Difficulty installing drivers

That all looks like stuff that is not part of the motherboard. Do you have a card with USB ports and network capabilities plugged in?

Of course, I'm going to ask dumb questions here, but I lack the information to know otherwise.

When you open network adapters, what shoes there? I see you are connected to the internet already. So the network controller on the board is working, or we looking at a different wifi card installed?

Are all these devices working properly according to windows?

Does your keyboard or something else have a USB port on it? Drivers required?

OK, which motherboard USB ports are not working if the driver isn't installed?

Reason I'm saying this, is because almost always the SMBus driver isn't installed until you do it and it'll cover other things during the installation. Like the onboard wifi for example.

I've also noticed that (what I can remember, it was a while ago) SMBus?" might have been a couple pop ups of DOS and no actual confirmation of an installation. A good restart seemed to take care of that one.

Lastly,
Specifically what is the NF 12C Slave device? ( I would definitely just google that one) I've never seen it before.

The problem stemmed from too aggressive trimming of the OS in NLite and other tools.

I don't even bother anymore sadly. I'm running a full W11 install. 3D benching (currently) 7900 XT. It does fine at the cooling level. Got all the goofy stuff turned off. That's it. No problems. 1st place CloudGate is decent. I'll take it. And, I can run a game later.

If this was legacy hardware, XP nlite is fun. 3 second post times and sh!t lol.

I've been using Ghost Spectre for years now and out of the box it just works in every application. After trying nearly every OS variant out there I always return to GS. Using default Win 11 feels like I'm using Facebook for a operating system.
