Updating XE Drivers

[Len99]

I have the Intel Driver Support Assistant installed. When I'm advised of a driver update I use the assistant to download and install. Every time I've done this the update fails and I'm then invited to install via a reboot - this normally works.

However, once the driver is installed it removes/corrupts my Realtek sound drivers and I get a message saying 'no playback devices'. I then need to re-install Realtek. 

Am I doing something wrong, is there a setting I need to change, or is it a bug?

I'm using Windows 10 pro which is up-to-date.

Thanks.

So the Intel support engineers can have more information about your system, Please download and run the Intel System Support Utility (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility-for-Windows- ) for Windows. Select all data categories and then have it generate a report. Next, have the tool Save the report to a text file (don't try to use the Submit capability; it doesn't work). Finally, using the Drag and drop here or browse files to attach dialog below the edit box for the body of your response post, upload and attach this file to the response post.

Hi David,

I checked out the BIOS using Asus EZ Update. It shows I have v0707 and says there is no update.

I followed the manual driver update route and this seems more robust, Additionally, I'm hoping it's also solved my other issue and stopped Windows Update over-writing with an out-of-date version.

Many thanks,

Len

We're glad to know the information helped, hopefully it will help other community members. As per OEM website, the latest BIOS is 1007

• https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-Z590-A/HelpDesk_BIOS/

You can confirm with Asus which one is recommended. To stop the automatic driver (Windows*) updates you can check with Microsoft directly. Let us know if you have any questions.
