Intel has just published new drivers for several of the brand’s Wi-Fi cards. They fix some pretty annoying bugs like blue screens of death. Don’t wait to install them if you have an affected model.
THE components of your PC do not work on their own. So that they can interact with Windows and do what they are asked, they need programs called driversOr pilots in the language of Molière. And like all programs, you need to update regularly to improve stability, security and fix bugs. Generally, this is transparent to the user as long as Windows takes care of it. But sometimes it’s better not to wait and take care of it manually.
