My 10th gen Intel i5/ARC a380 system with newest igpu driver didn't do well with the first ARC update I did 6 days ago. .4146 ended in a Windows Blue Screen Stop Code: Driver_Verifier_DMA_Violation. Restart showed the driver, but no ARC Control. Day later I downloaded the zip file and extracted the Arc Control .exc. Both driver and arc control worked well with stable OC of 2650 mhz. Burn test at 100% gpu usage pulling 54 watts for over 10 min. GPU 76deg/ Memory 86deg. Impressed. Failing to wake from sleep only happens if programs are running. Once it resulted in a Windows stop code: Video_Scheduler_Internal_Error. Happy ARC owner so far 6 days in.So I felt a little adventurous today when I saw the new .4255 driver in .exc form only and went ahead and gave it a go. Hours later I will say that .4255 gave ME a go. WOW. Almost stopped when I couldn't unselect the driver assist program. I have not read good things about it. Only wanted the driver and Arc Control updates. So back to being adventurous (and maybe a helpful customer) I took the full update. Opps. Ended in black screen. Hard reboot brought back what appeared to be a good install. Launch the unwanted Intel Driver & Support Assistant program only to have it launch a web page that says "Something when wrong with your scan". Tried to uninstall D&SA and you can't. Didn't want it and know can't remove. Hmmmm. Arc Control update seems to be ok.Now the fun really starts. I try to open Magix Vegas 20 and am greeted with windows BAD IMAGE error screen with note that the System32/MSVCP140.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Error status: 0xc000012f It said to reinstall the program. OK, there was a new update of Vegas I was going to load anyway. Ugh, first bad install of Vegas ever for me.Vegas Installer Error code during uninstallation phase: An installation for Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X64 Minimum Runtime-14.32.31332 is currently suspended. You must undo the changes made by that installation to continue. Do you want to undo those changes? Yes gets me to sfvstwrap.dll failing later in the installation. Looks like the tested Intel exc file toasted my Microsoft visual C++ Redistributables. Quick search gets me to the info I need to uninstall all visual c++ apps, reboot, download five files and install in chronological order. Last one (2015-2022) kicks up error code: vc_runtimeMinimum_x86.msi cannot be found. Double ugh. Now my searches gets me to the point of diving into the regedit for the first time. Did I say adventure yet? Deleting all folders that referenced Visual C++ in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products let me finish the . This allowed me to successfully install Vegas software. All seems to be good now. I rolled back the driver in device manager and some point at the start of this adventure and I won't be going back to .4255 until there is a zip option.
