The file can also be found in the Microsoft Store. To install the driver, follow the instructions below. After installing the driver, do not delete the corresponding exe file.
You can also visit the original equipment manufacturer’s website to install the latest version of the Intel RST driver. It will also contain information on the supported hardware. You should also check the release notes to see if there are any bug fixes and known issues. To install the driver, click Update All.
A message will appear informing you whether you need to upgrade. You can then click Yes to continue. If you encounter any problems with the driver, you can contact Intel Support.
The latest version of the Intel RST VMD driver is 12.7.0.1022. It is digitally signed by Intel and is dated 06/12/2013. However, it is not WHQL certified and can cause endless BSODs. If you experience these problems, you may need to perform a fresh installation of the OS. If you do not have a USB drive, you should install the Intel RST VMD driver.
Disabling the Intel RST VMD driver:
There are several benefits of disabling the Intel RST VMD driver. First of all, it allows for easier installation of images and UEFI features. This feature is a part of newer CPUs and adds hotplugs for NVMe. Second, it supports OS-independent software RAID. Third, it lets you connect more NVMe drives to the CPU. So, what’s so great about this driver?
The VMD driver is included with Intel processors that are built with the 2nd generation of the Tiger Lake. It allows computers with the processor to process data more efficiently while reducing power consumption. It is also installed on some notebooks with 2nd generation Intel processors. However, the driver is not included with Windows 10 or Windows 11.
Installing the Intel RST(e) driver:
If you have an Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) device, you should install the driver to enable its full capabilities. This driver is a necessary part of your operating system and isn’t included in the standard installation. After installing the RST driver, your computer should recognize any drives managed by Intel’s RST technology. The following instructions will help you install the driver. You should download the correct Intel RST setup file for your system. Run the file as an administrator. After the installation is complete, restart your computer.
Run the SetupRST program as administrator, and follow the directions. It will install the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver, and the corresponding user interface. When you restart the computer, you should see that the Intel RST service is functioning properly. If it isn’t, open the Task Manager in the Windows icon on the left side of your screen. Locate the IAStorDataMgrSvc service and double-click it.
In order to install the RST driver, you must install the AHCI driver first. AHCI is an emerging specification that replaces several older specifications. It is designed to take advantage of advanced features in hard drives connected to a SATA bus. This applies to 2.5-in and 3.5-inch mechanical hard disks and SSD devices. However, changing the driver from RST to AHCI may obstruct the advanced features of the hard drives. For example, TRIM for SSDs will no longer work properly if the RST driver is installed.
