But it is difficult to find information about what each of these drivers do! Intel Chipset drivers also can't be uninstalled without reinstalling a computer!
But perhaps: I could install some drivers separately. I heard, there is not necessarily need to install Intel Chipset drivers today, Windows already finds needed drivers. Without SMBus sensors may not report an accurate information.
But it does not cause any serious problems not installing these. I Am on clean Windows 10 install right now, with disabled automatic driver updates! And I do not have any problems. However I still want to know what each of these drivers do.
Maybe it could affect something I do not know of! Also I included picture for all drivers Windows update found. Is there any reason I would want to install any of these drivers?
They are going to be installed regardless of what you do or don't do. The Intel Chipset Device Software a. INF Update package does not install any drivers; it simply installs INF files that optimally configure the drivers that were already installed!
It could be argued that not installing this package could, in fact, result in additional lag because the configuration of the drivers might not be up to date.
It is definitely the case if you never enabled Windows Update as the configuration included in the Windows installation image, depending upon what version you use, could be quite stale. Intel does not provide a general-purpose SMBus driver. You get a proper description of the interface and avoid the Yellow Bang but no driver is installed. Now, when software that wants to use the SMBus is installed, it loads its own custom SMBus driver, but this is done dynamically and the driver, barring a few cases where collaboration has occurred, is not available to other applications.
The Sensor software developers have, for years, used a convention that allows multiple of these drivers to exist and be used simultaneously. In most desktop systems, there are few PCIe lanes available in the processor for downstream devices. They are mostly consumed by the support for graphics and regardless of whether you use the iGFX engine or not.
As for the optional drivers that Windows Update offers, they are optional for a reason. You need to read the MS knowledge Base articles that go with these packages; these articles will help you determine if you actually need any of these updates. You are obviously not the type of person who blindly installs these packages. I disabled automatic driver updates! So no drivers are installed automatically for me!!!
Yeah I know what Intel Chipset Drivers do. That they install INF configuration files, so system can recognize yellow devices - so they are working properly. I don't know why they are called drivers in the first place. Yea before installation: there are yellow devices. Maybe they were previously not fully operating, or communicating with the System. But it does something, which causes input lag I have currently no drivers, except drivers which are included in offline Windows 10 installation.
And everything is working fine as far as I can tell. I I also didn't install INF updates in past. So I would rather understand what each of these do exactly! So I was more interested about learning about identity of each driver from the picture and what it does! So I can decide: whether or not to install each of them manually. I don't know, if it is possible to recognize them just from the picture.
I have only 3 yellow devices in Device Manager right now:. However on picture - I uploaded in my first post it is picture of driver update utility - "WuMgr" it shows more than 3 drivers available! I could find these drivers by hardware IDs, if I knew for which devices are these drivers! I have only anecdotes, because I Am not Intel engineer. Installing Chipset Drivers feels always worse on multiple computers now in past But now since I blocked updates, before I connected to internet.
I don't have some drivers, which were Windows on previous installation automatically downloaded. Because I wasn't blocking driver updates before. But I don't want to install all drivers at once and let Windows install some drivers, I won't be even able to find It would still be useful to me, if you could tell me more information about these drivers. How do I find for what devices are these drivers for? By submitting your email, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Hardware drivers are the software that allow your operating system to communicate with your hardware. Windows includes built-in drivers and automatically downloads new ones to make setup easier, but device manufacturers also provide their own driver packages.
Manufacturers write drivers for their hardware and provide them directly to you. You may even get a driver CD containing drivers you can install on your computer. Windows itself includes drivers, and new drivers can be automatically downloaded from Windows Update. Drivers are integrated into Windows itself, which is why the latest versions of Windows will provide the best out-of-the-box hardware support on newer hardware.
If you installed Windows 8. When you connect a device to your PC, Windows attempts to automatically configure it and install the appropriate driver.
Microsoft also distributes updated drivers via Windows Update, so you can get any necessary driver updates from there instead of hunting them down.
The driver packages Windows automatically installs are different from the ones your device manufacturers provide. However, Microsoft provides these drivers in stripped-down form.
However, you may not always want these hardware utilities. The versions of the drivers Microsoft provides are also a bit older. The one exception is graphics drivers, where you do want the latest versions of your graphics drivers if you play PC games. If you install Windows on your PC or insert a new hardware device and it works out of the box — great!
Some device manufacturers may even recommend against installing their hardware driver packages on modern versions of Windows like Windows 8, as Windows already includes the necessary drivers.
This will probably be controversial advice. Many geeks swear by installing all the manufacturer-provided drivers after they install Windows on their PC — motherboard chipset, network, CPU, USB, graphics, and everything else.

It is very likely that there is no Intel driver for your graphics for Windows Doc not an Intel employee or contractor. Copy link. In response to AlHill.
