E3950 Apollo Lake yellow bang issue

[Senthil7]

We are using windows 11 IoT enterprise 64-bit OS Version 22H2 with E3950 Apollo Lake processor. We have encountered an issue regarding a yellow bang for the PCI Simple Communication Controller in the device manager. Despite our efforts, we have been unable to resolve this issue independently. We need assistance in acquiring the necessary driver package to remove the yellow bang for the PCI Simple Communication Controller (VEN_8086&DEV_5A9A).

Additionally, we would like to clarify if the E3950 processor module is officially supported by Microsoft for the Windows 11 platform.

No, the E3950 is not supported by Microsoft for windows 11:

The PCI Simple Communication Controller is typically corrected by installing the ME software.

Hello @Senthil7,

Thank you for contacting Intel Embedded Community.

The Apollo Lake active support is no longer available and as AlHill mentioned, Windows 11 is not supported, you may need to change to Windows 10.

Best regards,
