Windows 10: Intel Driver & Support Assistant Update Failure

I'm running A Sony Vaio with Windows 10 Build 1803. Intel HD Grapics 4000 Ver: 10.18.10.4885. When I run the tray app it says there's an update for Intel Driver & Support Assistant. I click on download and I get this

Latest Intel Driver & Support Assistant v. 3.2.0.9


In September 2017, the Intel® Driver Update Utility (Intel® DUU) transitioned to the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA) to improve functionality and enhance support.

What is the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant?

It's a restructured version of the previous Intel® Driver Update Utility.

Improvements allow it to:

• Easily identify drivers installed by Intel and third-parties

• List available driver updates

• Scan for system and device information to assist with customer support troubleshooting

• Host the main interface on the Intel Support website

• Provide integrated support

• Combine several Intel support tools into one location

• Intel® Driver Update Utility, Intel® System Identification Utility, and Intel® System Support Utility

• Provide links to other support information

Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:

• New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
• Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
• Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
• Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.

Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.

1 Intel(R) q33 express chipset family (microsoft corporatione - WDDM 1.0)

2 Intel Management Engine? I hit update drivers on the 2 lines i had for Intel core processors and they said I had the correct one.
Are you suggesting that i do some thing else/ I do not know what Intel Management Engine is.

3. Bios update- i am running HP support assistant again to see if it shows any needed updates. If that finds nothing- and I have ran it b4
how do i step by step update BIOS ?
I have right clicked on most items in device manager (there is no BIOS listing) and all drivers are up to date.
