Step 3: Reboot Your Computer

After updating the drivers, it’s recommended that you reboot your computer to ensure that the changes are applied.

If the “Base System Device” error persists, you should repeat Step 1 and identify any other affected devices. Then follow Step 2 to update their drivers.
