FirstEverTech/Universal-Intel-WiFi-BT-Updater v2026.06.0007

v2026.06.0007 - Release Notes

on GitHub

🚀 Release: v2026.06.0007

🆕 What's New

• PSGallery Self‑Update Mechanism

  • When the script is installed via Install-Script universal-intel-wifi-bt-driver-updater from the PowerShell Gallery, it now checks for new versions and updates itself using Update-Script -Force.
  • This eliminates the need to manually download an EXE file. The script updates in‑place and exits; the next run uses the new version.
  • If the update fails (e.g., network issues), the script falls back to the original behaviour (prompt to continue with the current version or download an EXE).

• Installation Order: Bluetooth First, Then Wi‑Fi

  • In previous versions, when both drivers required updates, the updater installed Wi‑Fi first. After the Wi‑Fi driver was staged, the network connection would often drop, causing the subsequent Bluetooth CAB download to fail.
  • New order: Bluetooth driver (does not affect network) → Wi‑Fi driver (may disconnect, but no further downloads are needed).
  • This change ensures that both drivers are successfully downloaded and installed in a single run, even when a network disruption occurs.

📋 Release Files

• universal-intel-wifi-bt-driver-updater.ps1 — Main updater script (v2026.06.0007)
• WiFi-BT-Updater-2026.06.0007-Win10-Win11.exe — Self‑extracting package (includes the updated script)
• universal-intel-wifi-bt-driver-updater-2026.06.0007-ps1.sha256 — SHA256 checksum for the script

🔧 Dependencies & Compatibility

• PSGallery detection — The script checks if its path contains WindowsPowerShell\Scripts. If yes, it assumes installation from PSGallery and uses Update-Script.
• Manual (EXE) path unchanged — Users who downloaded the EXE from GitHub will still see the same download‑and‑run flow; only PSGallery‑installed copies benefit from the automatic update.
• No changes to driver databases — The same intel-wifi-driver-latest.md, intel-bt-driver-latest.md, and versioned .txt files are used.

🐛 Bug Fixes (in this release)

• Fixed an issue where a dual driver update (Wi‑Fi + Bluetooth) would fail to download the Bluetooth CAB after the Wi‑Fi driver disconnected the network.

📝 Notes for Users

• If you installed via PSGallery — The next time you run the script and a newer version is available, it will update itself automatically. No manual intervention required.
• If you use the standalone EXE — Behaviour remains unchanged: you will be prompted to download a new EXE or continue with the current version.
• Installation order — The change is completely transparent. You do not need to adjust any settings.
