Technical Assistance Required - Driver Installation Failures

[DRTYLER63]

Dear Intel Support Team,

I am contacting you regarding persistent issues with driver installations on my Dell XPS 17 9730, which is hindering my work efficiency. I have experienced multiple instances where installations via the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant, as well as direct installations, have failed.

The problems are characterized by unexpected error messages and abrupt halts in the installation process. Notably, the Intel® Processor Identification Utility Version 7.1.8 encountered an "unexpected condition" with the error code 2147213460, prompting me to download a new version, despite multiple attempts, the issue persists. Furthermore, attempts to install the Intel® Graphics Driver 31.0.101.5333 result in a "Download Failed Unexpectedly" error. Complicating matters, my antivirus software, McAfee LiveSafe™, has identified and quarantined files during these processes, citing virus threats.

For your diagnostic convenience, I have attached the following documents:

1. A screenshot of the Intel® Processor Identification Utility error.
2. McAfee antivirus alerts and actions taken.
3. A screenshot showing the "Download Failed Unexpectedly" error for the Intel® Graphics Driver.
4. A detailed system report.

Relevant system information:

- System Model: Dell XPS 17 9730

- OS: Windows 10.0.22631 Build 22631

- Processor: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700H, 2400 Mhz, 14 Core(s), 20 Logical Processor(s)

- Drivers Attempted: Intel® Processor Identification Utility 7.1.8, Intel® Graphics Driver 31.0.101.5333

- McAfee Alert Details: Threat name tiBE17C443BB47, File quarantined: DM.dll

I have full faith in Intel's commitment to customer satisfaction and your ability to assist with this situation. Your prompt and effective support in resolving these critical installation issues would be most appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance, and I await your prompt response.

Best regards,

Dr. Gregg Milligan

Is there a solution for this? Arc & Iris Xe Graphics driver has never successfully downloaded.

Hello DRTYLER63,

Thank you for posting in our communities.

Please follow the troubleshooting steps outlined in this article for the driver issue that we have when updating with Intel® Driver & Support Assistant:

• Failed Unexpectedly When Updating Graphics Driver in Intel® Driver & Support Assistant

And as for the Intel Processor Identification Utility, that is unable to run with McAfee Live as the antivirus software is preventing the utility from starting.

The issue will be fixed in the next Intel Processor Identification Utility version, but as of now, you may temporarily disable McAfee Live Scan before running the tool to avoid the error.

Thank you, and have a great day ahead!

For crying out loud..

If it doesn't work via DSA go to techpowerup.com and get your drivers from them, not only you will get the latest ones but they have all drivers for modern intel gpus since ages ago whql and betas too.
 if techpowerup.com isn't your cup of tea you can also get the drivers from intel's driver download section on their website.

Hello Carmona,

Thank you for the additional guidance! Sorry for being so technically challenging. 😞

If Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (DSA) continues to pose challenges, I'll certainly explore techpowerup.com for the latest drivers. Your suggestion is duly noted, and I appreciate the assurance of finding comprehensive options there. Additionally, I'll consider Intel's driver download section as an alternative if needed.

Your assistance is invaluable, and I'm grateful for your support!

Best regards,

Tyler
