Why can't I update my Intel HD Grafics 4600?

[JAY_RAY]

I wanted to update my HD grafics 4600 today but i couldn't install it. First i tried it directly from Intel drivers then from HP Support Assistant. My current driver-version is: 10.18.15.4248

The latest driver-version is: 15.40.37.4835

Please help me to get the latest driver

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi:

You should be able to manually update the Intel graphics driver from Intel as follows.

This method will bypass the error message about using the OEM driver from your PC's manufacturer.

Download the graphics driver zip file and unzip it to its folder. 1st one on the list is for 64 bit.

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27267/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-40-?pr...

Go to the device manager and 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 driver folder you unzipped>Graphics>igdlh64 (setup information file), and the driver should install.

Then restart the PC.

Hi,

You can get around the restriction imposed by the oem graphics package by manually installing the Intel Graphics driver as follows.

First, download the latest Intel HD4600 driver for your notebook from the link below and save it to your Downloads folder - you need the first option ( ie win64_154037.4835.zip ).

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27267/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-40-?pr...

When done, download and install the .64bit version of 7-Zip on the link below.

http://www.7-zip.org/

When you've installed 7-Zip, open your Downloads folder, right click on the win64_154037.4835.zip package, select 7-Zip, select extract files and then click Ok.

Cut this newly extracted folder and paste it on your Desktop so it's easy to find.

When done, hold down the Windows key and press R

Into the Run window, type devmgmt.msc and hit enter.

In Device Manager, expand Display adapters, right click the Intel 4600 device and select 'Update Driver Software'.

In the following window, select 'Browser my computer for driver software' and then select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.

In the next window, click the 'Have Disk' button and then browse to the extracted Intel win64_154037.4835 folder you pasted on your Desktop.

Browse into the sub-folder Graphics, left click on the file igdlh64.INF to highlight it and then click Open.

Click on 'Ok' and then click 'Next' and wait for the driver to install.

When done, click 'Close' and then click 'Yes' to restart the notebook.
