Universal Intel Chipset Device Updater – v2026.03.0012

📦 PowerShell Gallery Publication

• Published to PowerShell Gallery — the tool is now available via:

  Install-Script universal-intel-chipset-device-updater

• PSScriptInfo block added to script header (required by PSGallery), including .VERSION, .GUID, .AUTHOR, .TAGS, .LICENSEURI, .PROJECTURI, and .RELEASENOTES.
• Script renamed from universal-intel-chipset-updater.ps1 to universal-intel-chipset-device-updater.ps1 to match the PSGallery package name.

🔧 Help System Overhaul

• Replaced the custom internal help screen with native PowerShell Get-Help — both -help and -? now show identical, consistent output.
• Added full .SYNOPSIS, .DESCRIPTION, .PARAMETER, .EXAMPLE, and .NOTES blocks to the script header — fully compatible with Get-Help -Detailed and Get-Help -Full.
• Options list embedded directly in .DESCRIPTION — visible in -? output without any additional flags.
• Added .LINK entry — project URL now appears in the RELATED LINKS section of Get-Help output.
• Removed duplicate Project: URL from .DESCRIPTION (now covered by .LINK).
• Removed legacy script header comment block (# Universal Intel Chipset Device Updater / # By Marcin Grygiel) — all metadata now lives in PSScriptInfo.

🔧 Code Quality

• Removed Version field from .NOTES — version is already authoritative in PSScriptInfo .VERSION and $ScriptVersion.
• Updated .COPYRIGHT field — replaced All rights reserved with Licensed under the MIT License for accuracy with the project's open-source license.
