Intel extension driver updates

Those Intel updates are firmware updates, usually for the Intel Chipset components, The Intel Management Engine and Intel Rapid Storage drivers, if those updates have now installed correctly and are no longer in the updates list, then there is nothing further you need to do.

If any of the drivers re-appear in the updates section with the same version number(s), you can use the official Microsoft Show/Hide Tool to hide the update to stop it continually trying to install.

The numbers 1.2.1001, 3.4.1005, 16.1.0.257, and 3.4.1006 are driver version numbers for Intel extension drivers that were delivered through Windows Update.

Extension drivers are add‑on components to a base driver package. They are typically used to enhance, modify, or filter the functionality of the main device driver (for example, adding extra capabilities or hardware‑specific tuning) and are identified in Windows Update and Device Manager with “Extension” in the name.

Windows Update shows the publisher (Intel Corporation) and the version number, but the numeric version alone (such as 3.4.1005) does not indicate the exact device or feature; that information appears in the full driver title (for example, “Intel Corporation – Extension – 32.0.101.6737”) and the corresponding entry in Device Manager.

Seeing the same version (like 3.4.1005) appear multiple times can happen because device functionality is often split across several related drivers that share similar versioning, so multiple extension components may be installed together.

To see exactly what each of these updates is on a given PC:

1. Open Device Manager.
2. Expand the relevant categories (such as System devices, Display adapters, Cameras, etc.).
3. Open the device’s Properties → Driver tab and check the Driver Version and Driver Provider (Intel).
4. Match the version number to the entries shown in Windows Update history.
