Hey Brink

Is it risky to install this driver from Intel's website instead of my manufacturer's (Gigabyte)? My manufarcturer's support page has a way older version of the Intel Management Engine driver, hence me asking.

Hello Johnny, :alien:

It is if you have a supported processor. To be extra safe, you can create a restore point before installing the driver. If it should cause issues, you could do a quick system restore using the restore point to undo it.

Hey Brink

It's not risky (unless it's faulty/corrupted) - but it can be limiting, since the OEM (Gigabyte in your case) - tend to bundle other features with that driver - and those won't work (or be available) - if you use the version from Intel.

On the other hand, there's the possibility to be at risk - if you have an older Firmware that's not yet patched by Gigabyte (Intel can't help you with that - if you ask for support they'll direct you to Gigabyte support page). Here's a tool which shows if your system is vulnerable.


(it's archived - just extract it and use the executable from DiscoveryTool.GUI)

It needs Intel Management Engine Driver to be installed - to be able to work (be it the one from Gigabyte or Intel) - since that's what it will use to access the firmware and check/see what you have installed. If the firmware is patched - it's irrelevant if the Driver is part of an older version - since those known vulnerabilities can't be exploited anymore.

I already have the Intel Driver and Support Asisstant,, been using it since I installed my Asus Z790 Motherboard... seems a little redundant. This is basically the latest version... nothing new... unless for some reason, some users never installed it in their Intel products... I thought i was all up to date, seems like the latest did take this update.
