BIOS & UEFI
MSI desktop boards use the Click BIOS interface for their UEFI firmware, spanning the MPG, MAG, and PRO ranges. It handles boot order, memory profiles, and platform features. The preferred update route is the built-in M-Flash tool, which loads firmware from USB. Confirm the exact model string printed on the board so you apply the file intended for it rather than a similarly named model.

M-Flash within the BIOS is preferred; confirm the exact model string.

MSI gaming laptops use a keyboard utility, often built on SteelSeries technology, to control the per-key or zoned backlighting and any macro features on the built-in board. It runs on MSI gaming chassis and installs from the MSI software for your model. Typing works without it, but the lighting layers and any color profiles depend on this utility being present.

MSI provides card-specific utilities for monitoring, fan curves, and light clock tuning on its graphics cards, and OEM packages for its systems. As with other board partners, the display driver that actually renders comes from NVIDIA or AMD, while the MSI software is a companion layer. Install the chip vendor's driver first for the core stack, then add the MSI utility only if you want its tuning features.

MSI laptops that include a card slot use an integrated controller whose driver MSI lists per model. The dependable version is the one on your exact laptop's support page, validated against the firmware in that unit. Because MSI's gaming and creator laptops manage power aggressively, the matched driver is what keeps the slot behaving correctly after the machine sleeps, where a generic controller driver often fails to bring the reader back.

MSI laptop firmware covers gaming and productivity lines such as the Stealth, Katana, and Prestige, and it is distinct from MSI's desktop Click BIOS. Each model has its own firmware from MSI, so use only the file listed for your specific laptop. Keep the laptop on AC power during the update, and do not interrupt the process once it starts.

MSI publishes monitor identity and color files for its Optix, MAG, and MPG display ranges, mostly gaming-oriented panels with high refresh rates and curved formats. The INF helps ensure Windows reads the full mode list, and the profile sets the factory color starting point. Match the file to your exact MSI model, and turn to the GPU driver rather than this package when you need the panel's adaptive sync or top refresh rate to engage.

MSI motherboards that include wireless carry an onboard Bluetooth radio whose driver is published alongside the board's other components. The wireless chipset varies by board generation and tier, so the package is keyed to the exact model rather than shared across the range. Read the board model from its silkscreen or box and select the matching download.

MSI's chipset drivers are keyed to individual boards, delivering the AMD or Intel platform package validated for that model. On a self-built MSI system this tested version keeps the board's controllers, USB descriptors, and power tables aligned with the firmware. Identify the board from its silkscreen or box and pull the matching chipset download.

This is MSI's LAN driver package for the network controller on a given MSI motherboard, selected by exact board model. MSI boards span plain gigabit and 2.5 Gbps controllers, so the model-specific download helps ensure the driver fits both the controller and the board firmware. On multi-gig MSI boards especially, keeping the driver aligned with the board firmware is the more dependable way to avoid link instability.

Certain MSI companion applications install a virtual device to support audio routing or system features on MSI motherboards and laptops. Its lifecycle is bound to that MSI software, meaning you update or uninstall it through the application rather than as a separate driver. If a leftover entry remains after removing the app, clear it in Device Manager with hidden devices shown.
