Intel® Driver & Support Assistant trying to access blocked localhost address

[MarkusMfz]

The Intel® Driver & Support Assistant page is trying to contact 127.0.01, which is blocked on Chrome 127. I have tried whitelisting the address on flag settings, allowing it through the firewall, used the following command prompt commands:

netsh http delete iplisten 127.0.0.1
net stop DSAService && net start DSAService

and it's still not working.

The problem seems to be due to Intel's site not giving an HTTP header explicitly requesting for local address access permission, and thus, the browser blocking the requests.

I hope this gets fixed soon.

Regards, Markus.

Are you using laptop? Also what are you trying to do with Intel® Driver & Support Assistant? Have you tried different internet to access the page?

1. Yes, I am using a laptop.
2. What else am I trying to do with DSA? Updating my drivers of course.
3. Peculiarly, when using Microsoft Edge, it works normally. I have no idea why this is the case, but I'm assuming a few experimental flags or security settings that I've made to Chrome made it block any kind of private network requests from the outside. Nevertheless, these errors shouldn't happen in the first place

Besides on Microsoft edge, have you tried it on Mozilla?

Also, what are the changes you have to your chrome, and have you tried reverting back to default?

Additionally, try re-installing the chrome.

It is not feasible for me to install another web browser, or reinstalling one. I've reset all user prefs for Chrome, and it seems to be working again. Thank you for the help

I see, that's wonderful
