Windows 10: Windows Update and Intel Rapid Storage Tech incompatibility

Windows Update can not complete the latest update because my Intel RST driver is a lower version than the latest update requires. I went to the Intel driver site and later versions are available for download. However, the Intel site cautioned that best practice dictates downloading from the computer manufacturer's site as modifications to their 'generic' drivers are often made by hardware manufactures. I have a Dell Laptop. I went to the Dell downloads site but the highest Intel RST driver available for download was a version less than the version required by Windows Update. Windows Update requires version 15.5.2.1054 or higher. Again, nothing that high or higher available on Dell site. My system is Windows 10 64 bit.

I would appreciate any advice on how to proceed.


Thank you,

Jon

Intel Rapid Storage Technology

Hi Steve,

Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

This issue might occur when the drivers are not updated properly.

I suggest to download the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver from manufacturer’s website and install it.

Refer to the below link:

Download Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (RAID) for D34010WY, D54250WY

Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Windows 10 and Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology Version 12.9.0.1001

There are updated dedicated Intel drivers available for Rapid Storage Technology (formerly Matrix Storage Manager).

Your Intel RST software version is 12.9.0.1001 and is not listed as compatible for W10 - the current version is 14.8.0.1042 and is certified as W10 compatible.

You can check for Intel drivers automatically at Drivers & Software it can scan your machine and suggest drivers for download, although Intel RST requires a
manual installation the first time on a fresh OS.

This universal file (32 & 64 bit) will also install the management console.
