XPS 8950, unknown device in Device Manager?
I have an unknown device showing up =
Hardware Ids show
Root\DellInsDrv
How do I resolve this? I'm running the stock system with Windows 11 Pro. I have run the Dell driver related scanning and it states everything is up to date.
No Events found!

You can select to uninstall the device, restart the system a run a Windows update. If a known device is still active, a proper driver will be installed. Else, it's clear from your system.
A better description of the machine and operating system may help other community with the same issue to follow the thread and you may receive better help from contributors as well.

@Chino de Oro It's an XPS 8950 w/ the 3060Ti
Items I changed were:
Stock button CPU fan to a Dell AIO, but this doesn't connect to anything other than power.
.m2 drive
SSD drive
Stock ODD to Blu-Ray enabled one
After removing and rebooting, it didn't come back, so I'm going to assume it was some remnant from the installation image and wasn't necessary anymore, as I can't see any of the items I changed as being related to DellInsDev
