Update graphics drivers

[Eli87]

Hi, I would appreciate help in finding the latest drivers for my integrated Intel HD graphics hardware? Last driver version shows showing 29/10/18, 20.19.15.5063. I am running Windows 10 (64bit). 

Can't find anything on Windows Update and Intel could only recommend a generic driver which (they say) might not be fully compatible with my system. Is the driver I currently have already the most up to date, or does something more recent exist?

Thanks for the help!

Hi:

Here is how you can manually update the graphics driver to the latest version directly from Intel...

First, create a system restore point so that you can roll back to the current graphics driver you have installed, just in case the updated driver does not work to your expectations.

Next, download and save the latest Intel HD graphics driver W10 x64 ZIP file -- 2nd one down on the left.

This is the latest driver as of March 25, 2020:   15.40.45.5126

Unzip the graphics driver file to its folder. Do not do anything with the files in the folder.

To unzip the file, right click on the graphics driver zip file you downloaded, and select Extract All.

Go to the device manager, click to expand the Display Adapters device manager category

Click on the Intel HD graphics adapter listed there.

Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver.

Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and then at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.

Click on Have Disk, and browse to the unzipped graphics driver folder>Graphics>igdlh64 (setup information file), click Next, and the driver should install.

Be patient, as it can take a few minutes for the driver to completely install.

When the installation is finished, restart the PC.

To update the Intel HDMI audio driver to the latest version, go to the device manager, click to expand the Sound, video and game controllers device manager category.

Click on the Intel HD audio device listed there.   Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update driver.

Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and browse to the unzipped Intel graphics driver main folder.

Make sure the Include subfolders box is checked, and the driver will install.

Then restart the PC.
