,we have with this error with all windows 10 enterprise and server 2012 r2 installations (these are completley new installations).
As a workaround you can disable autostart of iastoricon.exe with task manager, as the driver itself works fine you will only miss the icon.
[...]

In the past I did the same, seems that I will go on with this policy. Its somehow strange that Intel haven't found a solution yet.

Yesterday I managed to install the newest driver 15.0.0.1039 and Rapid Storage software unmodified. I don't know why you say that it doesn't support Z97 chipsets natively, but it installed without any problems on my motherboard - ASRock Z97 Extreme 6.

@bobypf:
The successful installation of a driver is not a proof, that it fully supports the related system.
You got the unmodified Intel drivers resp. the original Intel RST(e) Drivers & Software Set v15.0.0.1039 installed, because you are running your on-board Intel 9-Series SATA Controller in RAID mode. You wouldn't have succeeded after having set it to "AHCI" within the BIOS.
Note: The only reason why even the latest original Intel RST(e) drivers are installable onto all Intel RAID systems from ICH8R up is the fact, that Intel inserted the universal external DeviceID DEV_2822 and not the specific internal DeviceID of the definitively supported Intel 100-Series Chipset SATA RAID Controllers into the related INF file.

Good day, System Windows 10, Intel Xeon 2683 v3, Asrock x99 extrem 4, SSD SanDisk Ultra II 240GB
I set the Intel RST driver 14.8.0.1042, but in the device manager I have shown that driver windows version 10.0.10586.0 from the 2006 model year.
What's wrong, help pliz?

The shown MS "driver" is managing your Disk Drives, but not your on-board Intel SATA AHCI Controller. If you hit the "Driver Details" tab, you will see something like this:

If you want to know the currently running AHCI driver, you should expand the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers" section of the Device Manager, right-click onto the listed Intel SATA AHCI Controller and choose the options "Properties" > "Driver" > "Driver Details".

Yes, your desired Intel AHCI driver has been successfully installed.
Nevertheless I would like to know, why you have chosen the Intel RST(e) driver v14.8.0.1042, since there are newer and better Intel RST(e) drivers available, which belong to the same development branch v14.8.x.xxxx (e.g. v14.8.9.1053).

Whose official website do you mean?
The mainboard manufacturers and Intel itself do not update the "officially offered" drivers very often, whereas the driver development at Intel's headquarter continues permanently.

This way you will not get the latest resp. the best drivers.
You should keep in mind, that Intel
a) has stopped the production of own desktop mainboards a while ago and
b) does not offer their storage drivers for users of non-Intel mainboards.

Not sure if I should create a separate thread, but I've got a MSI Z77-G45 Thunderbolt with an i5-2500k running Windows 7 Ultimate with two Samsung 250GB 850 Evos in a RAID 0 using IRST. I just updated my Intel Option ROM using UEFI Bios Updater. I am using Intel RST Drivers 13.1.0.1058 with Option ROM 13.1.0.2126. Windows says that it has TRIM turned on when I run the fsutil command, but trimcheck and the method on here using a hex editor are both showing that no TRIM is happening, and my performance agrees. Both SSD's are on the Intel SATA 3 controller.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling RST software and upgrading and downgrading the RST drivers and am still having no luck.

@thescaryone:
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

TRIM should work within your Intel RAID0 array. Maybe the current TRIM activity is too low to be detected by the TrimCheck tool.
1. Download the tool named "Anvil's Storage Utilities". You can find the download link >here<.
2. Make sure, that .NET Framework is installed.
3. After having unzipped the downloaded package, move the folder named "AnvilBenchmark_V110_B337" into the root of your drive C: (provided, that the system drive is within your RAID array).
4. Double-click onto Anvilpro.exe, hit the menu point "Benchmarks" and choose the option "Trigger TRIM".
5. After having waited ca. 30 seconds, re-run the TrimCheck tool and look what happens.

Good luck!

That took care of it, TRIM is now running and shows repeatedly on trimcheck and when I use the hex method. If I ever notice any issues I'll just fire up Anvil again.

Hello guys,

i can now say "YES" to Trim support by using an ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS Board with OROM 4.1.0.126 and not the latest RSTe Drivers Suite, that it is working.
This is what I get after having run the TrimCheck tool:

with the latest Suite the IAStorIcon.exe does allways fail.

Thank you for this great Forum.
