Hi,

Compressing the Intel executables (.exe) package caused it to be detected by some antiviruses as a virus. This is now fixed (the current one is no longer compressed and I will not compress them any more).



Hi,

The 10.1.18793.8276 version is the first WHQL certified for Windows 11, and in this version, the official support of the 1xx serie chipsets & 6th/7th Gen CPU has been removed by Intel.

So, the 10.1.18739.8272 version is the last Intel Chipset Drivers package officially supporting the 1xx serie chipsets based motherboards & 6th/7th Gen CPU.

However, Intel by removing the official support of the 1xx serie chipsets & 6th/7th Gen CPU has also deleted the Skylake drivers used by the 3xx serie chipsets & 8th/9th Gen CPU which are still supported.

Intel fixed this mistake with the last 10.1.18807.8279 version (without restoring the official support of the 1xx serie chipsets & 6th/7th Gen CPU) :





Hi,

Yes, all 2xx/3xx/4xx/5xx series chipsets are officially supported by the last Intel Chipset Drivers (second WHQL certified for Windows 11).

This is great news, thanks MoKiChU 🙂

Hi,

The 10.1.18793.8276 version is the first WHQL certified for Windows 11, and in this version, Intel has removed the Skylake drivers used in many case by the 1xx/2xx/3xx series chipsets based motherboards.

Amazing! Thanks for the great support!! 😄

installed the realtek driver package after a fresh install of windows and I do not have realtek audio console, realtek usb driver in my control panel add remove programs, nor is it in my device manager. I have installed them exactly like OP described and NO GO.

I can't explain why, but running chipset version 10.1.18716.8265 I don't have WHEA errors.

Running 10.1.18807.8279 I have errors at idle all the time.

I think the new chipset doesn't like my OCing....

I spent a week testing and have no doubt about this... the new chipset is my problem...

How Is it possible?

Quick question! Do you need SATA-AHCI drivers if you are using only a NVMe SSD?

Hi,

No, you don't need it.

Here are the drivers used according to the most common scenarios :

- SATA HDD/SSD in Standard (AHCI) mode : Intel SATA AHCI Driver
- SATA HDD/SSD in RAID mode : Intel SATA RAID Driver
- NVMe SSD : Microsoft built-in NVMe Driver*

* In order to be able to use Microsoft DirectStorage (or NVIDIA RTX IO) in the future, you still have to use this built-in driver even if there is a specific driver from your SSD manufacturer's (as Samsung NVMe Driver for SSD NVMe Samsung PCIe 3.0 for example).

Thank you! I bought a WD Black SN750 1TB NVMe SSD so good to know.

I have looked through this entire thread and not seen a problem I am having installing the Intel MEI so sorry if I may have missed it. I have a new build (i7 10700k Asus ROG Strix Z590 Gaming A Wifi) that will not install Intel MEI. If I try installing that offered at the Asus site, I get The setup program ended prematurely because of the following error: This platform is not supported. I tried those on the DVD and get the same. I tried that offered on the first page here (I believe driver only) but nothing appears to happen. Can anyone help?

Hi,

Follow this process :

- If you see Intel Management Engine Components in your apps installed (Start > Settings > Apps) : Uninstall them then restart your PC
- Launch Driver Store Explorer as admin > Check the boxes of all versions of these drivers .inf (if you find them) : heci.inf | dal.inf | dal_wc.inf | iclsclient.inf | lms.inf | wiman_wlan_extension.inf | wiman.inf | mesrl.inf
- Check the box "Force Deletion" then click on the "Delete Driver" button then restart your PC
- Download the Intel MEI drivers package from the first post of this thread
- Follow the Install/Update Process

For the next drivers packages that I would release, you will can directly follow the Install/Update Process.
