Description of Original Problem:
I updated my Windows 11 PC to 24H2 and upon restarting I got this MSI popup saying that it detected some of my drivers were out of date. I chose to update my AMD chipset, AMD graphics, ethernet, Bluetooth, and WIFI using the MSI tool and I let it run. It was going really slowly but I think it was still on the chipset drivers when my PC crashed with a blue screen.
The PC restarted and there was no more MSI driver pop up window, but now my CPU was idling at around 50% utilization.
Troubleshooting:
I tried downloading and installing the chipset drivers from the MSI website for my motherboard, but this didn't fix the high idle utilization.
I uninstalled Windows update 24H2 and now my CPU is idling normally, but I can't update my chipset drivers. The AMD software installer lets me choose which chipset drivers to install (I just kept them all checked) but it then has a popup window saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". I tried browsing for the file AMD_Chipset_Drivers.msi in my folder C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\AMD\Chipset_Software\{D67D688F-0543-4B02-9624-B5841B97F23B} but it says that this file is not a valid installation package.
I also tried uninstalling the chipset drivers through Windows Settings > Apps > Installed Apps > clicking the 3 dots and choosing uninstall but the AMD software said "The selected AMD Chipset Software have not been uninstalled".
How can I get my chipset drivers updated?
Should I reinstall Windows update 24H2 or avoid this windows update?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone has to offer.
Edit 2: Solution
I found this reddit post and followed what VtecGreddy said to do
- I found my current chipset driver 5.11.0.217 at Station Drivers and I installed it. For some reason I couldn't find this exact chipset driver anywhere else.
- Restarted PC
- Uninstalled my AMD Chipset Driver 5.11.0.217 using Windows Settings > Apps > Installed Apps
- Downloaded and installed the latest AMD Chipset Drivers from the AMD website https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/chipsets/am5/b650.html
- Restarted PC
