Windows 10: Intel SCSI Adapter update causes boot problems

I rec'd an Intel SCSI Adapter update V 17.5.3.1026, this AM, thru the Windows update screen. After the install I immediately has boot up problems. The boot up would stall at the Dell logo screen and go no further. I was able to get to boot up once in a while by powering off and restarting from the power button, but that didn't work very often. When it did boot up using this method it was pretty sluggish. I contacted Dell support and they were not aware of the problem. I subsequently reviewed some Dell community forum posts and there were other people reporting the exact same problem in May 2020. I was finally able to get back to normal operating condition by doing a system point restore prior to the download. The jist of the forums was there is problem with the RST and BIOS not in sync. Both of those are current according to Dell drivers and download screen. Dell has fowarded the problem to the engineering dept for review. The next time I checked for updates the Intel showed up again but I did not install. I'm OK as long as it does not try to self install. I also contacted MS support and they wanted to update me V 2004 which I declined as it still is showing for developers. Any thoughts on what to do here? Thanks

Intel Readies P55 Chipset B3 Stepping Update

Intel's is readying a hardware update for its P55 Express chipset, currently the only core-logic for the company's brand new socket LGA-1156 processor platform. The new B3 stepping of the P55 PCH will bring with it a little more than new MM number and S-spec numbers. A list of changes is as follows:

• New MM number and S-spec numbers for the converted products;
• Firmware and minor BIOS updates are required with the conversion;
• Processor MRC/microcode update required to enable future processors;
• Recommended storage driver upgrade from Intel MSM 8.9 to Intel RST 9.5.

Although it is listed that the MRC update enables 'future processors', Intel, in a statement issued to X-bit labs assured that the current B2 stepping of the chipset (found on current socket LGA-1156 motherboards) does not leave out support for any of Intel's new LGA-1156 processors that are slated for release in the very near future. The dual-core "Clarkale" 32 nm processor will be supported by both B2 and B3 steppings of the chipset.

P55 B3 stepping is pin-identical to P55 B2, and hence motherboard vendors will not have to come up with new designs. Sampling of the new stepping began as early as on October 02, 2009, and it is scheduled for shipment to manufacturers by the 7th of December, 2009. P55 is the performance core-logic for the LGA-1156 platform. It supports Core i5 and Core i7 "Lynnfield" processors with discrete graphics.
