update driver is successful but in device manager the version is not changed.
then try checking the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet is missing.
how to fix this?

You can see that CurrentControlSet004 appears which was not there before.

You can't recreate that unless you knew what was already there, however, that shouldn't particularly matter since the CurrentControlSet should always point to one of your existing control sets.

If you want to use a different one then update that subkey.

sorry I'm not feeling well

I wasn't careful in providing the information, what I should have typed ControlSet001 instead became CurrentControlSet001. so, ControlSet001 it can't be restored to normal?

what about driver versions that don't change in device manager? because some drivers cannot be updated to the latest

For clarification, if you wanted to change your current control set to a different control set, then you should be able to update the following value(s):

Code: 
reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\Select" /v Default
reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\Select" /v Current

No, not unless you had a saved copy of what ControlSet001 was, although, it shouldn't particularly matter because the CurrentControlSet subkey will always point to one of your control sets as per the Select subkey.

Your screenshot is contradictory to what you're supposedly trying to do, are you installing an older version or a newer version? The screenshot you've provided seems to suggest that it was able to successfully install the older driver?

If you aren't able to install a particular driver version, then check the Intel package manager logs (if any) or alternatively check the setupapi.dev.log which can be found under %systemroot%\inf. I should imagine that Windows is finding a more "applicable" version and then using that instead.

Previously I had installed version 10.0.27, in the device manager it still detected version 9.

When I tried to install the driver, the following notification appeared in the device manager.

so the problem is that the device manager is still version 9, should it be version 10.

Do I need to include a video of installing the new version so you understand better?
 
Have you checked the logs which I mentioned? The only reason I think of as to why that particular driver isn't being installed is because of the driver ranking.

Is there a particular reason why you need to update that driver?
