Windows 10: Windows Update Intel Extension 2043.12.6202

Windows Update Intel Extension fails to update the driver.

The error message in Win Update says the installed version is newer than the one attempted. The Driver update history shows the same driver is installed several times a day!


I have a Lenovo P53 having this issue since November 2020 before Win 10 update and it persists after all updates to Windows 10, version 20H2 now. It has also been appearing with the previous version of the Intel Extension driver update 2027.12.0.6031 and persisting with the current 2043.12.0.6202

I also have installed Intel Driver and Support Assistant which independently verifies and indicates all drivers are the latest and good with the exception of some irrelevant graphics driver which is maintained by Lenovo.

Those were the facts. Now the fiction in my mind could trigger a step: It behaves as if Intel extension drivers installed through Windows update fail to switch/release the previous version and establish the current one in logs or registers.


The issue was also reported here on intel community and kicked to Windows Update team's responsibility.
