Intel has released updated Wireless Bluetooth and Wi-Fi drivers for Windows 10 customers to address known issues causing blue screen of death errors and Bluetooth devices to lose connection or stop working.
First of all, the new drivers address Windows 10 stop errors, yellow bang warnings in Device Manager, as well as random disconnections while playing online videos caused by Intel Wireless adapters with faulty drivers.
The full list of supported products and driver versions released by Intel to fix these issues is available in the Wi-Fi and the Wireless Bluetooth drivers' release notes.
Intel also addressed 95 security vulnerabilities as part of last month's Patch Tuesday including critical ones affecting Intel Wireless Bluetooth products and Intel Active Management Technology.
Microsoft has also released a batch of Intel microcode updates for Windows 10 20H2, 2004, 1909, and older versions to address newly discovered vulnerabilities in Intel CPUs.
