Why on Windows Update/Intel Corporation - Extension is showing 3 old Different Versions of updates?

[Avie1889]

Hi friends

As you can see on screenshot below, my Windows Update is showing Intel Corporation - Extension updating 3 different OLD versions simultaneously while latest version is updated and preinstalled on the system. What's logic behind showing updates of old 3 different versions while latest one is updated and why Windows Update is forcing or showing it on Windows updates information? It's annoying.

As you can see on attached images, DriverExplorer.exe (Git hub) is showing 3 unwanted Old drivers installed in attached image while latest one is preinstalled and updated.

Is it a glitch on Intel side or is it necessary to install old drivers as well? Because my new updated driver is working smoothly and this weird old drivers started appearing on Windows Update and getting installed from past few days despite of deleting them again & again.

I request Intel to look into this matter and stop sending updates of old drivers when newest one is installed and updated.

Regards,

Avie 🙂

Hi,
I tried everything. But it keeps updating old drivers and also keeps new driver. I'm giving up as there's no solution. Those old drivers are provided by Intel to Microsoft so blaming Microsoft on this issue is unfair. You have to coordinate with Microsoft and solve this issue. Even C Drive Intel folder shows 4 different version of same driver is installed.

Hi Avi,

You didn't tried everything. Please download an run the Microsoft Show or Hide Updates Troubleshooter and block the unwanted updates from Microsoft. This is the right way to do it.  More explanation here.

Hi

Check here, 4 different versions installed of same driver.

Even i used Microsoft wushowhide to hide drivers but it keeps coming up on reboot.

Hello Avie1889,

Thank you so much for patiently waiting on our response.

Upon reviewing the most recent SSU logs, it has been observed that the graphics driver version currently installed is 31.0.101.4314, which may be provided by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). It is recommended to proceed with the installation of graphics driver version 31.0.101.5444. Following this update, kindly perform a Windows update once more and let us know the outcome. 

Please note that during the installation of the graphics driver, it is important to ensure that the option for 'Execute a clean installation' remains unchecked.

Thank you and have a great day ahead!

Best regards,

Hi,

I have done what you have instructed. I installed latest Graphics driver, deleted old versions and reboot. But now i have another issue. I am unable to get windows updates as you can see on screenshot attached.

Hello Avie1889, 

Thank you so much for the update.

I just wanted to confirm: did the initial problem with the outdated drivers continually getting installed get fixed after you used the troubleshooting steps we provided? And after that, there was a new problem that prevented you from receiving Windows updates. Is this correct?
