Hello,
When I install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager version 8.9.0.1023 downloaded from the website, I noticed that windows update does not work properly.
The hard drive is in AHCI in the BIOS
If I search update, a window informs me that the update can not be made because the service is stopped.
I checked the services, and the following services are started:
- Windows update
- Transfer Service Background Intelligent
I tried restarting the services, and the result is the same.
I uninstalled Intel Matrix Storage Manager and windows update works again.
How to run Windows Update when Matrix storage manager is installed?
Here's my setup:
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

Model Name: GA-EP45-DS4 (rev. 1.0)

Hi all! I had this problem today! after installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager, Windows Update could not do any search and reported that he could not perform any search because the service was being held ...
Currently, I have a HP EliteBook 8440p. in my case, it did apply the solution was to restore the system to a restore point before installing Intel Matrix Storage Manager and then reinstall the chipset drivers and go!
These drivers are not the most updated but do apply to the AHCI controller and also allow you to use Windows Update!
I hope to help with this, I read both Intel and Microsoft and HP and not much information about it ...
Greetings!
Hello all.
Intel Matrix Storage inhibits windows update in Windows 7
To solve the problem, install Intel Rapid Storage.
On this case the recommendation will be to contact the OEM manufacturer for further assistance since the issue is not related with Solid State Drives and you have a third party motherboard.
