Intel Killer Performance Suite won't install

Question

Hi, i have a G5 15 5500 laptop which has a killer wifi card, i keep getting prompted that there is a new version of Killer performance suite to install but every time i install it gives an error saying it cannot be installed because the wifi drivers are already installed.

I have a mess about uninstalling everything killer related and now its still similar, now when i try to install it now keeps uninstalling the original version of performance suite then installing the new one but after i restart my laptop the prompt still comes up saying it needs to update.

This is all from the intel driver update ulility.

There used to be a website that was killernetworking as it had all the apps and drivers to download but recently everytime you go to a killer software lik it just takes you to intlels website.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Regards

James

It is a little confusing right now since companies are changing hands. What drivers work with which drivers may even depend on age of that device. Maybe thy this one if you have not already done so.

You may want to uninstall the device and its drivers completely prior to reinstalling. You don't mention which card you have and it might be helpful to know.

I had exactly this issue with my XPS 13 9305 where the Intel installer kept producing install-fail errors and would not install the update as notified by Intel Driver & Support Assistant.

The link you shared to the installer file worked perfecttly, thanks!

I had a horrible experience when version 3.1122.1105 Killer Performance Suite installed.
My internet started going down intermittently. I did not realize it was the Killer Performance suite that was causing the problems, so I ended up troubleshooting the problem with my cable company then with Dell. Dell ended up sending a technician out to replace my motherboard, but low and behold the problem did not go away. Dell then got back on my computer and ended up removing the Killer software and it resolved the problem immediately.

I had the same issue today on 2 Dell XPS 8940 after updating the Intel Killer Performance suite to latest version 40.25.1125.1924, Intel DSA keeps asking for the same update.

Note that I did not have any issues on DELL XPS 8930, only on DELL XPS 8940. Problem was happening with any different Windows 11 Builds, insider and public. (IE: 26200.7462, 26220.7523, 28020.1362)

To work around the problem, I had to remove the update and reinstall it and make sure that the Killer App was also updated from the Microsoft store. After reinstalling a rebooting, I had to use the refresh on intel DSA to finally show up to date.
