Like described in the subject, the end of the installation is reported as successful, but Driver & Support Assistant lists as "Installation failed with error code 1000"
None of these worked. It's pretty obvious it was just a status error, the driver was correctly installed on the first try, but the reporting software wasn't correctly signaled. In any event, I just followed someone's suggestion to ignore that specific driver and it somewhat solved the issue.
The Intel Driver Support Assistant repeatedly attempts to install version 4181 after every reboot, resulting in error 1000 and a persistent red dot icon in the Windows info bar.
Intel's programmers need to fix the NPU driver issue. I am running with an Ultra 7 265K CPU, ASRock Z890 motherboard, with all available Windows 11 updates. The Ultra 7 265K CPU is a fine processor. I could not get the latest 32.0.100.4181 NPU driver to install properly,
Under Device Manager -> Neural Processors -> Intel AI Boost, the system detects the NPU. It shows the driver is installed. The Intel driver update app flags the driver with a yellow triangle.
I need to test it with the OpenVINO runtime. I can confirm that I am getting the same "Installation failed with error code 1000" message.
It seems the issue is linked to the latest NPU driver package. Even though Device Manager detects the Intel AI Boost, the installer may fail due to compatibility conflicts or leftover files. Try fully uninstalling the existing driver, then reinstalling using a clean driver package, or roll back to a stable release until Intel provides a fix.
Do you think no one tried this already? Pretty clear at this point, if you read the thread as a whole, most of us tried this - it was/is a bug in their detection process. Then Intel decided to patch it to ignore the error - which didn't do anything but leave some people without the upgrade entirely -
Intel still refuses to explain and fully fix this - they just steam-rolled through it and released another update - which, seems (operative word) to have resolved the issue.
There is NOTHING the end user can do to fix this. Just to make it clear.
So, as mentioned in the title, downloaded the NPU driver, but I have the "error" after reboot. Tried twice, still error. I don't think that manual download will help, so I'll just ignore the update. ROG Zephyrus G16 (intel core ultra 9 185H).
I will wait for the update from mods, but I agree, QA Testers in Intel, You should've at least checked... I get that it's not an easy part, but... it's your job...
I am having the same issue with the NPU driver install. Has anyone come up with a solution? I have tried the direct download suggestion, but it did not work.
Honestly, no. I just turned off the update app. If update wizard is saying that NPU is installed, that means it is installed. I guess that the support app has issues. Currently waiting for Intel mods to say smthing
