Description
I'm trying to update my Intel® Killer™ Performance Suite through IDSA but I keep getting a "No Compatible Hardware Detected" warning and the installation won't go through.
Resolution
- Open Device Manager and expand the Network Adapters section to identify the exact Wireless Adapter or Ethernet Controller model installed in your system.
- Check whether the word "Killer" appears in the name of your network adapter or controller.
- If there is no "Killer" name listed in your network adapter or controller, Intel® Killer™ Performance Suite is not supported on your system. It is recommended to hide the update in Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (IDSA) to avoid installation errors.
- If the word "Killer" is listed in your network adapter or controller, attempt to install the OEM version of the driver first.
- If the issue persists after installing the OEM version, perform a clean installation by following the steps in the How to Perform a Clean Installation to Solve Most Intel® Killer™ Performance Suite Issues article and download and install the latest generic version of Intel® Killer™ Performance Suite from the Intel Killer Performance Suite Download Page.
Additional information
The "Warning: No Compatible Hardware Detected" error when installing Intel® Killer™ Performance Suite may be caused by one of the following:
- Your wireless device is not supported by Intel® Killer™ Performance Suite. The suite only supports certain models of Intel® Killer™ Wireless and Intel® Killer™ Ethernet products. See the Download Intel® Killer™ Software and Drivers page for more details.
- Your wireless device is disabled or not connected to your system.
- Your wireless device has outdated or corrupted drivers or firmware.
Note: Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (IDSA) detects generic drivers and applications only. It is recommended to use your OEM's automatic update tool to check for compatible supported drivers and applications for your system.
