Although Intel has chosen not to provide official drivers for Windows 7 for the NUC6CAYH there is anecdotal information on the internet that all hardware can be made to work with no issues left in Device Manager. Apparently all drivers needed exist, it's just that they are not (yet) listed comprehensively and (made) available to the owners of the NUC6CAYH.

I can only guess to the reasons for this choice. Maybe Intel felt getting all the drivers WHQL certified by Microsoft was too... ??? for an OS getting near to the end its official support?

Personally I'd be willing to settle for (some) non-WHQL drivers. As long as they work. Surely Intel has enough people in its employ with more than enough experience in making or assembling drivers that offering a complete set of drivers isn't too much of a problem. Maybe mention that prolonged support for these drivers cannot be guaranteed for the above reason. I think I wouldn't be the only one who'd appreciate being allowed our own free choice of which (still under active or "extended" support by Microsoft) Windows version we'd prefer to use. I'm also not the only one with reservations regarding Windows 10.

Please don't engage in a "Why not Windows 10?" discussion. It's off-topic here. This is about getting Windows 7 to work. There are enough other places for such a discussion.

I've gotten quite far finding working drivers. It's just that the reports about getting it all to work are a tad incomplete and I'm still left with a few of issues in Device Manager.

The initial problem to get Windows 7 installed on this device with only USB 3 ports can  be solved with the "ASRock Win 7 USB Patcher" with which an installation medium can be made that supports USB 3, which Windows 7 doesn't support natively. After the installation the most important drivers can be used from sources like ASUS, Dell, Lenovo and Intel itself too. If there is enough interest I can give some additional information and links.

At the moment I have a few issues left and I hope people can point me to the right drivers to get these last few parts of the hardware to function properly.

In the "Other Devices" section are 4 items left with (!).

PCI Data Acquisition and Signal Processing Controller

I understand this to be the: "Intel(R) Serial IO I2C Host Controller".

And in the "Network Adapters" section there is one (!).

Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)

If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system.

Somewhat unexpected. I installed drivers for this. I thought things like interrupt sharing were resolved quite some time ago. I hope and kind of expect this will be resolved by the installation of one of the still missing drivers that will take care of this.

This forum seems the most logical place to address this issue Hopefully this community can offer some solutions. A complete list of working drivers would be nice. Getting Intel to make these available on their site would be even nicer.

Thanks in advance all.

I bought an Intel NUC7i5BNB like a 3 months  which came with an Optane memory, I install and all worked fine. Two days as I was installing some windows and intel updates it rebooted with "A bootable device has not been detected'' I went to the BIOs and changed to RAID and it booted after repairing the windows. Now I can not detect the Optane on the windows at all. its not on device manager

On the Bios when I remove the Optane Memory Card I see the SATA Mode changing  from 'Intel® RST and System Acceleration with Intel® Optane™ Technology’ to RAID

the Optane Software shows me

My INET BIOS has nowhere to reconfigure Rapid Storage

Please Help

Hi all,

We are aware of this issue and a bug was opened a couple weeks ago.  The developers/engineers are working on finding a solution and I will post any updates and/or solutions here.

Thank you for your patience.

is this: Download Intel® Management Engine Corporate Driver for Windows® 10 for Intel® NUC Kit NUC7i5DN and NUC7i7DN  for the NUC7i7DNHE?

If yes, what is it good for?

Thank you!

I use a BT receiver to play musik over my system. Since I use this NUC a very loud noise comes out of the speaker if:

1. choosing next title into player

2. drag and drop new music into player

3. Any input over Keyboard (this is new after Win 1803 was installed today)

4. It never happened so far if Audiolevel was zero but after upgrade to 1803 it happens even if Audiolevel is zero.

Point 1 and 2 happens from time to time and apears not constantly. (Win 1703)

Point 3 happen all the time now. A speaker has crashed today because of that really loud but short noise. (Win 1803)

What did I do?

Changing BT receiver and use differend players. But it happens with VLC, MS Mediaplayer and Cyberlink Player (all new versions)

So it means up to now cannot use this NUC für playing music.

WIN10 64bit Version1803

Drivers up to Date

Bios Ver. 63

Bios Konfig is Okay

Cable in Use: After 2 Month the TV stay black

USB C auf HDMI Kabel 4K 60Hz 2m: Amazon.de: Computer & Zubehör

Ask for Help because I have no more ideas where exactly the fault lies.

Hi,

I just bought a NUC7i7BNH with configuration as follow:

Windows 10 Pro x64bit

SSD 120Gb Western Digital (on M.2 slot)

HD 2Tb Seagate (on sata)

16Mb (2x8) Ram 2133Mhz

Well, with no changes or adjustments on Bios, I put the NUC to run....

Playing Youtube videos or streaming videos from web everything is fine, however playing DVD's (ISO) files from external devices on USB port using the 'VLC' VideoLan player (version 3.0.2), the images time to time 'pixelated' a little, also time to time a 'white strip bar' flashes quickly at bottom of screen... and time to time the audio sounds 'reverberating'.... finally, the menu doesn't start correctly or work properly...!

By the way, the NUC is pluged via HDMI to a Pioneer Receiver VSX-LX302 Elite then to a Panasonic Projector.

Any help or clue to solve?

Thank you!

Hello,

I've read the specs for nuc8i7hvk here Intel® NUC Kit NUC8i7HVK Product Specifications and found that it has max 32 GB RAM, DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0a but the specs for the microprocessor here Intel® Core™ i7-8809G Processor with Radeon™ RX Vega M GH graphics (8M Cache, up to 4.20 GHz) Product Specifications specify max 64 GB RAM, DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0b

Which is it ?

What are the real specs for RAM and graphics output ?

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy  more than 50 NUCs with SCCM.

A lot of NUCS are succesfully deployed but a few others aren't.

An error occurs during the last step of the sequence: Enable Bitlocker.

2150694914: The BIOS did not correctly communicate with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Contact the computer manufacturer for BIOS upgrade instructions.

Manually:

When i try to enable Bitlocker manually from Windows, the following error is shown: The BIOS did not correctly communicate with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM).

unreliable Workaround:

The problem goes (not always) away after disabling and enabling UEFI BOOT and SECURE BOOT, followed by Clear Secure Boot Data.

Its possible that the NUCs were previously deployed with bitlocker, but i can't verify this.

How can i prevent this error in the future, and upcoming deployments?

Thanks in advance,

Jerome

Hi,

Why is my keyboard not working after removing the security jumper?

I'm  trying to clear the TPM chip.

Thanks in advance,

Jérôme

So, when I install those drivers on a brand new W10 April Update installation, not even before they're finished installing, all of my windows suddenly dissapear. The installation setup gets minimized and I cannot complete it because I can't maximize it again, despite clicking on it's icon on the task bar. And if I reboot, when it goes back to Windows, all that it appears is the mouse cursor over a black screen. I can't seem to solve that, so I've had to format my SSD 2 times already.

I've the NUC connected to 2 monitors. I've tried disabling the HDMI port for one of them in case that was the error, but it happens just the same with just one monitor.

That happens with W10 April Update out of the box (installed via USB drive with a W10 April Update ISO). All I did prior to installing the graphics driver was just to install the additional updates via Windows Update. I didn't even activated any kind of screen scaling. Naturally I can't do anything with my new NUC right now cos graphic drivers are just basic ¬¬

RAM: 2x4GB Crucial Ballistix Sport LT Grey.

SSD: Patriot Burst 120GB.

Hi,

I just replaced my old MSI HTPC unit with NUC and found a strange "problem" reproduced on 1 TV and 3 HDMI monitors.

First of all, boot logo looks corrupted,

some text and graphics in BIOS as well. If mouse is over those "missing" pixels and areas, they are "restored" while mouse is there.

Screenshot taken by internal utility does not show those anomalies

I've updated BIOS to most recent version, cleared CMOS, checked memory. But, when system boots up (Ubuntu 18.04, as kernel in 16.04 does not support this NUC) to FullHD, everything looks fine, no problems at all.
With the exception of the GRUB menu (text is missing pixels too)

and my TV thinks that NUC is disconnected during bootup, only reinsertion of HDMI cable helps to get image back. I know that Linux is not supported (while BIOS has UEFI option for it), but the problem is not related to OS as it happens even in BIOS. It looks like there is a problem with upscale or conversion from 4:3 (internal utility's screenshot is close to it) to 16:9 ratio. So, should I replace NUC or is that an expected behaviour?

Thanks.

HI Guys,

I've been desperately trying to get some concrete information on this topic. It seems almost impossible to find someone who can actually tell you whether it is possible or not?

I wish to get a NUC for which one of its main uses will be local, downloaded, movie playback. I would like to be able to download 4k movies with dolby atoms sound and HDR10 colour.

I use my xbox for Netflix etc so this is for downloaded movies.

I am connecting via HDMI to a Denon 4K HDR Atmos receiver.

Has anybody here had any experience with this and if so which NUC are you using?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Hello!!

I was have similar problem as in this topic: NUC Kit NUC6i7KYK Bluetooth vanished

I tried all instructions, but it wasn't help me. Then I connect to the chat with technical support from url http://intelsupportchat.force.com/icslivechat/ics_tech_processor_ww_english_Chat, they offerd me restore BIOS. And I was restore this from 0054 to 0053. And after load system bluetooth began to work!!

URL with old version bios: Download BIOS Update [KYSKLi70.86A]

URL with recovery instructions (I use variant with "BIOS Recovery by the Power Button Menu"): BIOS Recovery Update Instructions for Intel® NUC

It's topic for all, who have problem with bluetooth adapter on nuc6i7kyk. And if who know, say when I will can update my BIOS to latest...

I'm on my third NUC and second Kingston memory stick. For whatever reason the devices refuse to acknowledge the memory stick for any length of time.

We purchased a few of these NUC5i5RYKs in 2017 with no issues at all. We needed one more this year and I've had nothing but problems over the past 7 weeks. I ordered a new NUC (same model as previous purchases) in April, installed memory (same memory - Kingston 120GB M.2). At first the drive showed up as expected, began the Win8 install and partway through install failed. There was no longer a drive to install to. Opened up the device, reseated the M.2. Now it comes up as 2GB? Reseated several more times. Doesn't show up at all now. I sent the NUC back as defective. Took 3 weeks to get the replacement. Second unit has the same exact issue. I figure it's the stick. Sent the stick back, got a replacement. Same issue. Sent second NUC back, got replacement. Same issue.

This same memory is working fine in two other RYKs at the office. I'm not sure what's changed in the past 8 months, but this is incredibly frustrating. We still need another computer so I can't just return it and wash my hands of the entire situation. Does anyone have any idea what the issue is?

I've reset the BIOS defaults (F9) on two different units. I've updated the BIOS to the latest version downloaded from the Intel site. No fix. I can only reseat the memory so many times. It fits perfect. It's right side up. AHCI is enabled. UEFI is enabled. Devices - PCI - SATA shows Not Populated. I'm at a complete loss how to proceed.

Thank you in advance for anyone who has any ideas.

I ran into an issue where the Windows wireless service will not start. I can use Ethernet just fine on the NUC, I dowloaded the latest drivers and BIOS update, and applied all of them. This does not fix the issue. I'm trying to narrow down the inability to use the wifi as a hardware side issue or software side issue. Are there any known incompatibilities with the latest Win10 update?

I have an NUC5i5MYBE and want to make it load more hard disk ( more than 4).So I buy a M.2(PCIe) to 4 Port SATA 6G Adapter  which use Marvell 88SE9235 chip and plugged in M.2 2280 Module connector.

The problem is the nuc bios can't recognize the adapter.I had asked the provider about it.They said when the computer enter bios it should detect the "Marvell 88SE92XX Adapter"  and show the info ("PCIe x2 5.0Gbps  Mode:CPU AHCI") in screen. I just get "Not Populated" device on slot,like this:

So does NUC5i5MYBE support Marvell 88SE9235 chip? Or just the adapter is broken?

BTW my system is ubuntu 16.04 LTS, if it does matter.

Thanks！

I have a Samsung Syncmaster 205BW (from 2008), which has a VGA and DVI ports in the back.   I tried connecting my 8i7hnk to the monitor using a mini-Display-to-DVI adaptor and also an HDMI-to-DVI adaptor.  I am not getting anything to show on the display.  The monitor is looking for inputs.  Windows 10 doesn't see the monitor as connected.   The adaptors are from DisplayMatters (mini-Display-to-DVI) and Apple (HDMI-to-DVI).    The display and adaptors work with my 2010 MacMini just fine.   They also work fine with a Lenovo Flex 5 running Windows 10 Home from 2017 when connecting from HDMI-to-DVI.

Does anyone know what I should try doing to troubleshoot?  Is anyone else having problems connecting the NUC to an old LCD monitor?  Thanks in advance.
