HP Driver Install errors while using Optimized Image Guide

Garlin, I was still testing to see if I could get the HP drivers to work "normally" in some way.
The best option was to run the SPxxxx.exe files as admin. In this way, only the file to C:\SWSetup\SPxxxx will be unzipped, but no further execution will be executed. I then have to run the "installdrv.cmd" again in this folder as admin as well, so the drivers are installed (without gui). The file "HPMUP.exe", which would probably be responsible for executing the driver installer, does not work at all.
From this point of view, these problems are probably really due to the HP driver package. No matter what I set with UAC, it still doesn't work (even with untouched win11 iso)

Like I posted, HP's devs are morons. Dell or Lenovo installers don't behave in the same fashion.

I answered a driver search question on a different site, for another HP laptop. They hardcoded a script check for Windows version 22H2, and so the same script won't install on 23H2. Which is strange since HP claims it's the same driver for both 22H2 & 23H2.

My advice is then extract the drivers yourself, and bypass the installers. There's no magic there, unless you really value the "HP tools".
 
Well, extract the final driver files to a folder, and add the folder from the Drivers screen.
 
There is one more problem i have, maybe you can help me here too:
Until recently, this HP laptop still had windows 10 installed. Since the laptop doesn't have an RJ45 port, I bought a Satechi USB-C to RJ45 (Ethernet) adapter. This one worked before, too.

Since I installed my custom win11, I can't get the adapter to work, unless I install an untouched win11 and just run the Windows updates, then at some point this adapter suddenly works.

I have found drivers for the adapter and also some people who have/had the same problem, but it only seems to work with Windows Update. However, since I turned this off on my custom win11, I don't know how to get the adapter to work now.

Any ideas?
 
Most of these USB network adapters use a Realtek GBE chipset.

1. Check if this driver works:
Realtek USB FE / GBE / 2.5G / 5G Ethernet Family Controller Software

2. If not, find a working PC and export their drivers:
Code: 
pnputil /export-driver * D:\Drivers

Copy that driver folder to your NTLite host, and import the new folder. Keep anything that resembles a network driver.

I hear the same stories: "My Bluetooth adapter doesn't need any drivers, but it only works if I keep Windows Update..."

Thanks again Garlin, but unfortunately none of your tips worked.
On my host system, this adapter just worked like that. The drivers that are used for it are the ones on the pictures. You were right, it's exactly this Realtek network card built into the adapter, but my host uses a driver from Windows. I can't find this driver anywhere on the Latop. How can I extract this Windows driver? (rtux64w10.sys):

Uumm... how did you find this number? realtek 10.38.117.2020 1903 amd64 and how do you know, which of all these drivers is the right one?

By the way, this driver sadly also dosn't work correctly. It works "better", the blue LED on the adapter lights when i stick it in the usb-c plug, mostly after some minutes or multiple trying plug in and plug out. But i don't get an connection to the net!

To me it looks like the adapter is broken... however, it works immediately when I plug it into my host desktop pc, there also immediately with network. Very strange piece of sh*t!

Any more ideas?
 
They're basically the same driver, except for 32-bit or 64-bit versions.
1903 refers to Windows 1903 (or later) which is a way of narrowing the search from 1000's of hits.

Is your USB3 port and this Realtek set to selectively power down? From Device Manager properties: Energieverwaltung.

Ahaa :oops:... so all these 1000's of drivers are more or less the same? Only differentiation is the Windows Version (1903) which reduce the result to 123 hits? There is not even a version given!

Thanks to Hellbovinse Guide my powerplan settings was the whole time on high performance:
- HUB Selective Suspend Timeout: 0s
- Selective power saving: off
- Setting IOC on all TDs: enabled (i don't know what that is, but i didn't change it)
- USB 3 Link Power Management: off

When i plug in another USB-C Adapter by Satechi (2x USB 3.1, 1x USB-C, 1x HDMI, SD-Cardreader but no RJ45) then this will recognized immediatly.

In the meanwhile i've installed a HP diagnose-tool which said, there is a firmwareupdate available (and install it). I did this firmwareupdate manually some weeks ago, but maybe it won't work because the HP-Driver issues.

By the way: I pluged in the RJ45 adapter yesterday night and the LED is lit. Today morning its still lightning. Then in pluged off and on again and since then it never lights up again!
