What determines if Windows can automatically install a device driver or not? I had a huge issue with an Android Device and finally selected "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" and chose the only option with the manufacture name. Even though "show compatible hardware was checked" it still warned that installed the driver may damage the computer. Why does the "search automatically" option sometimes fail (and sometimes you don't even need to go to device manager at all)?
I'm gathering Windows comes with the installers for many device drivers, but they aren't actually installed?
Note! I could understand why it can't do it automatically if the driver is not stored locally and needs to be downloaded, but this certainly wasn't my case as no download happened.
