The controller is in ATA compatible mode. That's why it shows up as ATA/ATAPI in devmgr not AHCI. Mainly for compatibility with optical drives iirc...prob supports XP as well dunno...

Intel released an new AHCI driver not long ago for that board I could find it Fernando doesn't have it already. Going off XP days the way to update without a 0x7B is manual install then switch to AHCI on reboot.
Thing about SATA drivers hotplugging is lost on couple of ports. Think it might be #5 & #6... I have better results with AMD's RAID drivers than the 'AHCI " ones. So I just run 4 HDD in Raid 0 then 2 as singles. Only PITA with that setup is no trim on the SSD boot drive.
Sometimes u can't win :P. lol Who knows maybe all the drivers are identical just with different names and dev id;'s... Wouldn't surprise me. :P

**Under disk drives in devmgr is yours listed as SATA or SCSI? I think SCSI is AHCI.

Intel has never released drivers for a special mainboard and the last Intel AHCI drivers, which were designed for Intel 6-Series Chipsets, have been compiled by Intel at 04/24/2014.

I didn't say the drivers were "special for that mainboard" I said they released drivers for that mainboard meaning drivers which support that controller.

[/quote]What difference does that make the update procedure is the same so are the bugcheecks. THere are no W10 drivers for that chipset because Microsoft ended support for non-UEFI boards with W8.1.

If he were to uninstall his current ATA compatible drivers and restart in AHCI mode a stop 0x7B would occur. Which translates to "Inaccessible Boot Device".
Lenovo has drivers dated 1/6/2015 version 10.1.0.1008 but for W7/XP only.

W10 has no AHCI drivers for that chipset because support has been dropped since 8.1.

That is simply not true. Win10 natively supports all Intel chipset systems, which are running in AHCI mode.
Please keep in mind, that the thread opener named Icb has an ASUS MAXIMUS IV EXTREME-Z mainboard, which has an Intel Z68 chipset.

@Icb:
Back to the topic:
Did you meanwhile find a solution for your problem?

Zitat von lcb im Beitrag #3
if I try to install a driver the same story.
I tested with drivers posted by you.

According to my own experience all Intel RST AHCI driver versions can be properly installed onto an Intel Z68 Chipset system running Win10 (Note: Nevertheless the latest Intel AHCI drivers will not work properly with older Intel chipset systems.).
Conclusion: Your problem has nothing to do with the Intel AHCI drivers themselves.

Zitat von lcb im Beitrag #3
I moded also my bios using UBU, using first 3 OROM,the high as 12.9.2006

An update of the Intel RAID BIOS modules doesn't make any sense, because they will not be used as long as your on-board Intel SATA Controller is running in AHCI mode.

OK I'll clarify what I said.
W10 platform support has nothing to do with the chipset or AHCI. It's dependant on whether or not the motherboard is UEFI compatible. I've said this before.
The 6 series was released right during the transition from legacy to UEFI. So some boards came UEFI ready , some did not. The Maximus IV originally came with a legacy bios. ASUS put out a UEFI BIOS update but afaik it's buggy.
Secondly, W10 kernel mode and boot critical drivers only support UEFI and MUST be signed. M SDN and TechNet are quite clear on this. Meansing you can't mod a W10 storage device driver and expect to boot from it (unsigned).
So it's possible hardware which worked in W8 may not with W10 drivers.

I can link you to the deployment guide info if you like...... UEFI it benefits OEM's more than end users imho..... gives too much control to OEM's thru secure boot and TPM.

That is nonsense.
The AHCI/RAID/NVMe Controllers may need/use different BIOS modules, if the OS has been installed in EFI or LEGACY mode, but they need/use the exact same drivers, regardless of the sort of the OS installation (in EFI or LEGACY mode).
