With all these smokin' hot updates my laptop gets a little warm,
OnFire_784617174.jpg

this is why my prior MSI Pulse UGK burned out it's processor. Using MSI's "AI" in the User Scenario I found out too late the "AI" does not boost/speed up the fans when the laptop gets hot. Example, when updating the NVidia I now set the fans to full blast, the processor still heats up to 165 degrees Fahrenheit with peaks up to 180, just updating it's driver. I no longer use MSI's "AI" in User Scenario at all.
It's 24/7/365 Performance Mode & Cooler Boost when needed. Intel processor protection? Shutdown when overheated? Could be a good idea if it worked. Yeah the MSI Pulse is known to run hot, now days I have both fans running all the time. One can replace $20.00 fans, an soldiered in processor not so much.

MSI Afterburner, tried it once for fan control when I installed a new OS & before I install The Center. It would not function/work at all on my laptop. Removed the junk. I think MSI Afterburner is mostly for desktops, because you can overclock with it.

Next, sorry to here your problems with the Intel Bluetooth exe. I have a 15" MSI GF65 & a replacement MSI 17" Pulse UEK , I never had the Intel bluetooth/Wifi driver updates removing other drivers like what you are describing. But....I did have a similar problem using the Realtek audio driver using the .exe version, NEVER AGAIN. Damn Realtek .exe just about uninstalled everything/anything related to audio in my laptop.

Still re-learning about using .inf's for installing updates. Back in my XP days we used to use .cab installers. Can't find anything like that now or that works with Windows 11. I noticed that someone posted a Realtek update 6.0.9694.1, that has a setup.exe. After my last experience with a Realtek .exe I will wait for the .cab version.
Thanks again for all the updates, your the man.

Notes.
"IMPORTANT! Prior to Upgrading from 23.10.x.x - 23.50.x.x versions to this 23.60.0 driver, the user needs to disconnect all the Bluetooth® devices and unpair all the previously paired devices in the PC. Once upgrade is complete, the user can repair the devices and connect them. Fixes for PCs with Bluetooth® drivers prior to 23.10.0 can be upgraded to 23.60.0."

Who, when, where? Not so, not necessary. Last update, Wifi connected & my bluetooth headphones were connected. Installed both drivers, re-booted & everything was just fine, no extra/missing/greyed out devices in Device Manager. Unpair? I beg to differ. Just an old wives tale.
I had the exact opposite problem in the past, when installing/updating when Wifi/bluetooth turned off & unpaired. Had to uninstall greyed out bluetooth headphones, bluetooth speakers etc... & the Wifi had issues that got all messed up. Then still had to reinstall stuff. Now days I leave everything connected, if the laptop needs to reboot, not a problem. I will stick with what works for me.

I don’t use msi afterburner or any other msi application. When i game i only use cooler boost. 555.99 driver i am using, for me i dont have any issues so far.

If not for MSI Application, which software do you use for Cooler Boost?

Also I'm not doing just for gaming but I'm also working on a CG production which would align with Studio graphic so I assume the current version also works?

Those hot temps i don't have when updating the nvidia card driver. As for the realtek driver, it's true it removes other drivers (nahimic). That one needs to be reinstalled after realtek driver got installed. To bypass this you can extract all the files on desktop. Open device manager and update the realtek drivers 1 by 1 over there WITHOUT the need of using the realtek installer. If you don't know how i can make a video for you ?

Just the FN + Up key on the notebook.
 
Just the FN + Up key on the notebook. ??? My question is, what keyboard shortcut does that point too, aka software /app.
I do use the MSI Center but don't have as a startup program/always running. It's better than the MSI Dragon Center. But I know some don't like it.
MSI GL76 Pulse, Yeah, runs hot, too hot. I never paid attention to this issue nor never/ever checked this nVidia heatup during driver update in the one that burned out the processor. I had that one for a little over a year & never gamed with it, never boosted/overclocked it's specs. I only purchased the replacement /UGK version because I cheaped out didn't want to spend 2 grand or more on the latest & greatest. I got this UGK for 1 thousand dollars & it was only turned on for display purposes.
1 grand was a good price, 1 TB SSD, 3070 nVidia & I added 64 GB of ram. It was only run for a couple of hours. I paid 1 grand for the 15" which only has a 1060ti, 512 SSD, 8 GB ram at that time, now has 32 GB of ram with 1.5 TB of SSD drives. It runs games good but with no Ray Tracing.

Windows 98, 98SE, ME, XP and Windows 7 SP1, ah the good old days when you could modify at will your OS to do everything you wanted it to do!:love:
No I didn't forget Vista:deadlaugh:

Might want to read...

 
Although I always dreamed about owning a Commodore 64, I was not one of the fortunate ones. I was in fact a late bloomer. XP was my 1st encounter. In fact again, a HP/MSI board was my 1st nightmare of Why & oh woe is me. Sucker wouldn't run longer than month before crashing. Re-install the OS with the trusty HP recovery discs to run another month. Did this for a year then built my own desktop. Note, Newegg is not your friend. I finally figure out that HP scripted XP into a no-man's land. It took me, with another computer, to figure this out. Both ran like no tomorrow with XP all by itself on the install. Then it was on to, we hack em & how.
I got a chuckle when someone posted Windows 11 Lite, oh my. Security updates, who needs em & of course they are way over rated, more chuckles. Those days of the wild west of the internet are long gone. I did try to install a stripped down version of 11 myself. But the MSI 15" said, not today, no way Jose.
Then I tried one not so Lite. Again a no go.
It was for the best. Unless one uses it like for gaming, no MP games & never goes online with it. Windows 11 lite, those days are over a long long time ago. I still think Microsoft hired way too many kids on the block. Broken stuff showing up the Event Viewer that never gets fixed. Then go to a Microsoft website for help, god bless you, your gonna need it.
These days it's mostly Registry hacks that work for me and small tiny programs that can do simple wonders. Microsoft Store kept updating junk on my 15" until my 3rd Registry hack killed it. Go figure. In my 17" the off button in the MS Store settings works, but not in the 15". I'm still looking for a Win 11 Lite, nope.
So I went from XP to Win 10. There are still folks/ mostly poor folks using XP, unbelievable.
 
I recently saw an A-volute Nahimic APO4 v4.11.4.0 driver being mentioned somewhere in this Nahimic forum topic though the 4.11.4.0 APO driver package was released specifically for Huawei systems
4.11.4.0 works fine on my system, hardware id matched. The extension is device specific i suspect since huawei is using a different build.

Realtek Audio - 6.0.9676.1 (All OEM) from MS Update - new download link
-same version, different MS digital signature date (this time dated 6/04/2024, original one was dated 5/02/2024)
-so this one is basically a "re-release" with updated MS digital signatures but same version

edit - in fact MS quietly re-released the older 6.0.9652.1, 6.0.9661.1 & 6.0.9673.1 all oem drivers with new MS digital signature dates this July
