Latest Intel Killer Ethernet and Wireless Drivers for Windows 11

I did one final test for my E2600 - I obtained just the drivers (not the Intel installer package) from Station drivers and manually installed the driver for my Killer E2600 NIC - and the same symptoms occurred.

It works perfectly fine with drivers from June 2022 and older, and with the stock Microsoft driver that comes with Windows. Anything newer and the system locks up.

Even with no other Killer software installed.

The only thing I can think of is that I have the NIC (connection) customized with custom DNS info, and a few other optimizations. But my NIC does not like these drivers from Intel at all.

I'm going to try the same thing with the E3100G this weekend and see if it exhibits the same thing.

EDIT: Now that I think on it some more, it's not the customization of my connection either - because it was doing this on a vanilla install of Windows 11 that I did 3 weeks ago, immediately after install and before I had customized a single thing.

I'm loathe to try this package out as every one before this that came out this year breaks my computer.

But, I just cleanly installed this past weekend, so I may try again.

Since I already extensively tested the last build, I'll only test and see if it works or not - not gonna try to force it if it breaks everything, I'll just revert to what I have installed now, report back that it is still broken, and call it a day.

I suspect it is gonna fail, though.

I have this pending to be installed after a restart after I installed the latest driver.
