Unknown devices show up in the Windows Device Manager when Windows can’t identify a piece of hardware and provide a driver for it. An unknown device isn’t just unknown — it’s not functioning until you install the right driver. Windows can identify most devices and download drivers for them automatically. Where should this driver go in the tree? Not if the device is not x86 specific - eg a generic super I/O device I think the SuperI/O device itself can only be found on Intel motherboards at the moment (Winbond told me that the WPCD376I was an Intel-specific design), but perhaps drivers/input/misc is a better fit?

What is Unplugged Device?
Unplugged Device, also known as non-present devices, is a kind of device that was physically removed from the computer but whose registry entries were not deleted. Once connected with a new USB Flash Drive, Windows will save its related information. When a device has been disconnected with the system, the remained information refers to an unplugged device. Other unplugged devices include Scanner, Printer, Android Devices and iOS Devices etc.

There are two methods to check unplugged devices on Windows. Let’s take Windows 10 as an example.
Method One: Check Unplugged Devices in Device Manager
Although some devices won’t display by default in Device Manager, you can still check those hidden devices with one more step, including unplugged devices.
1. Right-click the Windows Start button and choose “Device Manager”;
2. Click “view” and choose “show hidden devices”;
Then you will find some hidden devices in the list, which includes the unplugged devices.
Method Two: Check Unplugged Devices with a Driver Updater
1. Run driver updater - Driver Booster 6 beta, it will automatically scan and check the driver status;
2. After scanning, there will be a list of all available updates, the driver with a “” mark belongs to unplugged device driver.
How to Update Necessary Unplugged Device Drivers
Updating necessary unplugged device driver can make it better adapt to the system and run smoother. You can also update the unplugged device driver in Device Manager or use Driver Booster.
Method One: Update Unplugged Device Drivers in Device Manager
1. Right-click the relevant device and choose “update driver”;
2. Click “Search automatically for updated driver software”;
It will start searching for driver update online. If there is a new driver available, you can manually update it for better use.
Method Two: Update Unplugged Device Drivers with Driver Booster 6 beta
Since manually updating a device driver can be time-wasting and you need to consider the compatibility, you can also use Driver Booster 6 beta to update the device drivers. It can easily scan and check the diver status and provide common driver update. With the enhanced database, Driver Booster 6 beta will match the best driver for unplugged devices. When plugged again, these devices will run better on computer.
1. Run Driver Booster 6 beta and wait for the scanning result;
2. Click “Update Now” to upgrade all outdated drivers.
How to Clean Useless Unplugged Device Data
Besides updating, Driver Booster 6 beta can also help clean the unplugged device data. If some unplugged devices won’t be used again, you can choose to clean the related data.
Since there are no systematic ways to clean unplugged device data, you may need to check the saving paths and clean up them manually. This is flexible for most users. Besides, if you delete some important files, it may cause a problem. In this case, Driver Booster 6 beta can be the choice.
1. Run Driver Booster and choose “Clean Unplugged Device Data”;
2. Click “Start”, it will automatically scan and clean the unplugged device data.

Description¶
This driver implements support for ISA accesses only forthe Winbond W83627HF, W83627THF, W83697HF and W83637HF Super I/O chips.We will refer to them collectively as Winbond chips.
This driver supports ISA accesses, which should be more reliablethan i2c accesses. Also, for Tyan boards which contain both aSuper I/O chip and a second i2c-only Winbond chip (often a W83782D),using this driver will avoid i2c address conflicts and complexinitialization that were required in the w83781d driver.
If you really want i2c accesses for these Super I/O chips,use the w83781d driver. However this is not the preferred methodnow that this ISA driver has been developed.
The w83627_HF_ uses pins 110-106 as VID0-VID4. The w83627_THF_ uses thesame pins as GPIO[0:4]. Technically, the w83627_THF_ does not support aVID reading. However the two chips have the identical 128 pin package. So,it is possible or even likely for a w83627thf to have the VID signals routedto these pins despite their not being labeled for that purpose. Therefore,the w83627thf driver interprets these as VID. If the VID on your boarddoesn’t work, first see doc/vid in the lm_sensors package[1]. If that stilldoesn’t help, you may just ignore the bogus VID reading with no harm done.
For further information on this driver see the w83781d driver documentation.

Forcing the address¶
The driver used to have a module parameter named force_addr, which couldbe used to force the base I/O address of the hardware monitoring block.This was meant as a workaround for mainboards with a broken BIOS. Thismodule parameter is gone for technical reasons. If you need this feature,you can obtain the same result by using the isaset tool (part oflm-sensors) before loading the driver:
# Enter the Super I/O config space:
# Select the hwmon logical device:
# Set the base I/O address (to 0x290 in this example):
# Exit the Super-I/O config space:
The above sequence assumes a Super-I/O config space at 0x2e/0x2f, but0x4e/0x4f is also possible.
