HP Spectre 15-ch000 x360 AMD Radeon RX VEGA M Driver update??

What drivers from Nov 2018 did you install? I didn't see any on the drivers page for the laptop dated Nov 2018, but found a driver on Intel's website (Radeon™ RX Vega M Graphics 18.10.2 BETA Driver) dated 11/8/2018, but that didn't seem to work either.

The Nov 2018 Intel driver is not on the HP website. 

If you are running with the Original Intel driver dated Feb 2018 then by going into the Device Manager and updating the Intel driver from the Device Manager you will be upgraded to the Nov 2018 Intel driver. 

After that you should be able to upgrade to the DCH and most recent Intel driver dated May 28, 2019..

So unfortunately that did not work because updating the Feb 2018 Intel driver from HP resulted in the March 2019 driver being installed.

I was finally able to install the Intel DCH Drivers (5/28/2019 26.20.100.6912) by doing the following:

- Uninstall the Intel HD Graphics 630 driver via the Device Manager and then do NOT restart. Restarting would result in the HP Intel drivers then being automatically re-installed.

- Right click inside the Device Manager and select 'Scan for hardware changes'. This will result in a generic Microsoft display driver being installed.

- You should now be able to install the DCH Drivers.

Essentially, the Intel DCH Driver setup wizard checks the currently installed driver and will not allow you to proceed installing if the current version is from HP. This is most likely because there could be stability issues because HP has not verified that it works with the laptop. Although, I haven't had any issues so far.

For those with the same issue, the above also assumes that you have already done the following discussed in this thread:

- Upgraded the bios to the latest version: F.31 Rev.A (May 22, 2019)

- Running Windows 10 1903. I had to manually install via Windows 10 Update assistant (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10)
