This update is optional, but raises a lot of questions.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ssl-vg03.met.vgwort.de\/na\/5d00a7057e4e4e519c77cf777431d73f\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/>I was informed from a blog reader via e-mail. He did send me the following screenshot showing the update window.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Intel-Systemtreiber-Update\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20170912062054\/http:\/\/k30.imgup.net\/WUpdate81_cca5.jpg\" alt=\"Intel-Systemtreiber-Update\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The update window did not contain too much information about that optional update, but raises a few questions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>#1: Update \"Intel \u2013 System\" has been released, according to the screenshot above at 06\/28\/2015. But it has been offered now, in December 2016 for some Windows systems.<\/li>\n<li>#2: Microsoft doesn't provide any information about that update till yet. The links given in update window points to web sites, where no information about that update is given.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A web search found <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20171116093724\/https:\/\/sysdev.microsoft.com\/en-us\/Hardware\/support\/default.aspx\">this forum entry<\/a>, where somebody asking similar questions. Also my German blog reader wrote, that his update doesn't fit for his system. He wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I like to inform you, \u2026 that I received the optional update 'Intel System 14.35.1.69' shown in the screenshot below on my Windows machine. I've an Intel Core i5 processor with Intel B85 Mainboard from Gigabyte. I 've installed only chipset drivers and Intel Rapid Storage Software. I did not install the Intel Management Engine, because I don't need this functionality (and it's shipped with vulnerabilities). The version shown for this mysterious optional update doesn't fit with the Intel driver software installed on my system.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess that something went wrong at Microsoft's Update Servers. My recommendation is: disable automatic update installation in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. And hide the optional update discussed above. If somebody has additions information, feel free to left a comment.<\/p>\n<h3>Additional Details<\/h3>\n<p>Thanks to a comment given within my German blog, I was able to download the update packe from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catalog.update.microsoft.com\/Search.aspx?q=Intel%20%E2%80%93%20System%20%E2%80%93%206%2F28%2F2016\">Microsoft Update Catalog<\/a>. Inspecting the .cab file, I found an ACPI driver and a PCI driver.
