How to install

Troubleshooting

• NVMe drive not showing: Ensure the BIOS has VMD enabled for the relevant PCIe/NVMe port. If you disabled VMD after installing Windows, re‑enable it or switch the controller mode consistently.
• Code 28 or driver not found: Reinstall via Device Manager → Update driver → Browse to the extracted folder of the intel vmd driver.
• Inaccessible boot device after switching VMD: Switch back to the previous BIOS setting, install the correct intel vmd driver, then change the BIOS setting again.
• Driver signature or Secure Boot block: Make sure the package is WHQL‑signed. Update Windows, keep Secure Boot on, and use the official signed driver.
• Installer won’t run: Run as administrator, temporarily disable third‑party antivirus, and extract the package to a simple path like C:DriversVMD.
• Still failing: Update motherboard BIOS and Intel RST/VMD firmware if available, then retry the install.

FAQ

What is the intel vmd driver?
It enables Windows to detect and manage NVMe SSDs connected through Intel’s Volume Management Device, common on modern platforms for enterprise‑style features and RAID.

Do I need it for every system?
If your BIOS has VMD enabled for your NVMe slot, yes. Without the intel vmd driver, Windows may not see the drive during setup or after boot.

How can I check if my system uses VMD?
Look in BIOS for VMD options, or in Device Manager under Storage controllers for Intel VMD/RST entries.

Which operating systems are supported?
Windows 10 32-Bit, Windows 11 are commonly supported by current VMD drivers. Always match the driver to your OS build and architecture.

Can I uninstall the driver?
Only if VMD is disabled in BIOS and your boot/NVMe drives are accessible without it. Otherwise, removing it could render Windows unbootable.
