Problem with driver STMicroelectronics 3d accelerometer
Hi, I'm new in this forum. I recently noticed in the section "device manager" of Windows control panel an alert on the device "STMicroelectronics 3D Accelerometer"; looking up properties of the device I understood that the problem is driver-related. I tried to download drivers from dell site but there are not compatible ones for my PC (Dell XPS 15 9570). The driver I found were for 9560 and 9550 only but I tried them anyway, onviously they didn't work. I don't really know how to get rid of this problem which I think is causing system interrupt to show up on the task manager. Thanks in advance, Riccardo Barbieri.

@riccardoob
The 3D Accel. is used to retract a Hard Drives Head Stack Assembly in the event of a fall or severe bump.
But since SSD drives have no HSA the program is not needed.
You can go to "Programs and Features" and uninstall the program.

Thank you very much for your answer @U2CAMEB4ME (agree with you about @nyc10036 answer btw, I always try to answer with something that the user posting the question can actually try out). So you say that if I have an SSD I don't need the accelerometer? So I can just uninstall it from device manager

Welcome to the Dell Community @riccardoob
This is the driver that should work.
STMicro Accelerometer for Free Fall Data Protection:
https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=fy0m0&oscode=wt64a&productcode=xps-15-9570-laptop
If you have an SSD installed you do not need this program and it can be deleted.
Best regards,

@nyc10036
I don't feel entitled to anything, I just think that when someone answer in a forum where people ask for help about certain matters, he should do it only if the answer is actually helpful, otherwise he is wasting his and someone else's time. But let's not discuss this further, this type of forum is no such place.

@riccardoob
"helpful" is in the eyes of whoever is looking at it.
This forum is FREE.
If you find it lacking and want to be spoonfed an answer then this is not the place for you.
