Looking to Download the latest RTS from Intel Downloads for Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) and found this.
Intel will be supplying Windows DCH Drivers for its products beginning in November. These drivers will be used for
Windows® 10 and Windows* Server 2019 and will replace the existing drivers. Read more>

 
Introduction of Windows DCH Drivers for Intel Products Documentation
Content Type  Product Information & Documentation
Article ID  000031572  Last Reviewed  01/17/2019
Click here to get started with IDSA.
 
What is changing?
Microsoft is changing the way that hardware drivers work on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), Windows® 10 (and later), and Microsoft Windows* Server 2019 (and later). Hardware running on these operating systems can use Windows DCH Drivers. Intel will begin distributing Windows DCH Drivers for its products beginning in November 2018.
How do these changes affect driver updates for Intel products?
As of November 2018, driver updates for Intel products on these operating systems will begin transitioning to Windows DCH Drivers. After a driver has been updated to a Windows DCH Driver, it's possible to roll back to a legacy driver; however, rolling back isn't recommended as it involves a complex process that could result in system instability. This system instability is especially pertinent to graphics drivers. You can find more information on this subject.
How do I load Intel® driver updates?
You can load most Intel® driver updates using the Intel® Driver and Support Assistant (Intel® DSA), which will:
  • Detect your machine’s configuration.
  • Identify your current Intel® drivers.
  • Notify you of any drivers that need updating.
  • Give you the opportunity to update those drivers.
Not Happy with this Change Intel has started with Drivers.
 
From this Page https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/64572/Intel-Rapid-Start-Technology you can change the Operating system to show older versions of Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) User Interface and Drivers released before Intel® DSA was released.

    True, but no x99 Support, and Intel® Optane™ memory module is a hole new Beast.



    Sure... but you posted this in General Software, not anywhere concerning X99 specifically. Before you edited your post, there wasn't any mention of old chipsets. If you want to go that route, there are many more unsupported ones you could add to the list.
     
    Anyway, what I'm saying is that Intel doesn't (yet) force you to use DSA. You still can download the latest RST drivers/installer via the link I posted.

    Yes, thank you.
    I removed any reference to a new Driver for any Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) Drivers and only have this new info about IDSA.

    I could be wrong, but I get the impression that Intel is kind of being pushed in this direction because of how MS is doing things in Windows 10.

    A newer version of the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant is required.
