SM Bus Controller is not installed?

I have done a search and I cannot find the answer...

I keep getting "SM Bus Controller is not installed" message for my PC under the "Device and Printers" menu from the Control panel. I have installed the latest chipset drivers for my MB from the Asus driver/support page. Am I missing something?

Hello txgrunt

Go to device manager and see if any devices are showing with a yellow triangle.

When I go into "Device Manager" on the left hand side of the window there is a tab listed as "Other devices". When you click the tab other devices, it shows SM Bus Controller with the yellow triangle...

Thank You

Have you installed the chipset driver?

If you haven't installed the chipset driver get it here.

Yes, I did install the lastest chipset driver already.

I downloaded and installed Version 9.5.15.1730 from ASUS. It still says No driver detected for SM Controller...

Nate... I figured it out... I was installing the latest Intel Management Engine and not the chipset itself... Asus through me off when they include that in the chipset tab...

I know this is a bit old, I wanted to thank @chiefzeke as your comment got me pointed in the right direction. I found https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/30334/Chipset-INF-Utility and it sorted the issues out, I believe it works for all intel chipsets.

HI, there it works for me.

I have Asus rog strix z590-A gaming series and now smbus and pci devise working,  Thanks!

Thank you for this thread, INTEL has removed support for this driver and only provides a new one that is not z97 compatible with Windows 10. Thanks for the name of the driver Intel_inf_10.0.0024_WHQL I can search the internet for the 2017 version and install a working driver for the SM Bus Controller
