Can't update to windows 11(cFosSpeed Driver)
i ran the PC health check software to see if my PC was capable of running windows 11,it checked out fine, but when i go to my updated and click to install the windows 11 upgrade i get the error that i need this driver. I've never heard of it and when i search for what it is I get sites trying to sell me the driver. is there a way around this or is this driver actually needed for the upgrade to continue?
Blackgravity If you're using an MSI product with Dragon Centre installed. Open Dragon Centre, click on the support tab on the left, then Live Updates, then scan. select the check boxes on the list, and update.
This will update cFosSpeed (and all the other programs that DC uses) to it's newest version, and will allow you to update to Windows 11.

- I fixed my problem by updating my MSI Dragoncenter
- I removed turbo LAN and did a reset on my internet connection and uninstalled the cfosspeed driver itself and it is still coming up with the cfosspeed driver error when updating to windows 11
- Did you download the new consumer version free driver from the cfoSpeed web page ?

Blackgravity By way of an update I opted for a clean Win11 install which worked once I had worked out how to update the BIOS to enable Secure Boot. For my MOBO MSI MPG Z390M GAMING EDGE AC this wasn't straight forward as the BIOS doesn't show Secure Boot enable option as standard.
I've had Win11 working fine for a month now and have not installed Dragon Centre of cFosSpeed Driver!
- Guys, I uninstalled my TurboLAN, from the ASUS MOBO, and started the installation again. Worked like a charm. Uninstall all LAN boosters of your MOBOs. Hope this helped!
Worked like a charm - thanks
Blackgravity I was getting CFossSpeed error at 35% point. However I'm now at 82% point. I downloaded from CFosSpeed the latest retail version. Since I already have a Asus mobo x299 Prime Deluxe II factory installed CFossSpeed version the new latest CFosFossSpeed driver instaleld with no issues (free of course). Its the latest "retail" version and unlike the Asis factory CFosSpeed Version that is outdated for W11 requirements.
Pudddinhead so maybe it's not CFos problem. Probably some other drivers, like it was in my case. Try uninstalling audio, network and graphics drivers and run the installer again.
I had problem at about 80-85% just like You, so I think it's worth to try.
RayvenPL Once I downloaded and updated cFossSpeed driver to newest version my W10 21H1 Asus updated to W11 with no errors, and amazingly did so with Secure Boot Disabled ! It's still disabled but W11 works fine, go figure ! I need Secure Boot disabled so I can on ocassion to use dual boot W7 (on separate SSD SSD).

- Perfect! I updated only the drivers in Dragon Center, there were more items to install after the scan but I checked only the drivers - I had four displayed, 2x Intel and 2x Realtek. I didn't upgrade anything else. And it worked. Great! W11 running.
- this is by far the easiest and best answer
- F.ex. I didn't have update options in DC, so I couldn't just update it to solve the problem. So it's not for everyone
- I had exactly the same problem. Tried several ways to uninstall or update the cFosSpeed Driver and software but could never go beyond the 35% installation and error. Also tried installing via USB and that just said device wasn't compatable (despite the system checker confirming all was good). Guess I will wait a few months and try again!
- There are two another solutions:
1) if You are using DragoCenter or something like that with LanManager installed: find the root folder of the Lan Manager, in my case it was c:\Program Files (x86)\MSI\one Dragon Center\Lan Manager and there you will find unins000.exe. By this file You'll uninstall CFos permanently
2) update CFos to the latest version.
But I think that at least one of solutions mentioned above should help.
Gosh, didn't know this is such an annoing issue
Blackgravity I went through this issue this morning. First I've just turned off MSI Dragon Center, killed CFos process and uninstalled CFos in my adapter preferences as it was mentioned above. It didn't help though.
So I've turned off MSI Dragon Center in the task manager and killed all of it's processes, uninstalled CFos using Revo Uninstaller Advanced Mode, next I,ve run CCleaner and Wise Registry Cleaner and now I've got Win 11 😉
It's not only the driver, but registry entries also...
- I had the same issue when attempting to upgrade. I had the MSI Utility installed for my motherboard and had cFosSpeed installed as a part of that utility. I uninstalled the MSI utility and cFodSpeed but still had the same error message. I finally found the what was causing the error to trigger. Go to your Network and Sharing Center and select Change Adapter Settings. Right click on your network and selet properties. Look under "This conection uses the following items:" and select cFosSpeed and click "Uninstall". A pop up box may appear and tell you it will remove the feature from all adapters, click ok/continue. Go back to your windows update, and it should start to update without that cFosSpeed error. (There may be a faster way to get to these areas I listed, that's just how I did it)
- I ran into the same issue. I had to cancel the install.
I had the same issue, so i had to unistall Turbolan SoftwareBlackgravity
