What I meant was, how did you open the Lenovo installer? When I tried opening it in 7-Zip, i get a series of empty folders, not the actual driver contents. By contrast, the Intel self-extractors open up just fine with 7-Zip.
Martinii, I don't really want to run that executable, even bailing out at the last minute. I prefer extracting volumes to a neutral location and then pointing Windows to that when updating.
The Lenovo installers don't create restore points. Even if I made one myself prior to updating, I'm not confident that I would be able to roll back if I didn't like the result. I've seen this before, namely, that the "Roll Back Driver" button gets grayed out after a Lenovo installer runs. Do.Not.Want.
Sometimes, I just image the drive before I mess with drivers, and then restore if it goes south. Depends on how motivated I am to try it.
