Version: 2026.03.0003
Release Date: March 21, 2026

Universal Intel Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Drivers Updater is an advanced, security-focused tool that automatically detects
your Intel wireless hardware and installs the latest official Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers with enterprise-grade safety measures.

This project was built through a pragmatic collaboration between human expertise and AI-assisted tooling.

Why This Tool Exists
Intel distributes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers as large CAB packages — but your system only needs the version that matches your specific adapter.
This tool automatically identifies your hardware, fetches the correct driver package from official sources, verifies its integrity, and installs it cleanly — nothing more, nothing less.

Added

• Microsoft WHCP Digital Signature Verification: All downloaded CAB driver packages are now verified against the `Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher` certificate before installation — after SHA-256 hash check and before `expand.exe` extraction; installation is aborted on any failure; security architecture is now fully symmetric with Universal Intel Chipset Device Updater
• Legacy Device Support: Database files (`intel-bt-driver-latest.md`, `intel-wifi-driver-latest.md`) now support optional per-device `Latest Version` and `Release Date` columns; a dedicated `## Legacy Devices` section tracks EOL devices with their last available driver version; script displays `[LEGACY]` indicator and installs the correct last-available CAB automatically — no script update required when Intel discontinues a device
• First Legacy Entry: Intel AX200 Bluetooth (PID `0029`) — dropped by Intel in `24.10.0.4` (11/10/2025); Wi-Fi for AX200 remains fully supported
• Per-DEV Wi-Fi Download Blocks: `intel-wifi-drivers-download.txt` rebuilt to support per-device CAB blocks, mirroring the existing BT parser structure; global header ensures full backward compatibility with v2026.03.0002
• Auto-Launch After Update Download: After downloading a newer version, the updater now prompts to exit and launch the new version automatically (`Start-Process` + `exit 100`) — consistent with Universal Intel Chipset Device Updater behavior
• Expanded Wi-Fi Hardware Coverage: Added 5 previously missing adapter DEV IDs — AX203, AX101, Wireless-AC 9260, Wireless-AC 9461, Wireless-AC 9462
• `.ICONURI` in PSScriptInfo: PowerShell Gallery listing now displays the project icon

Fixed

• `pnputil` Exit Code Handling: Both `pnputil /add-driver` and `pnputil /update-device` calls now correctly handle all real-world exit codes — `259` (driver already staged), `1` (device already on best driver, relevant for force reinstall), `3010` (success, reboot required); force reinstall now works correctly in all scenarios
• Auto-Update Filename: Download URL corrected from `WiFiBT-Updater-*` to `WiFi-BT-Updater-*` to match actual release filenames; v2026.03.0002 users who encounter a hash error during auto-update should download v2026.03.0003 manually
• `$isSFX` Detection Pattern: Pattern corrected to match actual script filename `universal-intel-wifi-bt-driver-updater*`

Security

• WHCP Digital Signature Verification: See Added section above
