Intel® Connectivity Performance Suite 50.26.820.0

Intel® Connectivity Performance Suite is a Windows application from Intel that provides tools to configure, optimize, and diagnose Intel wireless adapters (Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth). It helps manage adapter settings, run performance tests, check driver/firmware versions, and apply recommended optimizations.

Intel CPS supports systems with Intel wireless adapters (Intel Wi‑Fi and Intel Bluetooth). Specific supported adapter models and capabilities depend on the app version and the drivers installed. Check the app’s listing on the Microsoft Store or Intel release notes for model-specific support.

Intel CPS is available from the Microsoft Store for Windows devices. Search for “Intel Connectivity Performance Suite” in the Microsoft Store and install from there. Some OEMs or IT departments may preinstall it or provide a direct link.

You need a Windows PC that supports the Microsoft Store (typically Windows 10/11). Additionally, an Intel wireless adapter with compatible drivers and sufficient disk space and permissions to install Store apps are required. Exact requirements can be found on the app’s Microsoft Store page.

Yes. Intel CPS complements, but does not replace, device drivers. Keep your Intel wireless drivers and firmware up to date (via Windows Update, the OEM, or Intel driver packages). Intel CPS reads adapter information and works with installed drivers to provide diagnostics and recommendations.

Intel CPS primarily provides diagnostics, settings, and recommendations. It may indicate available driver/firmware versions but typically does not perform automatic driver/firmware updates itself. Use Windows Update, OEM update utilities, or Intel driver packages to install driver/firmware updates.

Intel CPS can be useful for IT admins for troubleshooting and optimizing Intel wireless in client devices. However, enterprise deployments typically use centralized management tools (MDM, SCCM) and Intel/partner enterprise utilities. Verify compatibility with your management workflow before wide deployment.

Typical features include adapter diagnostics, connection performance tests, signal and channel information, logs for Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, and configuration suggestions to improve reliability and throughput. It helps identify driver/firmware mismatches or environmental issues.

Uninstall the app like any other Microsoft Store app: open Settings > Apps > Apps & features, find Intel Connectivity Performance Suite, and choose Uninstall. Restart the PC if prompted.

Apps that diagnose connectivity may collect device, adapter, network, and performance data to provide recommendations. Review the app’s Microsoft Store privacy statement and Intel’s privacy documentation to understand what data is collected and how it is used. Enterprises should review telemetry settings before deployment.
