TIPS :

If you want to manage the drivers (remove old/unused drivers for example) that you have in your Windows DriverStore
Use Driver Store Explorer (Right click on "Rapr.exe" > Run as administrator).

If you want better interrupts delivery latency
Enable MSI (Message Signaled-based Interrupts) mode on all your supported devices (see the column "supported modes") with
MSI Mode Utility (Right click on "MSI_Mode_Utility_v3.exe" > Run as administrator).

Ok thanks, I'm a bit unsure what i need to do in order to update properly. I did manage to get this info (below) from ME Analyzer if it helps ?

I pointed the latest (but now old) BIOS file into ME Analyzer to get this info

If you have correctly installed your Intel MEI drivers, please don't mix everything eveywhere.

This thread is about drivers and you're talking about firmware ...

Here is the correct thread : [FIRMWARE] Intel ME (Z97/X99)

Just follow Check/Update Process, nothing more, nothing less.

Hi,

it depends on the specs of your motherboard.

Your motherboard need V, not AT.

Thanks for the drivers!

Hi everyone,

The Intel Ethernet Drivers have been removed from the thread and have been moved to a specific thread, in addition, the Intel Wifi Drivers & Intel Bluetooth Drivers have been added to this same new thread : [DRIVERS] Intel Ethernet/WiFi/BT

Good day,

Sir MoKiChU could you explain please, how should we determine which exactly drivers are needed for the specific system?
For example: I has ASUS ROG STRIX GL703VM (i7-7700HQ, GTX 1060 6GB)
As i known by different monitoring apps: there is a 6x-series CPU and 100/C230 series chipset (HM175 Mobile) - so which drivers I really need?) for 6x/7x, 1xx or 2xx? ASUS support page recommends me to install:

10.1.1.44 chipset drivers; 15.7.0.1014 RST drivers and 11.7.0.1040 MEI drivers

but LatencyMon shows, that system is not stable with it on Windows 10 21H2 - thats why Im asking about that

Thank you in advance for your reply!
