Hi
Thanks for posting!
Until MSI puts Windows 10 optimized drivers up to their product sites, I will stick this topic so anyone else can see what to look for until MSI does their stuff.
New to the forum and thought I'd post this to help anyone else out who is like me and still waiting on MSI X99 motherboard drivers for Windows 10 x64. Aside from the proprietary MSI software, all drivers are actually available at this point or integrated into the release driver set for Windows 10; here is the list of the basic drivers needed to get an X99 machine up and running until MSI posts the approved driver links. I'm running the MSI X99A SLI KRAIT Edition board, but this driver set should apply to just about any X99 chipset motherboard, except for possibly the networking and/or audio. Hope this helps!
Intel's website, go to Download Center, search for the following, then select Windows 10 as the OS:
Intel Chipset Device Software (v10.1.1.8 for NUC boards)
Intel Rapid Storage Technology (v14.5.0.1081)
Intel I210 (v20.2 for Intel network cards onboard)
Intel Management Engine (v11.0.0.1158 driver for NUC boards)
Intel SSD 750 (for those running NVME drives: v1.2.0.1002, plus SSD toolbox v3.3.0)
Realtek High Definition Audio Driver:
This was the tricky one; Windows 10 comes with one that does work, while Realtek's website has a slightly newer version; I had the best luck however with revision 7560, which I pulled from ASRock's site; go there, and search for their X99 WS-E motherboard; the driver is the top option.
For nVidia cards, i downloaded and installed the GeForce Experience app, but not the driver, and disabled auto driver updates. Running with the Windows update driver for now until the dust settles; so far, no issues.
For the rest, including the VIA and ASMedia USB controllers, so far the Microsoft ones have been good; neither chipset vendor has drivers posted at this point.
MSI Utilities:
Command Center v1.0.0.97
Installs and runs fine, though I haven't tried overclocking with it. Fan profiling works, mobile control enabled though the iPhone app constantly crashes on connect. Can't enable SoftAP management.
ECO Center v1.0.0.35
Installs and runs (though I'm not sure what this app is really good for)
Smart Utilities v2.0.0.11
Installs, but errors out on invalid RAID driver version.
Hope this helps!
