That's not a conflict problem. Did you install the Intel Management Engine software, the Intel Management Engine driver ver:11.0.0.1158 on your board's Win 10 download page?

Otherwise, restarting the PC with this driver installed will remove that warning in Device Manager.

Did you install drivers from the disk that came with the board? Or did you not install any drivers at all?

I had the disc and still the same problems along with an unknown device. I even downloaded newer updated drivers from Asrock and still the same thing.
