“Unexpected Download Error” or “Multiple Download Failed” Error Messages Appeared in Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA)

In some cases, the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant is unable to download and install recommended driver updates, resulting in an error message Unexpected Download Error or Multiple Download Failed. You can resume the unsuccessful downloads by changing the download location from the Intel® DSA settings or by running Intel® DSA from a different supported browser.

1. Open Intel® Driver Support Assistant.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Scroll to find the Folder Location and click the Change Location button.
4. You may either make a new folder or select an existing location for the driver updates to be downloaded.

Adblocker may potentially be the cause of failed downloads by preventing download requests from Intel® Driver Support Assistant. Make sure this is paused or removed from the browser extension.
