About this tag
The tag 'inf driver matching' covers issues where Windows fails to correctly identify hardware through its INF driver matching process, as seen with NVIDIA nForce RAID arrays after the Windows 10 Anniversary Update. This problem caused the OS to misidentify RAID members as generic SCSI devices, making arrays inaccessible in Disk Management and NVIDIA tools despite appearing healthy in the motherboard RAID ROM. The content highlights how legacy hardware like nForce chipsets and nvraid-based RAID sets can break after feature updates due to changes in driver matching logic. Troubleshooting such issues often involves manual driver installation or registry edits to restore proper INF matching.

The failure...
