Is there such thing as correct device drivers and wrong configuration?

Sometimes an update causes problems.

Back in the day, a certain sound card I used would work better with Windows 95 than with Windows 98.

There are software repositories out there, but there are so many devices with so many drivers under so many operating systems that I don't know how helpful one can expect them to be.

Good luck.

Typically this happens when a mainboard chipset include Audio/LAN/WiFi/Blutooth Drivers and maybe some other system drivers. The maker of the Audio/LAN etc may also NOT have a fully approved Windows 10 driver or even may have previous windows version drivers. In these cases the PC maker will have a FOLDER usually a root folder  eg C:\SETUP\Drivers,,,, or something very similar. This will then have a sequence of Install applications which will check and install those drivers applicable to your model of pc. This happens ONCE when the machine is made at the factory as a Pre-Installed Windows. The Driver MUST be installed in a certain ORDER because their Hardware Resources which MUST be assigned to THEM only are only FOUND/DETECTED AFTER the BIOS drivers for the Mainboard chipset are Correct. What you may have to do, once the mainboard chipset is correct, and ready for them is install them manually. If windows is allowed to already assign a wrong driver or unknown device driver then you must DELETE the Hardware from the list and then run the correct driver installation program, and it may be the case that you may have to Direct windows to load a driver from a specific set of files at a certain place. So you probably need to delete the badly detected hardware from the system devices and then install each of the other drivers in order for them to be detected properly.

With some devices, there can be several "layers" of drivers involved and the order they are installed is critical, otherwise things misbehave.

Usually if the install order is critical, there will be notes about that somewhere in the makers documentation, if you dig deep enough.

Try having a look on the "Notebookreview" site under the make and model of your laptop. There are a lot of people on there who are good with such problems & it's possible others have found the same thing and a way around it.

Also, Window 10 definitely has various oddities with devices.

My present laptop has interchangeable hard drive caddies, so the operating system and setup can be swapped so suit the different industrial machine systems I work with.

It also has a built-in SD card reader. 

That appears and works fine in Windows 7, but not in Win 10; no errors, no unknown devices, it literally does not exist anywhere, as far as window 10 is concerned, but is again perfect when I swap back to Win 7.
