Although it is always recommended to follow the rule that ” if something works it is better not to touch it “, nowadays it is absolutely necessary to make exceptions. Especially when we talk about drivers. The drivers are responsible for the operating system to recognize and take control of the hardware so that we can use them. Therefore, it is important to always try to have a relatively new version of the drivers so that they allow us to take better advantage of the performance of the hardware and, incidentally, correct possible errors that they may have. Especially after installing Windows updates, as has happened with Intel.
Since the latest Windows updates , users with Intel processors and chipsets have been experiencing all kinds of problems: from disconnections to blue screens. And while Intel has released some updates to try and address these issues, the glitches have remained in the operating system. Until now.
A few hours ago, Intel published a new update of its drivers for Windows 10 in the form of an “optional update”. This new version has been launched especially to solve all the problems that, for weeks, have affected users with Intel chipsets . Therefore, whether you have experienced some errors or not, it is highly recommended to download and install this new version of the drivers so that we can fully enjoy our system, without problems or failures.
Fixed bugs with the latest Windows 10 Intel driver
This new driver from Intel is mainly divided into two components. On the one hand, this new version updates the Bluetooth driver . In this way, it is intended to address a series of problems when connecting and using certain devices, such as mice, headphones, pencils and more. In addition, a series of bugs that caused random disconnections of certain devices are also fixed. The new Bluetooth driver also solves the problem of the yellow alert that appears in the device manager after taking the PC out of sleep or hibernation.
On the other hand, Intel has also updated the Wi-Fi driver components. With this new version it ends, once and for all, with the problems that affected the connections. Thus, for example, cuts are eliminated when playing streaming videos, and the blue screen of death that affected many users is corrected.
Additionally, Intel has taken the opportunity to implement a number of performance and security improvements.
Download new Intel driver
The fastest and easiest way to download this new driver is to use the ” Intel Driver & Support Assistant ” tool, which, if we don’t have it, we can download it from this link . This tool will analyze our PC, identify the drivers that we have installed and, if there are new versions, it will allow us to download them directly
Additionally, these new drivers may also reach users through an optional Windows Update . In this way we will not have to worry about opening and using this Intel tool, since it will be Windows itself that will download and install it. The update using this technique should be available between today and the end of December.
