Z170 Extreme7+ Correct USB drivers

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

How do I find correct drivers for my motherboard Z170 Extreme7+ .  Is there a correct driver 
for "NVM Express Controller" instead of using the Microsoft one? 

Is there correct drivers for the USB controllers on this motherboard for Windows 10 x64?
It is using a "Generic Superspeed USB Hub" driver.  

Also the ASMedia XHCI 1.1 Copntroller driver I am using is the windows 8.1 from ASROCK site.
Is there a windows 10 x64 version of this driver?
thanks

	Use the NMV driver from the manufacturer of your drive. Windows 10 should have the correct native driver for usb 3.0. There is a specific driver for usb 3.1 on the ASRock site for our board. You can always use a utility like Driver Booster as well. http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z170%20Extreme7+/index.us.asp?cat=Download&os=Win1064

	Yes I had since found the nvme driver from the Samsung site thanks anyway. The 3.1 driver from the ASROCK site only shows up under windows 7 drivers and not windows 10 drivers. Also the native win10 driver for the 3.0 controller keeps stopping and this is why I was trying to get a specific manufacturer driver rather than use the Microsoft driver.

	What BIOS version are you running? Do you get an error message on boot to desktop? Use Driver Booster to find and install the latest driver.

	Your original post read like you had driver issues, what you have is slow boot up! What usb devices to you have connected? If you have anything more than a mouse and a keyboard it will slow the boot process. I have a wheel connected and it takes >12s, and without <6s. It could be a simple thing like a front panel unit plugged into the usb ports,...I've experienced that. :(

	sorry yes I have both driver issue and boot time issue. I will take a usb stick out tomorrow and see if that helps with the boot time. driver booster was quite good and cleaned up a lot of driver issues but also presented a new problem with the usb 3.1 driver. After updating the usb 3.1 driver when I inserted a usb drive nothing would happen, I reverted back to the windows 7 usb 3.1 driver from the ASROCK site and it started working again.

	Personally, I would NOT install a Windows 7 driver in windows 10. If you have a usb front panel i.e. card reader, usb3, usb2 connected to the motherboard,...disconnect it for troubleshooting. This is a snapshot of my usb tree and all usb connected devices work. Edited by clubfoot - 31 May 2016 at 9:07pm

	well if ASROCK supplied the correct driver for windows 10 for the usb 3.1 in the first place I wouldn't have to resort to using the only one in can get hold of which was the windows 7 version.

	We have the same board so I'm not sure why your 3.1 is not installing properly. As you can see I've enabled usb 3.1 in the BIOS and the Microsoft driver is installed. Did you solve your slow boot issue?
