Windows 10: DELL 9560 chipset controller

I have 2 identical XPS 9560 computers with SSD drives.


One machine is stable and the other is crashing 2-3 times per day with BSODs.


The issue seem to be with the SSD management driver.


I realised the stable machine is using Intel Chipset/PCI RST Premium Controller v15.7.5.1025 2017-08-10 (yes 2017)


whereas the BSOD fanatical machine is using Intel Chipset SATA RAIT Controller 15.44.0.1010 2018-07-02


Dell diagnostic tool is saying that I have the latest driver on the BSOD machine but Intel's diagnostic tool is suggesting

Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) User Interface and Driver for Intel® 7th/8th Generation Platforms
16.8.0.1000
15.2.2.1030


Should I install the latest version from Intel or try to find the oldest version?

Dell XPS 15 9560: missing drag lock for touchpad

System: Dell XPS 15 9560, WIndows 10 Home

When using the touchpad, I like to be able to perform multiple drag operations, without having to double-tap to invoke the drag operation each time I lift my finger. For the last 15+ years there has always been an option called "drag lock", that allows
the drag to operate as follows:

• The drag operation is invoked by double-tapping on a draggable object
• The object is moved by sliding one's finger
• If one's finger is lifted, the drag operation will NOT terminate, and more drag operations are possible
• The drag operation is terminated by another double-tap

I simply can't find an option for drag lock in the Windows 10 touchpad settings. Please PLEASE tell me there is some way to enable this feature!

Chipset Database

Another category I would be sure to add is whether or not it supports Hyper Threading.

This may be jumping the gun a bit *Big Grin , as you are still working to establish a solid format for the database, but here goes a suggestion to list in the DB:
This is a very versatile chipset, especially for all the people looking to upgrade, but keep some older components, with the whole conroe craze etc. A true "stepping stone" chipset:

Basics:
VIA PT880 Ultra
it supports Core 2's, P D's, P 4's, Celeron D's (conroe, presler, smithfield, prescott, cedar mill)
it supports AGP & PCIe graphics
it supports both DDR & DDR2

 

Dell xps 9560 Touchscreen not working

I have a dell xps 9560 with a 4k touchscreen display. The touchscreen is not working currently and trying troubleshoot does not solve the problem. Going into device manager and looking for HID complaint touchscreen doesn't work since that isn't even in
my device manager. Everyone's response to this is just try troubleshoot or device manager but no one has an answer outside of those. How can I reinstall HID complaint touchscreen in my drivers? Please help, everyone always responds with the same two answers
that do not work. Thank you very much.
