Desktop performance for Windows Aero lower after Windows 7 reinstall
I reinstalled my operating system. All my other performance scores are the same except performance for Aero dropped from 6.7 to 5.7.
I downloaded the drivers for my computer model from Dell and installed them in the order Dell said to. Some of the drivers didn't install, so I moved on until I got to internet and from there I updated automatically. I'm guessing the ones that got skipped might have messed something up?
When I try to update automatically from Dell, these Intel drivers never work. It says they installed successfully but when I scan for updates again they always show up again:
Intel 8 Series Chipset Device Software Driver
Intel(R) Management Engine 9.0 Components Installer
(Intel 8 Series Chipset Device Software Driver also repeatedly shows up as an update on my other computer of the same model, so I don't think this is anything to worry about.)
When I tried to automatically update with an Intel update program, it could not automatically update; I believe it said it was because custom drivers were installed.
This is a new computer, so everything should be working. I'm just trying to get that score up to where it should be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
