Windows 10: Intel DCH Drivers version 25.20.100.6577 released for Windows 10

A new version of Intel’s DCH driver is now available for Windows 10 devices. Intel DCH Drivers version 25.20.100.6577 for Windows 10 adds support for Apex Legends and fixes tons of bugs.

Intel DCH version 25.20.100.6577 comes with several improvements and bug fixes. For instance, the update introduces performance improvements and optimizations for Arma 3 on PCs with Intel 6th-generation processors or higher.

It also includes power and performance benefits for DX12 games and apps using placed resources. It’s worth noting that these are new drivers developed by following the Windows DCH graphics drivers standards.

Introduction of Windows DCH Drivers for Intel Products


I just saw this announcement on Intel's website:

What is changing?
Microsoft is changing the way that hardware drivers work on the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), Windows® 10 (and later), and Microsoft Windows* Server 2019 (and later). Hardware running on these operating systems can use Windows DCH Drivers. Intel will begin distributing Windows DCH Drivers for its products beginning in November 2018.

How do these changes affect driver updates for Intel products?
As of November 2018, driver updates for Intel products on these operating systems will begin transitioning to Windows DCH Drivers. After a driver has been updated to a Windows DCH Driver, it's possible to roll back to a legacy driver; however, rolling back isn't recommended as it involves a complex process that could result in system instability. This system instability is especially pertinent to graphics drivers. You can find more information on this subject.

How do I load Intel® driver updates?
You can load most Intel® driver updates using the Intel® Driver and Support Assistant (Intel® DSA), which will:
Detect your machine’s configuration.
Identify your current Intel® drivers.
Notify you of any drivers that need updating.
Give you the opportunity to update those drivers.
Note that the Intel® DSA tool doesn't currently work for Windows* Server. For these customers, and customers who prefer to manually identify and load a specific driver, these customers can use Download Center.
More detailed information on DCH Windows Drivers can be found on the Microsoft site.

Update WHQL to DCH Driver


I've already installed latest Intel HD Graphics WHQL version 25.20.100.6373, but it keeps pop up me with warning igfxEM.exe App error box (the instruction at 0x0007FFF90D90A03 referred memory at 0xFFF... The memory could not be read. Click OK to terminate the program) every time I turn on/restart my laptop.

Shouid I update to Intel HD Graphics DCH version 25.20.10.6519 or any else solutions?

And if I change from WHQL to DCH for Intel HD Graphics, should I also change my nVidia driver to DCH or it's ok if I still use standard version?

Note:
My laptop is running win 10 1809 64 bit, core i7 6700HQ.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
