My device manager is telling me to update:
PCI Simple Communications Controller
SM Bus Controller
I've gone to Intel, which is where the driver is located, and saw where I'm supposed to download the
'Management Engine Driver'
The only problem I have is that there are different ones and they are specific to different Baseboard models
After a long search I found my baseboard model - Board: Dell Inc. 0KWVT8 A00
None of the management engine driver installs say they are compatible with this board. The reason I am being careful about what I download is because I've had BSOD issues with Skype calls and gaming. Hardware has been tested and I have not had any BSOD up until this point
I have 44 Windows updates that were pushed forward along with updating the drivers... that led to BSOD. Reverted back and here I am with 44 updates waiting and the drivers waiting for updates.
I would like to correctly update the drivers and see if I run into any problems. I'm holding off on the recent updates because of the pull back on Windows end.
Any guidance will be much appreciated here.
