if by support you mean by "windows updates" i have disabled the drivers from being updated via windows updates. if you mean the OS, by default, its understandable and logical!


i see some size differences in the files (inside the "ALL" folder), thats why i ask and try to understand what is the latest one from those 2!

I updated Win 8.1 to Win 10, and then installed Anniversary update.
Now I got a list of following updates in Windows Update Mini Tools and wushowhide.diagcab

Windows 10 Anniversary Update and later Servicing Drivers
Intel - Other hardware - Xeon(R) processor E3 - 1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor PCI Express Root Port - 0151
Intel - Other hardware - Intel(R) 7 Series 216 Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 1E10
Intel - Other hardware - Intel(R) 7 Series 216 Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 5 - 1E18
Intel - Other hardware - Intel(R) 7 Series 216 Chipset Family SMBus Host Controller - 1E22
Intel - Other hardware - Intel(R) 7 Series 216 Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4 - 1E16
Intel - Other hardware - Intel(R) H77 Expree Chipset LPC Controller - 1E4A

Windows 10 and later drivers:
Intel - Other hardware - Xeon(R) processor E3 - 1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor DRAM Controller - 0150

In addition to this list I got a following update from DUMO:
Intel(R) Watchdog Timer Driver (Intel(R) WDT) Intel 11.0.0.1007 Update available (11.0.0.1010)

Is it make sense to update above mentioned drivers?

Thank you. I contacted MS and they recommended to update. I could not update Watchdog because (I guess) it done (DUMO gave me a lot of updates for 14986 from 14393) for April update.
The other updates have been installed successfully. MS guy recommended to install these updates because of stability (???) issues. He also recommended to create a restore point if I am afraid anything. No problems for now. Thank you any way.

We are on Intel 10.1.1.38 ( 3-10-2016) , can not update with the manual inf-files to 10.1.1.42 ( Jan.2017) ! Used this; Intel Chipset Device INF Files v10.1.1.42 WHQL for manual installation.rar
Why not ??

Thanks for your clear explanation ! I thought you will chance these files to the right date !
Will stay on 10.1.1.38 for now , Intel will correct this failure in near future ,I guess..........

" The WHQL stamp for absolutely wrong dated drivers indicate the worth of Microsoft's digital signature. " .........exactly !
This driver is a big mistake from Intel , also from Microsoft WHQL .
This wrong driver-date appears in the Intel-installer also ?? If not , we could use the installer instead of the manual inf-files.......

Ok Fernando , if I understand you well , then its better to skip this driver-update (?) and wait for next ( better) version !
