• Detected (EOL) TigerLakePCH-H devices (HWID): 43A3, 43A4, 43E8, 43E9, 43EF, 43FC
• Two of them (43E8, 43E9) have been moved to the Intel Serial IO Drivers installer and already have new versions.

1. Install everything including EOL, then the rest
2. Skip EOL and install all other INFs

• Added: warning and safeguards for Intel SST/cAVS audio INF conflicts — Some chipset packages (particularly EOL/mobile PCH packages) include `SystemcAVS.inf` files for Intel Smart Sound Technology (SST) device identification. On systems with a non-Intel audio codec (Realtek, Creative, etc.), applying these INFs can cause Windows to reassign the audio controller to an Intel SST device, breaking the third-party audio driver. Reported on a Gigabyte Skylake desktop (Realtek disabled) and an EVGA X299 Dark (Creative Sound Blaster Recon3Di broken by the `KabyLakePCH-H` EOL package). Interactive mode now warns and requires confirmation before any changes are made (and again if the System Restore point can't be created); unattended mode (`-auto` / `-quiet`) now **aborts before any changes** on cAVS detection and exits with code `3`, since no one is available to accept the risk.

• Added: explicit choice for installing legacy (EOL) INF packages — Some detected HWIDs are only covered by an older, EOL chipset INF package because the latest package no longer lists them (Intel sometimes moves the HWID into a separate installer, e.g. Intel Serial IO Drivers). Interactive mode now asks whether to (1) install everything, EOL included, or (2) skip EOL and install the rest; unattended mode (`-auto` / `-quiet`) skips EOL packages by default. If the installed INF for a device is already newer than the matching EOL package — meaning a separate, newer Intel package already covers that HWID — that EOL package is now blocked outright in both modes, since installing it would downgrade the INF file.

you simply let Windows pick a driver from its own built-in list (i.e., the driver that was already present in the system) and reinstall it that way?
