    Hi, I am trying to install windows 11 in my new pc but it fails saying "A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or Hard Disk driver, If you have a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive with the driver on it please insert it now" I have downloaded windows 11 ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 and used Rufus to burn to a 32GB USB stick. I tried using both USB 3 and USB 2 ports Ryzen 7 7700, MSI B650M-P, AITC Kingsman K2 KP800 1TB SSDHow can I solve it?Thank You

    :)

    "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

  3. Media drivers missing during Windows 11 install

    I'm installing Windows 11 on a Dell Inspiron. As soon as I get to Setup, I get the message telling me that a media driver that my computer needs is missing. What are the missing drivers, and where can I find them? What do such driver files look like? How are they named?
