Intel Serial IO Driver for Windows 10 update?

The Driver & Support Assistant tells that Intel Serial IO Driver for Windows 10 needs to be updated. But when I install the update Windows tells that the current driver is newer. Why is the Driver & support Asistant telling me that I need to update this driver? Can I hide it?

Hello TvanH2, 

 

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.   

 

In order to have more information about this behavior, can you please provide the following? 

 

1. Run the Intel® System Support Utility (Intel® SSU) and attach the report generated in a .txt file: 

  • Open the application, check the "Everything" box, and click on "Scan" to see the system and device information. By default, Intel® SSU will take you to the "Summary View".  
  • Click on the menu where it says "Summary" to change to "Detailed View".  
  • To save your scan, click on "Next", then "Save".   

 

2. Take a screenshot of the available updates on the Intel® DSA and attach it to the thread. 

3. Also, please provide a screenshot of the error message received when trying to install this driver. 

 

Regards,
