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).

is it possible that the chipsetdriver in the first post is no longer the latest? think 10.1.19263.8344 is newer. am i correct?

Hi,

This is wrong, 10.1.19263.8344 is for X299 only (for which a newer 10.1.19271.8345 version is here : [DRIVERS] Intel Chipset/MEI/SATA/VROC (X299))

hmm thats weird because armoury crate is telling me that there is a new version for my z790 apex MB

[kvarq]

this one was really weird
uninstalled the …*8341*version, restart, then installed as admin this version, restart and… nothing

*after restart it wouldn’t get at all in Windows*
*tried reset but nothing

had to reinstall Windows completely :))*
of course I’m gonna install …8341 driver version :))

[itzjonjon69]

^^^ Also installed, and i couldn't boot into windows and kept getting BSOD for "inaccessible drive" but then booted into safe mode and reverted back and all is good.

[kvarq]

mine got so fraked that even “safe mode” or “reset” was NOT possible :))
that’s so cute losing Saturday evening installing Windows:))*

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And chipset drivers ain't real driver's. You don't need to update Intel Chipset drivers. If you don't see any yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager, then let it be as is. And please make an backup with Macrium Reflect Rescue thumb drive/similar backup solutions. You are back in windows within 3.5 min if your OS fail to load. You find USB thumb drives for below 20$.

I had some sparetime and tested the chipset driver 10.1.19284.8351 WHQL [20/10/2022]. Both on top of older driver and after a driver cleanup as the guide say. See post #281. https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?117609-DRIVERS-Intel-Chipset-MEI-SATA-VMD-(1xx-2xx-3xx-4xx...

The OS don't load with this latest Intel Chipset driver on already running OS/machine.

@MoKiChU should put back older CHIPSET_Intel_v10.1.19222.8341driver in OP post. And link to this post why people don't need to install this driver update on a working machine and OS. Save time and don't fix it "if ain't broke".

I completely agree. Most of the times the enemy <> is <>.
I think I just wanted a little bit more performance…Â*
Lesson learned, I’ll update just official drivers from now on

Now I’m sorry I flagged this apparently I received lots of hate and bad reputation overnight:))

Z790 Apex here / cannot edit my profile since the forum was downÂ*

[Superino091]

I confirm with the latest drivers BSOD for "inaccessible drive"
we would have to understand why
