Your question is not very correct genuinely

Your BIOS inside your MOBO is responsible
for PnP. Your operating method has to ask the
BIOS, what is connected, and then the operating
program, can communicate with a device and configure
its resources appropriately.

so in a way, ALL devices are plug and play.

some devices can not talk TO the BIOS so they
are not plug and play, but the BIOS still lists them
the identical way and allows them to be configured so
despite having manually detected and loaded drivers
as soon as they are in then the operating method can configure
them to some extent in the exact same way.

The distinction is with PnP devices they can normally allocate
their resources in a flexible manner, whereas non PnP generally
have 1 fixed default configuration, but with a little quantity of leeway.
or with On Board Jumpers to shift their resources to steer clear of conflicts.
====================================
so the greatest answer for your question is

1 make sure your mobo bios is up to date.
two make certain the mobo CHIPSET drivers are up to date
3 potentially you could need to update video card firmware too.

then that makes sure the mobo BIOS and operating method can
talk together in the most up to date way.
