Intel® Smart Connect Technology (SCT) is a feature that allows your computer to automatically update content (such as email, social media, and apps) while the system is in a low-power or sleep state. It keeps your system connected to the internet for tasks like syncing email or refreshing news feeds even when the laptop or PC is not actively being used. This feature improves system responsiveness and ensures that you don't miss updates when the computer is idle.
The Intel® Smart Connect Technology Device Windows driver allows Windows to interface with the hardware and software components responsible for managing this connectivity. It helps maintain a balance between power savings and keeping the system up to date without constant active usage.
How to Install the Intel® Smart Connect Technology Device Driver
1. Download the Driver
- Official Source: You can download the Intel® Smart Connect Technology driver from the Intel website or through the Intel Driver & Support Assistant.
- Alternatively, if you have a laptop or system from a particular manufacturer (e.g., Dell, HP, Lenovo), you may want to visit the manufacturer's support page to find drivers tailored for your system model.
2. Run the Installer
- After downloading the driver (usually a
.exe
file), double-click the file to start the installation process.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
- The installer may request you to accept the end-user license agreement and may ask you to restart the system once the installation is complete.
3. Automatic Installation (via Windows Update)
- Windows Update: In some cases, Windows may automatically detect the necessary driver for Intel® Smart Connect Technology. If your system supports it, Windows may install or update the driver through Windows Update.
- To check for updates manually, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates.
4. Manual Installation (via Device Manager)
If the automatic installation doesn't work, or if you have a driver file but no installer, you can install the driver manually via Device Manager.
- Open Device Manager: Press
Windows + X
and select Device Manager.
- Locate the Device: Under System Devices or Network Adapters, look for a device related to Intel® Smart Connect Technology (it might be listed as Intel(R) Smart Connect Technology or something similar).
- Update the Driver: Right-click on the device and select Update Driver.
- Browse for Driver: Choose Browse my computer for driver software and navigate to the location where you downloaded or extracted the driver files.
- Follow the Prompts: Complete the driver installation by following the instructions.
5. Restart Your Computer
- After the installation is complete, it's a good idea to restart your system to ensure that the driver is properly integrated and to activate the Intel® Smart Connect Technology feature.
Troubleshooting:
- Check Device Manager: If the driver installation didn't work properly, go to Device Manager and check for any errors (such as a yellow triangle) next to the Intel® Smart Connect Technology device.
- Driver Updates: If your system has issues with Smart Connect (e.g., updates aren’t being received while the computer is asleep), ensure that the driver is up to date. You can find updated versions on the Intel website or your computer manufacturer’s support page.
- Disable/Enable SCT: If you experience issues with Intel® Smart Connect Technology, try disabling and then re-enabling it in the BIOS settings of your system. Some systems allow enabling/disabling Smart Connect through the BIOS or UEFI.
What to Expect After Installation:
- With the Intel® Smart Connect Technology driver properly installed, your system should automatically wake from sleep to refresh content, such as email or calendar updates, ensuring you stay up-to-date without needing to manually check.
This driver helps manage the power-efficient communication between your system's hardware and the internet while in a low-power state, which can save battery life while keeping your device connected.
