- thanks for including the log.
It turns out my updater was using an older detection method for chipset devices, based on filtering device FriendlyName strings against a keyword list — and in this case it silently skipped devices whose FriendlyName didn't contain any of those keywords. That's exactly what happened with your three devices.
That said, in this specific case it didn't actually matter. All of the relevant devices — the ones my updater detected and the three it missed — point to the same Intel installer package (10.1.20551.8850). So even detecting just one of them would have been enough: my updater's job is only to detect the installed hardware, identify the latest matching INF versions, and download the correct official Intel installer package. It doesn't handle the actual file installation itself — that final step is fully handled by Intel's own SetupChipset.exe, which does its own hardware matching and decides independently what to install and for which devices.
So if all the latest INF files for your system were bundled inside that one Intel installer, they should have all been installed once it ran — that part is outside my updater's control. That's actually the one thing I still can't explain: why that apparently didn't happen in your case.
As for my updater — in the next version I'll be replacing the FriendlyName-based detection with direct HWID-based matching against my full INF/HWID database, so detection no longer depends on guessing which words might appear in a device's display name. Since I already have the complete list of every known Intel chipset INF file and its associated HWIDs, there's no need to infer device categories from partial name-string matching anymore — every device gets matched by its actual hardware ID.
UPDATE
Old FriendlyName-based detection
New Full INF/HWID database detection
There is now full detection of all active Intel chipset devices—though the fact remains that the updater will ultimately install the same version of the Intel Chipset Device Software.
Everything is up to date after installation...
