Intel Killer Performance Suite Error

I tried updating Killer drivers because MS support found driver issue causing BSOD when trying to update Windows 11 to 24H2. Went to Intel site and attempted to install new drivers and got this message “Killer Performance Driver Suite UWD cannot be installed with Wireless Drivers.” It then kicked me out of the installation.

I am clueless as to what this means. Isn’t this supposed to update all network drivers? How do I get around this?

Mike,

I am getting the same error.  Error on install 1603. I have a dell Alienware pc R12. I am only getting 100mbps download while paying for 1 gig.   My onboard killer will not accept the update. It was only working at the slower speed.  Other pcs in the house are running over 600mbps.  All settings are at the factory default.
