    Dell Command Update wants to download and install this driver every time. I have installed it at least five times by now.

    Any suggestions?

    On my last install of Windows 10 I just skipped these chipset drivers from Dell and just let Windows Upate install them. The system devices they cover are now labelled in Device Manager as Mobile 6th Generation Processor Family [...] rather than Intel 100 Series [...]

    This the only difference I've noticed so far, everything seems to run just the same otherwise. I'm assuming this is the config for the MS Signature edition.

    I downloaded the driver and looked at the files in it.

    The culprit I guess is in the "mup.xml" file which says
    "<version>10.1.1.9</version>"

    The "package.xml" file however says "10.1.1.13", but the faulty information in "mup.xml" seems to block the installation. Windows thinks the latest version is allready installed. The driver looks as if it is 10.1.1.9 instead of 10.1.1.13.

    I installed the driver one by one, and just as "ghtop" wrote, they are now called "Mobile 6th generation..." something instead. See picture below in Swedish.

    However, the problem still remains. Dell Update still wants to download and install the version 10.1.1.13 (which is labeled as 10.1.1.9 in "mup.xml"). Until Dell corrects the information in the driver or releases another newer version their update program will keep alerting this?

    I notified Dell support about the issue.
