MSI Laptops Drivers

nVIDIA GeForce Driver updated to v388.71
SteelSeries Drivers will not be updated in the OP as it's best to stick to the official ones from MSI and disable the SteelSeries Engine Automatic Update notification.

 

No Problem, I only just saw it myself.

 

Hi @Phoenix

I just installed a new official windows on my GT73vr but I cant seem to find windows driver foundation anywhere in services.

 

It's not there anymore in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update so just ignore that step.

 

I am having some difficulties with installing the vga driver. It keeps giving me "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software" message. I tried both the driver link above and the driver from the msi page.

 

It seems that Windows is automatically recognising and I stalling the gtx 1080 driver . Which is preventing the vga driver from installing . Any ideas ??

Update: nothing seems to be able to detect my integrated intel vga... it is not showing any where

 

1) basics of using Windows, after formatting, you shouldn't connect to the wireless network otherwise the moment you boot Windows update will install generic drivers and mess up your laptop big time. So you need to install the latest drivers first then only go online.

2) yeah obviously you can't install the Intel graphics driver because it's not there, you need to press the 2nd button on the right to switch GPUs then only you can install the Intel Graphics driver. It's the button right below the power button. If it isn't doing anything for you, you have to install SCM first then reboot for the buttons to work.

 

I only connected to the Internet after failing to install the intel VGA...
I had no clue I had to turn off the GPU before I install the intel vga driver.
Thank you for the help, I think I am reformatting

 

Best way to do this bro

 

Edit OP with correct info bruh or you will get the same Q again, and more than one time

Realtek ALC899 HD Audio Driver updated to v6.0.1.8273 with support for Windows 10 RS3 (Fall Creators Update)

Nahimic updated to v2.5.14

 

@Phoenix
Let me start by thanking you for all the effort and time you have been spending. I have another asus laptop which I formated a couple of times, and it took me hell lots of time to learn how to find and install the correct drivers in the right way. especially that their driver support was really **** back then ( not sure how it is right now).
The driver instructions here are great, the only problem I faced was with installing the VGA and which turned out to be really simple and obvious.
I would recommend one small (for the noobs like me) addition to this tutorial, and this is turning off the GPU before installing the intel vga drive, and then turning the gpu back on before installing the invidia vga driver.
o' and one more thing, I was trying to follow the steps for creating a bloatfree windows ISO and it costed be hell lots of time to finally find out that it is full of problems, so I fully understand why you stopped doing that. Maybe the bloatfree video could be deleted ? just so newcomers would not go through the hassle and then ending up with a faulty iso.
Again, many thx... maskkour as they say

 

Thank j00 for your f33dback.

I will add a note to the installation of the VGA Drivers to help others realize that they need to switch GPUs first.

Secondly, just last night I tried creating a new ISO using the latest MSMG toolkit v8, I wasted a whole day creating the ISO, installing Windows, configuring it, installing drivers, then when I went online and tried to do Windows updates, they all failed. I give up on this toolkit. Microsoft has messed up Windows 10 so bad that it's never gonna work anymore to remove the stuff we don't want from Windows the way we did before. I will also delete the MSMG Toolkit video to save others the trouble.

 

It's a reason the author of Classic Shell threw the towel. Win 10 is a service, not a predictable OS as before. All too much job fix the ****y that bloom at least 2 times a year.

 

the drivers installation order list has been edited in the OP and the MSMG Toolkit video has been deleted as per Zloo's request. I am always open to feedback provided it makes sense.

 

Well you have a license for NTLite, why not de-bloat W10 using NTLite?

 

please do not discuss other topics in this drivers thread. NTLite sucks, it's buggier than MSMG

 

Where is it?

 

I have it hosted here.

 

removed due to a bug where if you set the option to disable the touchpad if a USB mouse is connected, even after disconnecting that USB mouse the touchpad doesn't work. so I posted the latest version that doesn't have that bug

 

Intel Chipset Software updated to v10.1.1.45
Realtek S5250 Card Reader Driver updated to v10.0.16299.21304
ENE Radio Switch for Airplane Mode updated to v1.1.5.0
Nahimic updated to v2.5.19

 

Did Intel fix the strange date bug on inf files?

 

I tried that driver and the issue remains. I don't feel like digging through device manager and what not to attempt to fix it, as it's not really a huge deal since I can use Fn+F3 to disable the trackpad at will if needed.

 

hang on, I have a new driver from MSI

Synaptics TouchPad Driver v19.3.4.191

 

@saturnotaku

Just checked this driver and it doesn't have the bug where when you plug out your mouse the TouchPad remains disabled.

Be brave...be like Phoenix

 

Thanks for the great info for drivers, has been a great help for me and my msi lappy

 

you are most welcome

 

I'll give it a shot. Maybe it's an issue with Corsair Utility Engine and/or the fact that my keyboard and mouse are connected to a powered USB hub rather than being plugged into the laptop itself. I'm sure a clean Windows install would resolve it, but this is such a minor problem as not to be worth the effort.

 

@saturnotaku @Papusan @Falkentyne @Shehary

I don't know what's up, but because there were a lot of new driver updates recently, my OCD alert kicked in and I restored back my image to the point before installing any drivers and installed all the new drivers and now my machine feels much snappier, I don't know what is responsible for this, my installed software and Antivirus are exactly the same. one of those drivers could be it. Either the Intel Chipset Software 10.1.1.45 recently released or the fact that I didn't install the latest nVIDIA Driver from nVIDIA but got the one from MSI 388.16 but my taptop feels much snappier now I could feel it, everything is snappier ranging from installing apps, opening apps, minimizing/maximizing windows. I love it! Be snappy....be like Phoenix....

 

Don't belive in Santa Clause or the well known Placebo effect A clean new start will always make you feel fly, bruh

 

I know https://www.intel.com/software/chipset-software I only install *latest* Chipset when I do a clean new Windoze Pastel Trash install.

 

So I have been by the placebo effect heh?

 

You wasn't saved by Intel Maybe j00 feel effect because you didn't install the latest nVIDIA Alpha Driver Trash from nVIDIA New ain't always better.

 

yeah I figured for once, let me try using the MSI driver maybe it's more optimized for MSI taptops and perhaps it might prevent this:

 

Yees, it will probably help MSI. I'm sure MSI don't want more RMA than necessary

 

TIL intel chipset drivers don't contain an actual driver

:V

my whole life is a lie

 

I was investigating the trackpad issue a bit more. With the USB hub where my Corsair mouse and keyboard are connected turned off, device manager shows the trackpad along with two phantom "HID USB input device" entries. Uninstalling those extra devices, leaving only the trackpad, results in the "disable when external pointing device is connected" checkbox working correctly. It's also fine when turning the USB hub back on, however the next time I turn it off, those two phantom devices re-appear, which causes the Synpatics control panel to think that there are extra USB devices present. At this point, I don't really care enough to engage in any further diagnosis, but there's probably some sort of conflict between the trackpad, the USB hub, and/or Corsair's hardware and software. As long as Fn + F3 works as expected, that's good enough for me.

 

stop using the trackpad. problem solved

 

I'm simply leaving the box unchecked because 95% of the time I'm using an external monitor, along with the separate keyboard and mouse, so I'm never touching the trackpad. The times those things are not connected, I have the machine in my lap, which necessitates its use. In the extremely rare event that I am using the computer on a desk with its built-in screen and keyboard and a USB mouse, I would just use Fn + F3 to disable the trackpad - easy peasy.

Thank you for your contributions as usual.

 

Hi,

I having a very weird problem. I'm overclocking my MSI GT73VR-7RE to 4.2 in the BIOS, not using Dragon Center and I didnt install it so far. The weird thing is that everything runs fine, everything is stable, and sometimes, the BIOS just goes to the default 3.9Ghz without anything happened. I only detected that by looking on CPU-Z or HWINFO. Then I go back in the BIOS, restore my profile with 4.2 OC settings, and so on..
What is this happening?

 

Make sure you also uninstall Intel XTU

 

Hi don't have Intel XTU installed, but the service Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility Service is there, but I have it disabled.
How the XTU service was installed, I cant understand.... Maybe in the Intel HD Graphic driver?

 

no if you had Dragon Center previously installed, it installs XTU so even if you uninstall the Dragon Center, XTU is still there taking over your BIOS settings

 

Yes, I had Dragon Center installed before. Even with the Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility Service disabled it can generate this problem? How can I uninstall it manually since Dragon Center doesn't uninstall it automatically?

 

Phoenix Software Updates

Download Autoruns from it then unzip it, then run Autoruns64.exe as admin

now in the filter box on the top left, type XTU and right click then delete all the XTU entries then reboot and set your BIOS options again
