The thing is this is after inf is used and then manualy using Divice manager to update drivers where winows found new drivers.
we are comparing to se if there actually is a new driver hiden on the online MS driver section. since when i used the update drivers on the device manager windows found new ones.

@Fernando
I am not arguing that, and for me its just great since you know less to Fidddle With After My re install is great.

There is just one thing that starter all this and is the to me missleedong info MS and intel brought up concerning a issue on Windows 8
That a friend Asked me about.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...evices-after-yo

**************
Issue

When you update your computer through Windows Update, some Intel SMBus Controller device drivers are unexpectedly overwritten with Intel Chipset Device software. This causes loss of functionality for some affected Intel SMBus Controller devices. This issue applies to the following Windows operating systems:

*******

Cause
The existing Intel SMBus Controller device provides the operating system with information about the device and hardware. This enables the operating system to display the correct product name for that piece of hardware in Device Manager.

The Intel Chipset Device software does not install device drivers for the Intel SMBus Controller. This causes a loss of device functionality.

*****

And here is the confusion

Method 3 (optional): Install the updated Intel Chipset Device software or the Intel Server Chipset driver from Windows Update. To do this, follow these steps:

Open Device Manager. To do this, click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Device Manager.
Select View, choose Devices by Type, and then expand System Devices.
Double-click the Intel chipset device from the list.
Click the Driver tab, and then click Update Driver.

Method 4 (optional): Install the updated Intel Chipset Device software or the Intel Server Chipset driver from the Intel Download Center. To do this, follow these steps:

So I guess that's why the chipset 10.1.2.86 will not be installed because you say it's the oldest date, well I'll wait for Fernando to modify it to update it.

Regards, thank you.

Hi Fernando,

why this old date in 10.1.2.86?

Hello everyone,

I have just joined this Forum because I was impressed by how clear, direct and helpful the explanation about the opportunity (or not) to install Intel IRST software is. I am deeply grateful because it made me realize once and for all that I simply do not need it on my HP ProDesk 400 G1 MT.

Talking about Intel Chipset Device Drivers, I am facing a rather puzzling issue:

1. I clean installed Windows 10 (1703) on the above mentioned machine and Device Manager\System devices looked like this after a complete Windows Update:



2. I downloaded from the manufacturer's site the latest version of the Intel Chipset Support, i.e. 10.1.1.44 Rev.A, allegedly released on Sep 21, 2017...

https://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/sel...0/model/5389536
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp82001-82500/sp82022.exe

3. After having installed the package here is what I got.





Which left me satisfied with the version, but NOT with the date...

Having said that I do not understand how on earth occurred to HP to date a "driver" 18/07/1968, I wonder whether I could simply mod the date to put things in line.

Is it possible at all to get the right date (04/19/2017) and, if yes, is it sufficient to change the date in the relevant .inf files or should the Setup and/or the corresponding .cat files be also modded? How?

Thank you very much you for your attention.

I have already done the needed work for you.

Hello :) Here are my system specs: Windows 7 x64, i7-6850K, Asus X99-A II.

On my mainboard's webpage Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility is in version 10.1.2.19. Here, on this forum, and on Intel webpage the newest version is 10.1.2.89. There are many previous versions of this Chipset set of drivers on Intel webpage but I couldn't find 10.1.2.19 to get a compare.

I have three questions:

Question 1: Is it safe for me to install 10.1.2.89 or I should go with "official" 10.1.2.19? It seems that 10.1.2.19 and 10.1.2.89 is not just "higher number" thing as I unpacked them both (using "-extract" command) and the cat/inf files inside are quite different (BTW: am I supposing right that on my system I should be interested only in files inside "broadwell-de" subdirectory after unpack?).

Question 2: Will such "unusual" date (07/18/1968) for 10.1.2.89 have any bad consequences in future or is it just a visual cosmetic thing?

Question 3:

For users, who
a) want the latest available Intel Chipset "Drivers" (= Intel Chipset Device INF files),
b) don't want to search for them in different packages and
c) don't want to get any bloatware installed (Software installer + not matching *.inf and *.cat files),

---

I've searched my file system for any "not matching *.inf and *.cat files" and the only ones I've found were correct(?) "broadwell-de" ones. Is this your note still valid for Windows 7?
