Question ASUS driver utility -- which options to install?

[shmu26]

I just got a store-built desktop with ASUS PRIME B365M-A motherboard
The ASUS driver utility started up automatically and is offering me various installs,
what should I take? See screenshot

All that are Outdated just don't install those utilities.

What about the Intel Rapid Storage? Do I want it? I don't do RAID.

It's not for RAID only.

I restored a system image, and ran the ASUS updates again, but this time, without Intel Rapid Storage. All is well now. The new Realtek LAN and audio drivers failed to install, but that's okay. I have Internet and sound, I don't see any issues.

So it turns out that the retarded ASUS driver utility was pulling an outdated version of Rapid Storage Technology with a known issue.
I downloaded it on my own, and it runs without issue. Not sure what it's actually doing for me, but at least my computer works 🤔
