Yup. I can confirm there is an issue with this version and my ASUS Maximus Z790 Hero W/i7-13700K. After installing v10.1.19284.8351, Windows 11 BSOD with an "Inaccessable Boot Device" and I had to perform a boot repair.


Well I am a moron and just installed these drivers on my Strix-e z970 and am getting the inaccessible boot device blue screen.

How do you perform a boot repair?

I ran into the same problem after installing that chipset update. I tried "Startup Repair" but it didn't work. Can't boot into "Safe Mode" either. A total system reinstall was out of the question too.

Since I have "System Restore" enabled on the system drive, I was able to roll back to a previous restore point from within the Windows Recovery Environment which shows up after a two or three failed boot ups. That was the one that worked.

Where can I get the previous Chipset drivers? I'm putting together a new build today and plan on installing the MEI drivers before the BIOS. Will that be enough until the updated chipset drivers are released?

Edit- I've downloaded v10.1.19222.8341 I assume this version is ok?

Yes,

v10.1.19222.8341 is the previous version and works fine.

SAME, Tried to update my z690 hero 13900k to Intel Chipset Driver V10.1.19284.8351, it gave boot device unavailable. Only way for me to recover was fresh install Windows 11.

How is something like this even posted on the site?

DON'T INSTALL !!!! Error was bluescreen with inaccessible boot device

Had to do a system restore to get back into windows 11!!!!

Does it not say Alder Lake for that version in the first post?

READ first.

I think he is referring to the ASUS support website. There is no mention of this issue in the download section for this new version.

There is a validation process in place, however as ASUS does not write the Intel Chipset drivers, certain conditions can sometimes slip through. This is why users often will come to threads such as this, as newer Intel revisions take a while longer to hit the ASUS support pages.

They're aware there's an issue and are working on a solution.
