==========
For AMD chipset and NPU support it’s best to use the official AMD Auto-detect software package available on the AMD support download website.
AMD Software Pro Edition for Workstation is preferred for devices that do primarily creator work and minimal gaming. It’s known to be more stable and offers better real-world performance than Adrenaline Edition (which is heavily biased toward gaming performance). Be cautious and thorough when changing over a device already running Adrenaline to use the Pro / Server software. There are good instructions on-line.
Intel has an on-line (browser-based) Driver Support Assistant to detect Intel hardware and download driver packages. This has been known to be problematic on different browser and jscript versions.
Note that the NPU / AI drivers for both Intel & AMD are available as separate downloads and are required to enable Core Ultra and Ryzen AI NPU hardware on Win11 (NPU not supported on Win10).
Both Intel and AMD publish separate driver packages for motherboard/chipset/cpu, networking, and native disk/storage controllers.
The Microsoft Windows App SDK stack is required for any OS or application interaction with AI-related (NPU, etc) hardware. Application installs and Windows Update will generally install and otherwise take care of the App SDK packages. This has failed from time to time and it’s pretty easy to get the x64/x86 driver packages directly from Microsoft and force the install.
==========
Intel has retired and frozen support for older 600- and 700-series integrated graphics (iGPU) on Core 5th Gen to Core 14th Gen CPU products. The driver packages for those obsolete iGPUs have been moved to a quarterly release cycle which will deliver only important bug fixes and security updates. NO significant functionality or API additions will be added to these older discontinued products.
UHD / IGP Drivers for 600-series iGPU on 5-10 gen CPU; gfx_win_101.2145
UHD / IGP Drivers for 700-series iGPU on 11-14 gen CPU; gfx_win_101.7088
In Dec 2025, Nvidia retired and froze support for any GPU older than Turing (meaning Pascal and older, GeForce 1050 Ti and older). So if your GPU is based on Pascal, Maxwell or Volta, you’re pretty much frozen at level WHQL 582.78. NVidia release notes and their on-line driver search tool have been updated and are the only authority worth referencing for older cards / GPUs.
Nvidia has expressed plans to drop the game / studio delineation of driver releases and thus put to an end the needless arguments and misunderstandings over what those terms mean (Nvidia releases are most often WHQL with the rare exception of very clearly marked beta or hotfix drivers).
Nvidia and Intel both recommend that control panel applications that may be available from the Microsoft Store NOT BE USED in favor of the version packaged with each driver download.
Note that Intel will often rapid-fire beta non-WHQL graphics drivers to provide support for specific DX12 gaming environments on Arc/Xe graphics.
It is NOT NECESSARY to download or attempt to manually install Microsoft ONNX runtime libraries. These are intended for developers to include in their finished drivers or software and are NOT intended for end-users to copy or otherwise manually manipulate. ONNX runtimes will be included in end-user software and device drivers by the original developers when and where necessary. The only way to reliably seek out updates for these behind-the-scenes libraries is to obtain updated software or drivers from the original sources.
