I don't understand what you mean about the device manager and WU thing.

Nothing for a normal user to worry about.
It's more for sysadmins in large companies to update and make changes on PC's(, even when the PC is turned off(even BIOS changes), using AMT & vPro.

Chipset driver is not an actual driver, it's a list of driver names.

Sorry I understand this now.

Kind of confusing for a normal user. I mean the Asus XI hero download page simply recommends to install it.

Thanks for the help Cliff. About to call it a night.

MoKiChU has much more recent SATA drivers... There hasn't been an official SATA driver since mid 2019.

I'm guessing he gets the generic versions from Win-Raid forums, and then adds the ASUS oem.inf to it.
