[Gil45]

My antivirus quarantied the latest software as Heur.BZC.Boxter.781.1D5964DD.

Also the powershell command was flagged as highly suspicious and blocked

And to answer your question: in both cases I used Intel Driver and Support Assistant. I use Bitdefender as antivirus software.

Thank you for replying. I have tried with the driver released on the 7th of October and this one installs without any issues.
