, download the latest driver yourself.

3: Install Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software (If Applicable)

If you have an Intel wireless network card, that's one other device known to cause the Device Requires Further Installation error. You can download the latest drivers here.
