Arduino Uno is not showing the name correctly in the device manager

Projects Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer

I wrote a c# code in visual studio that detects the Arduino's port-name by searching for the word "Arduino" in the connected device-manager's devices names and getting its port-name.

When I connect the controller to my computer, I correctly get the connected device name in the device-manager that includes the word "Arduino" (please check the picture below).

But my code fails to detect the port-name of the connected Arduino board in other computers since the device-manager's Arduino device name does not show the word "Arduino" (please check the picture below).

By the way, I have only one Arduino UNO board connected to the same computer.
After setting the port-name manually, all the computers successfully communicate with the connected Arduino controller properly (which means that the required driver for the Arduino UNO board is working!).

Appreciate any support in getting the word Arduino in the device-manager's name of the connected Arduino device.

Are you using genuine Arduino or a clone?

Actually, I don't know. But whether it is this or that, it is showing the name correctly on my computer! I mean, if it is about the type of Arduino, it should show the same name on all computers.

I think it is about a driver-related issue or some configuration. I have no experience with that!

What do you think?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the Arduino was working before and after installing ArduinoIDE.

Solved by extracting the installed driver in my computer and update it in the other computers
