Windows 10: Dell Drivers showing as updated when they are not!

I have been checking the support website for my Dell XPS8920 for an updated Realtek Audio Driver. The file offered for download as having been updated 31 Jan 2019 is the same file size, file name, version number and even has the same identical SHA-256 checksum as the driver file I downloaded over a year ago. I have observed the same phenomenon with several other drivers offered as having been updated.

Has anyone else noticed Dell Drivers listed on the Dell Support site as having been newly updated, when the file offered is actually much older?

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

Problem with Dell Wireless 5630's driver

Hi Billion,

Thank you so much for your response and suggestion.

I have gone through all the steps you have suggested.

However, the problem still exists.

It says the driver is the best and the most updated one.

Probably, Dell needs to release the updated one compatible with Win 10.

Or perhaps, is there any other solution?

Any help is really appreciated.
