Hello,

Microsoft's guidance for KB5121767 indicates:

[System Performance] This update addresses an issue affecting a limited number of devices with an Intel Innovation Platform Framework (Intel IPF) driver that could cause changes in performance, power consumption, or system behavior after installing recent Windows updates. A limited number of Dell devices that were temporarily prevented from receiving the July 2026 security update KB5101650 can now install this OOB update. This OOB update is only recommended for devices affected by this issue. If your device is not affected, no action is required. [emphasis added]

It appears that the fixlets for KB5121767 do not have relevance regarding KB5101650, or its impacts, or any way of gating whether the machine previously had issues.

How are folks dealing with this in BigFix?

We noticed that Microsoft isn’t actively preventing this update from installing on non-Dell or non-affected devices. We’re currently reviewing the behavior and will adjust our Fixlet relevance if needed

Wouldn’t it be nice to know which “small number of Dell devices” are impacted, and how to identify them? :joy:

  • Dell Pro Max 14 Premium MA16250

  • Dell Pro Precision 7 14 PW714260

  • Dell Pro Precision 7 16 PW716260

  • Precision 5470

  • Precision 5480

  • Precision 5490

  • Precision 5770

  • XPS 17 9720

  • XPS 17 9730

Or create an Analysis that uses Relevance 10 from MS26-JUL: Cumulative Update for Windows 11, version 24H2 - Windows 11 Version 24H2 - KB5101650 (x64)

if (exists values "OEMManufacturerName" whose (it as string as lowercase starts with "dell") of keys "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecureBoot\Servicing\DeviceAttributes" of native registry) then (not exists (select objects "DeviceName from Win32_PnPSignedDriver where DeviceName like '%25Innovation Platform Framework%25'" of wmi)) else (true)

Hi,
We will be updating the relevance for KB5121767 Fixlets so they only apply to the affected Dell machines with Intel IPF drivers, in line with Microsoft's guidance
Thank you

Hi @Girish , that's wonderful to hear!
