Intel Driver & Support Assistant resulting in an endless Uninstall and Install

[Kjdspike]

I have had a notification saying that Thunderbolt™ 3 DCH Driver for Windows® 10 for Intel® NUC (Version: 1.41.10540.0) needs installing. But when clicking on install it prompts to either uninstall or close. If you uninstall it seems to install again and prompt again with the same message the next day. Any ideas.

Hi @Kjdspike 

1. There is currently a problem and the TB Driver can't be updated using IDSA. You can stop this update request from IDSA. Click on the arrow, near the "Thunderbolt..." and you will get possibility to stop this update check. See the attached image.

2. Download the driver zip file and unzip it in your NUC. Read the Installation Instructions.txt how to install manually the inf files.
