Intel RST driver concern
An Intel RST driver already downloaded through WU on my desktop with a Z370 chipset.
Device Manager nags with a pop up message that Intel 300 Series Chipset SATA AHCI Controller is ready to install the driver
A probable cause for raised concern was found on Win-Raid :
Attachment 331724
this page was where the screenshot was taken on Win-Raid - Section I, download links from the v17 platform
I'm certain the driver will install in AHCI mode without issues
Intel RST vs Windows AHCI drivers. (post #5)
But its the reports of the drivers overtaking the management of the M.2 PCLe NVMe on the only system drive available that raises concern. I don't even know for sure what "completely overtaking" means. How great of a concern is that?
. . . aside from creating a system restore point, anyone have any suggestions?

Ok. So within about maybe an hour and a half, the warning was taken down which I captured in a screen shot.
The link I posted to Win-Raid will take you to the page. I know it was the same page because I had it bookmarked before I saved a screen shot. I'm still searching through the Win-Raid forum for posts #2200 up by 100PIER and Frame for an explanation.
Odd... now I'm curious why the warning was posted in the first place

Actually, they only moved the warning to the "important remarks" section.
It's just as well anyway because this wasn't the proper venue to ask here
Hopefully he can clue me in on his forum with some details.

Regarding reports of incidents of "complete overtake" of the management of all M.2 PCLe connected non-RAIDed NVMe SSD's and v17 and v18 platform Intel RST drivers as noted under the 'important remarks'.
The meaning of the warning was confirmed as being taken out of context and mis-interpreted and is not to be implied to be all inclusive of all M.2 PCLe connected non-RAIDed NVMe SSD's and their respective manufacturer drivers, but rather to M.2 PCLe connected NVMe SSD's and Samsung drivers.
