Driver support assistant continually tells me that there is a driver update when mine is newer!

six-h — Sun, 22 May 2022 09:13:25 GMT

I'm running an NUC Kit NUC6i5SYH Intel Core i5-6260U Barebone PC which i built in 2016.

I was persuaded by folks wiser than me, to install the Driver Support Assistant, and all has been well since.

However these last few weeks it constantly tells me there is a Graphics driver update to install, and upon attempting to install it, the machine tells me it is older than the one already installed!

Why does this keep happening?

How can I stop it?

Hello six-h,

Thank you for posting on the Intel️® communities.

To have a better understanding of your issue, please provide me with the following:

Do you recall any hardware or software change before the issue started?
What is the Intel® DSA version installed on your system?
What is the driver version the Intel® DSA is suggesting you install?
Have you confirmed that the driver installation process is complete?
Do you recall any error messages?

Best regards,

Jean O.

This is a recurrent problem with this tool...

Don't lose your mind, if you know you already have a newer driver, just disregard the notification and move on...

You can also change the scan frequency on this tool if it is getting too annoying or you can even hide the said notification...

@Jean_Intel No hardware changes and only the usual MS Updates over the past few months.

The DSA has for some reason disappeared from the system tray "Hidden Icons" but is visible in "Progs and Features", it shows as ver: 22.2.14.5 and oddly says it was installed on 30/3/22.

I know it's been on my system for years not months!

because the only thing I can do under Progs and Features, is un-install it, I cant interrogate it for the driver it wanted to install.

I terminated the install on both occasions that my PC told me the driver it wanted to install was older that that which was currently in use, so no, the installation process was not completed and no error messages from DSA, just the notification from my system flagging that the driver was older than that currently installed.

@Jean_Intel Hi again, the tool has shown up again today, Windows sent me a Notification, this time I have copied the web page.

I'm pretty certain that this is the same Graphics driver it has now 3 times attempted to install, and to which the system ibjects on the grounds that it's older than existing!

Here's the screenshot:-

Sorry, I don't know how to make it large enough for you to read easily!

Hello six-h,

Thanks for your response. I appreciate the information provided.

This time, as the Intel® DSA tool is not working correctly, I would like to suggest reinstalling the application following these steps:

Uninstall the existing Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA) tool in the system using the Uninstaller tool. (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19333/intel-driver-support-assistant-uninstaller.html?v=t)
Download and install the latest Intel® DSA version (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html)

Best regards,

Jean O.

Hi @Jean_Intel Followed your instructions and the new version of the tool wants to install exactly the same driver!

Hello six-h,

I am sorry that the issue persists after reinstalling the Intel® DSA.

I want to request some information to have more insight into your issue, so please provide me with the following:

Please, provide me with the files and logs in these Intel® DSA folders. They provide information on all the changes that occur during updates, scans, and initialization of the Intel® DSA.

Open Intel® DSA on the browser of your preference.
- Go to Settings.
- Find the Folder Location field.
- Click on the hyperlink of the location.
- Select the three folders shown and then right-click.
- Click on Send to.

- Save it in the desired location.

Create a report using the Intel®️ System Support Utility (Intel®️ SSU)
- Download the Intel SSU (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18377/25293/intel-system-support-utility-for-windows.html)
- Open the application and click on "Scan" to see the system and device information. By default, Intel®️ SSU will take you to the "Summary View."

Thanks @Jean_Intel Hope I've followed your instructions correctly, ~~files attached.~~

Scratch that!

I've attached the scan but the zipped downloads folder is too large.

I did click on "Submit" in the Support utility, but it took me to a "This site can't be reached" page!

Tried twice more still no joy.

How do you want me to upload the Zipped folder?

Just an update, the newly installed DSA has generated two update notifications (Duplicates I think) for what I suspect is the same driver which my system has already rejected:-

Description:
This download installs the Intel® HD Graphics Driver for Windows® 10 64-bit for the Intel® NUC Kits NUC6i5SY and NUC6i3SY.

Version:
x.x.x.6519Release date:
February 14, 2019Size:
330.16 MB

Ignoring the notifications whilst you examine the data transmitted yesterday.

Hello six-h,

I noticed that on your latest post, it mentioned that the driver suggested is x.x.x.6519. However, as per previous information, the driver recommended by the Intel® DSA was 30.0.101.1339.

Could you confirm which driver version the Intel® DSA is asking you to update?

That is correct, the information was copied and pasted from the web page that the DSA opened, ...twice!

It, (the DSA) has just this minute popped up another notification screenshot attached with insert of Device manager and current Driver details :-

Another update advised half an hour ago, exactly the same driver!

Re: Driver support assistant continually tells me that there is a driver update when mine is newer!

six-h — Sun, 29 May 2022 17:08:54 GMT

...and again!

Re: Driver support assistant continually tells me that there is a driver update when mine is newer!

six-h — Mon, 30 May 2022 16:27:47 GMT

and yet again!

Joan, are you making any progress with this dratted piece of software?

Should I perhaps just delete it and save myself the constant annoyance of these notifications to install out of date drivers?
