    "a media driver your computer needs is missing" on windows install, despite having media drivers?

    Windows 11 installation issue Hello, I am running into a lot of issues trying to install from a bootable usb, regarding the error message where you need to install media drivers. I've had similar issues in the past and fixed them (related to the VMD drivers for 11th gen intel cards), but it's never been this impossible to solve.

    Steps to reproduce

    1. Boot bootable windows 11 installation process from the official bootable file found on microsofts website
    2. Carry on with the installation process until you're faced with the error message "a media driver your computer needs is missing"
    Now, from my previous experience installing windows, I've had to also install the intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers; and so

    3. Attempt to re-install the proper VMD, and non-VMD drivers from https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...ptane-memory-10th-and-11th-gen-platforms.html

    4. Launch the drivers, now I've tried all variations of the extracted drivers from intels website, still nothing works. I get the same errors

    This has always worked in in the past, but I can not for the life of me figure out why I get this issue now

    THis is what happens

    • Error message repeats, and says that no missing drivers were found

    Things I have already tried

    • Put the driver files on the same usb as the bootable disk
    • Attempted the same process both for intel's drivers on the 10-11th gen cards and the iRST drivers for 11th gen and up cards.
    • Disable VMD functionality in bios, disabled secure boot vice-versa.
    Specs Model no: ZenBook UX325EA_UX325EA CPU: 11th Gen Intel i7-1165G7 (8) @ 4. GPU: Intel TigerLake-LP GT2 [Iris Xe G]

    Thanks again for your help

    It seems like a persistent issue. Have you tried using a different USB port for the installation? This might help resolve the driver recognition problem

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
