Example text: 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.

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. (Stuff MSI likes to make...) https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner Paul 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. Paul |

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.

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. Paul |

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. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maurice Helwig ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

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 |

Can anyone shed some light on what it may be. I went to this Intel website -- http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/...rt/detect.html and downloaded, Installed, and did a scan for updates with their "Intel Driver Update Utility" All my Intel drivers were up to date.?????????????? What is MS up to......... I now have now received three of these optional updates -- The last arrived this morning -- Intel - System - 6/28/2016 12:00:00 AM - 14.35.1.69 Download size: 1.5 MB Intel System driver update released in June 2016 INTEL - System - 8/19/2016 12:00:00 AM - 10.1.2.80 Download size: 67 KB INTEL System driver update released in August 2016 Intel - System - 3/13/2016 12:00:00 AM - 11.0.0.1010 Download size: 3.0 MB 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. 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. Paul I have Update Hardware Drivers disabled 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.

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. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maurice Helwig ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

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. |

Can anyone shed some light on what it may be. 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 -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Maurice Helwig ~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
