I am experiencing a persistent Intel UHD Graphics failure (Code 43) on my HP Victus 15-fa1093dx after updating to Windows 11 Version 25H2 (OS Build 26200.7462).

Before the update, the laptop worked normally with hybrid graphics (Intel UHD + NVIDIA RTX). After the Windows 11 25H2 update, the Intel iGPU is detected in Device Manager but is immediately disabled with the error:

“Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)”

What I have already tried:
- Installing HP OEM Intel Graphics drivers
- Installing multiple Intel driver versions (old and new)
- Using “Let me pick from a list of available drivers”
- Firmware/BIOS updates via Windows Update
- SFC /scannow and DISM RestoreHealth
- Removing Intel generic drivers installed via Intel Driver & Support Assistant

Result:
- All Intel UHD driver versions fail with Code 43
- Intel Graphics Software reports “Unsupported system configuration”
- NVIDIA GPU still works, but hybrid graphics is broken
- Rolling back drivers does not resolve the issue
- The “Go back to previous version of Windows” option is no longer available

System information:
- Model: HP Victus 15-fa1093dx
- OS: Windows 11 Version 25H2 (Build 26200.7462)
- Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics + NVIDIA RTX (hybrid)

Based on testing and community reports, this appears to be a compatibility issue between Windows 11 25H2 and HP OEM Intel graphics drivers for this model. The same drivers reportedly work correctly on Windows 11 24H2.

I am looking for:
- Confirmation if this is a known compatibility issue
- Guidance on supported Windows versions for this model
- Whether HP plans to release updated Intel graphics drivers compatible with Windows 11 25H2
