The borncity poster reports:

"Inspecting the .cab file, I found an ACPI driver

Intel Extreme Tuning Utility XTU 6.2.0.19

Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel XTU) is a simple
Windows-based performance tuning software for novice
and experienced enthusiasts to overclock, monitor,
and stress a system.

Here's a kid playing with his XTU.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFOwslwebC0

What I notice in the screen, is a relationship [branding]
to Microstar International (MSI). Whether this package
is created by MSI and distributed by Intel, or vice
versa, I don't know. MSI has distributed a utility for
video cards in the past (Afterburner?) for a similar
purpose. All this link shows, is the kinda stuff
MSI likes to distribute/give away. I've seen to
references to MSI so far, but I don't know if
only MSI branded products will be affected or
receive the driver update or not.

So someone getting this proposed update from Microsoft is likely due to
them installing the bundleware (or the OEM using an image to prep
multiple hosts) that comes with the mobo. My guess is this update is
for pre-builts that came with all the bundleware whether the user wants
the extras or not which also means the tools are put in the hands of
noobs that could easily destroy their hardware with overclocking, wrong
voltages, or incorrect fan speed. A loaded gun in every box of Cherios.


My suspicion is that it appears only on enthusiast motherboards.
Ones with a chipset SKU intended for overclockers. Intel marketing
decides which SKUs do what.

Device Manager sees the "INT3394" object and
tries to find a driver for it. I don't have one
of those on my system, which is why Win7 didn't
offer that update when it finally listed the updates.

This is similar to the AsusTek ATK0110 which people
find on their motherboards, and can never remember
what to do with it :-)

Or the Q45 chipsets with Management Engine junk.
Which actually has an element of danger to it. Some
people are getting exposed to that when they buy
refurbished offlease Dell boxes.

I went to this Intel website --

and downloaded, Installed, and did a scan for updates with their "Intel Driver Update

All my Intel drivers were up to date.??????????????

There is a wise old saying: "Don't fix it if it ain't broke."
Do not allow driver updates if you machine is working correctly.

My Apologies to all for not putting the "1" part of the number in.

My box is self built with a Gigabyte S1150 MicroATX GA-H87M-D3H
Motherboard, and an Intel S1150 Core i5 4670 3.4Ghz Quad Core Haswell
CPU, running Win 7 Pro 64bit OS. I deliberately chose the non overclock
CPU as I never overclock any of my boxes.

The XTU software you mentioned would not be much use to me for
overclocking in that case.

My question I guess is, why is MS pushing this as an update when it is
not. If I want a tuning piece of software then I will search out one and
install it and use it.

What in my box would trigger an offer of this "Update". My motherboard
is a Gigabyte not an MSI. Very strange.

For now it gets hidden.
Thanks for all your research

If you have a utility like Lavalys Everest or
similar, you *might* be able to get a listing
of all the PNP (Plug and Play) info. Some
items are passed as ACPI objects by the BIOS.
Your Windows Update item may be offered,
if your BIOS is showing

ACPI\INT3394

That should be the trigger.

I would be concerned if your hardware
was *not* showing that. As then it would
mean Windows Update wasn't working properly.

It would be nice if the BIOS had a setting
to turn off special items like that. Like,
disable the ATK0110 on a couple of my systems.
But, that doesn't seem to be an option with
this identification scheme.

I did a check with devcon on my other system

devcon findall *

and I don't have an INT3394 on it. I notice
Win10 *still* doesn't have devcon.exe on it.
That's the command line version of Device Manager.
Presumably the INT3394 would show up in Device Manager,
somehow.

The 32-bit version of devcon is easy to find.
The IA64 version is not the version for PCs.
The 64-bit version is more difficult to get.
I keep mine on this machine as "devcon64.exe"
so I don't get it mixed up with my 32-bit copy.

The Lenovo laptops get Intel ups from MS all the time.
I never take time to look at them. I just hide them.
My comps are running correctly, no desire to make them run poorly or not run at all.

Do you have any Intel services running?
This machine = zero.
The laptops have somewhere between 4 and 8 running.

No. I downloaded the "Intel update utility" and it showed no driver
updates required.

on another site --

https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/com...ow&sh=a138c89c

I saw this comment --

"I got another one yesterday after hiding the original. There are
theories that these unexplained updates are intended to compromise the
stability of non win10 machines with the intent to make you upgrade.
Seems far fetched but you're not the only one with this story and the
more time that goes by without an official explanation, the more
suspicious it seems."

I does not take long for conspiracy theories to start.
The way Ms has acted in the last year gives one cause for concern.

The third one is "Intel WatchDog Timer" ACPI\INT3F0D

http://www.catalog.update.microsoft....?q=11.0.0.1010

The second one is a puzzle. It's for yellow-bang removal.
The "Include=usbport.inf" part, means it actually calls the
Microsoft driver to finish the job. The only purpose of this
file, is to label USB items in Device Manager.

http://www.catalog.update.microsoft....08%2F19%2F2016

Filename: WellsburgUSB.inf **
; ** Abstract: Assigns the null driver to devices **
; ** for yellow-bang removal and **
; ** brands Intel(R) devices **

The first one is the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. ACPI\INT3394
Previously discussed.

http://www.catalog.update.microsoft....x?q=14.35.1.69

Something tells me you need to disable "update hardware drivers".
The last time I looked, I couldn't find the setting.

Intel System driver update released in March 2016


I have hidden them all until I can get a satisfactory explanation
about what they are for.
My device manager shows that all devices have appropriate drivers
installed ie no yellow flags indicating that a driver is required.

Anyone else getting multiple updates like this


The third one is "Intel WatchDog Timer" ACPI\INT3F0D

http://www.catalog.update.microsoft....?q=11.0.0.1010

The second one is a puzzle. It's for yellow-bang removal.
The "Include=usbport.inf" part, means it actually calls the
Microsoft driver to finish the job. The only purpose of this
file, is to label USB items in Device Manager.

Something tells me you need to disable "update hardware drivers".
The last time I looked, I couldn't find the setting.

Perhaps you have really new hardware, and the
OS is attempting to pull in related material?

Remember that there was initially a plan for Intel
to not support Win7 on their new processors, but
between Intel and Microsoft, they relented and
agreed to provide another year of support. Maybe
these items you're seeing, are a side effect of
this agreement ?

You would think the watchdog would have been there
from the initial install. Whereas the USB one, that's
the one that makes me think it's related to new chipset
or something.

Just a guess,

Paul

Maybe this is MS setting up things to take away support for Win 7 on new
processors. I am running an i5 Haswell processor.
Another thought is that this is a glitch in MS's new updating system,
and I am getting these updates in error.

Mine is a self build desktop
The strange thing is that the latest offering has the oldest date on it.


Do you have any Intel services running?
This machine = zero.
The laptops have somewhere between 4 and 8 running.

No. I downloaded the "Intel update utility" and it showed no driver updates required.

on another site --

https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/com...ow&sh=a138c89c

I saw this comment --

"I got another one yesterday after hiding the original. There are theories that these
unexplained updates are intended to compromise the stability of non win10 machines with
the intent to make you upgrade. Seems far fetched but you're not the only one with this
story and the more time that goes by without an official explanation, the more suspicious
it seems."

I does not take long for conspiracy theories to start.
The way Ms has acted in the last year gives one cause for concern.


I don't get Intel related updates on this machine. The only Intel on this machine
is cpu and chipset.
The laptops are all Intel inside: cpu, gpu, usb, vid, wifi, Ethernet, hddshocks, etc.
They get MS/Intel update requests often.
I have not checked to see what is calling home. Could be all the devices constantly
call Intel or MS for updates.

Hi All,

Two more of these updates arrived this morning --

Intel - Ports - 6/20/2016 12:00:00 AM - 11.6.0.1009
Download size: 23 KB
Update type: Optional
Intel Ports driver update released in June 2016


INTEL - System - 10/3/2016 12:00:00 AM - 10.1.1.38
Download size: 58 KB
Update type: Optional
INTEL System driver update released in October 2016

I wonder when it will stop, or we will get an explanation.

Until then -- they are hidden
