![]() ![]() Unless, the chipset software mentioned in your link and the one in my link aren't one and the same. I think it's time to take my curiosity to other motherboard manufacturer subs and ask there if they also have an uninstaller on their Intel Chipset Software. Here is another link you might find interesting: Īccording to Intel, there shouldn't even be an uninstaller, and yet with Asus there is. What a coincidence! Actually, I had already checked Intel's site before I replied to you. Zmeul, do you know what purpose the Intel Chipset Software app actually serves? That's what I wanted to know. It has no executable, search can't find it, and therefore I also have no idea where it's even installed (control panel doesn't say either). It's not a Service and it's not an app you can run either. It just uninstalls the seemingly nonexistent app and that's it, so I got curious and made this thread. It makes sense that it doesn't freeze or ask for a restart when you uninstall it because like I said it doesn't affect the drivers it already installed in the device manager. Because when you uninstall it, neither does it affect the actual drivers it initially installed in the device manager, nor does it do the same device reconnection or ask for a restart. I was just curious about the seemingly useless Intel Chipset Software app that appears in the control panel. Obviously they are important drivers, and yes I am "leaving the Intel stuff where it is", that's why I installed it in the first place. That's why the installer warns that it's strongly recommended not to be running other programs during the installation, I'm guessing because that "hiccup" at the end could potentially crash whatever program you were working with and you might lose any unsaved work. Possibly due to that being the moment it updates/overwrites the device manager's list. ![]() Since the chipset driver is related to the motherboard's connection to the OS, it's probably because it reconnects everything with the new drivers in the moment the installer finishes, as the sound also cuts for a second, it's not just the monitor. I simply want to know what purpose the "ghost app" Intel Chipset Software serves. I am not experiencing any issues with the installer or any drivers. P.S: Does anyone else's lose monitor signal for a moment then get it back (the Windows sound notification for device disconnection/reconnection plays but with a cut - basically the sound also cuts in that brief one-second moment, so it seems like a temporary general Windows freeze) when finishing the Intel Chipset Software installation? Though it's most probably because in that moment it updates/overwrites a long list of stuff in the device manager. I just got curious about the strange existence of the app so I did a few tests prior to that, that's how I'm writing all this.) (Note: In the end I re-installed the software as it was originally and left it alone. Well, it probably is safe since the uninstaller is an official Intel program and straight-up tells you the uninstall was successful without any warnings. So I wanted to ask if anybody knows just what that software is and if it's safe to uninstall it. As a result, it doesn't get a hiccup (read P.S) nor does it request a restart. Uninstalling it also does not affect the drivers it already installed in the device manager or affect performance in any way - everything stays as is. Control panel doesn't show where it's installed either. It neither comes up anywhere if you search for it even via the taskbar, nor does it install any icons or Services anywhere. This app is just named Intel Chipset Software but it's not an app you can use. However, it also installs an "application" which can be found in the control panel (add/remove list), but nowhere else. So, basically if you have missing driver errors like PCI Memory Controller and Bus Controller in the device manager, installing the Intel Chipset Software driver will resolve that and give you a huge list of new devices in the manager. Really curious about ASUS' Intel Chipset Software installation, the driver for ASUS motherboards. ![]()
