    That's probably way too hard for me. Anyway, I guess I shouldn't have issues when installing this Windows 11 image with this integrated driver in other PCs.

    If you don't want to invest the 15 minutes needed to understand the matter, winntsetup.exe does everything for you, in 3/4 clicks depending the option you choose. (including the driver integration part), all w/o having the PC unusable for minutes.

    Remember that real laziness is the one that invest more time once to learn, but allows to spare huge amount of work and time in the future.

    If I was lazy I wouldn't waste the amount of time I've been wasting with Windows 10 and 11 installs and making posts in this forum all these years.

    That's the point, native vhds are with us since 2009, deployment of images since 2007/2008 or so. Think how much time you have spared if you learned them 10 years ago.

    Laziness (the good one) is the engine of evolution. Most of the inventions we have are because laziness.

    Cruto developed the electric lamp because was bored of filling petrol lamps, Meucci invented the phone because it was boring to use letters and telegrams.

    Then there is the bad one, when one looks just 5 minutes forward...

    After integrating the driver with NTLite, it's still stated I must load it. Odd.

    I think it has a different name that what you mentioned about. I just have to find it. Will I have to install this driver after installing Windows 11 or have a bad consequence after disabling this setting and installing Windows 11? And after updating the BIOS will I have to disable it again?

    The consequences is that you spare time and troubles, disable it, use the stock installation media, and forget it.

    I just hope I don't have to disable this setting after every BIOS update.

    Yeah would be really a drama :D

    Anyway no, normal updates don't touch the bios settings (isn't you that blamed that behavior because the battery setting?)

    It would be a little annoying.

    Yes, it was me. I have to run "System Diagnosis" in MSI Center every time I update the BIOS to change the battery setting.

    How many times you think you need to update a bios?

    It's not like the first days of Zen1 that was a completely new CPU and there was an update every 15 days because RAM compatibility problems or other teething troubles.

    Intel CPUs are basically the same thing since 2006, most of BIOS updates released are meant to slowdown your PC because the endless list of vulnerabilities that are mostly irrelevant for home users.

    So unless you have troubles with upgrading your DDR5 RAM (I have no idea if your PC is still on DDR4 or not), or any major problem that needs to be fixed, there is no point to run after the latest BIOS upgrade. Don't fix what's not broken is the first law in IT (and perhaps in everything else)

    But MSI has been releasing BIOS updates often.

    Sure. But the OP already confirmed that it can be disabled in his machine.

    The "Enable VMD controller" BIOS setting is enabled and greyed out so I can't disable it.
