Windows 10: Intel’s latest graphics driver for Windows 10 comes with new features

Intel has once again released a new update to its graphics drivers for all Windows 10 devices. This release has one of the longest changelogs and it bumps the version number to 27.20.100.8783.

Intel DCH driver version 27.20.100.8783, which was released on September 29, is now widely available for users when they check for updates using Intel’s Support Assistant tool.

Intel says the updated driver adds support for two new titles – Rogue Company and Star Wars Squadrons. With this update, Intel is finally introducing support for the 11th-generation processors and the new Iris Xe graphics architecture.

Intel is adding support for a ton of new features that will work when you use these new GPUs.

For example, the update adds support for additional decoding and encoding for videos in HEVC and VP9 formats. Intel is also making improvements to its Turbo Technology Power for supported hardware.

Likewise, Intel is enabling new enhancements for HEVC, HDR video playback, Dolby Vision, and VP9. The update also brings sampler feedback and Graphics Profile Guided Optimization to supported hardware.

There’s only one bug fix in this release and it applies to Resident Evil 3 remake. The driver addresses performance issues experienced when playing the game on a device with DirectX12 and Intel Ice Lake CPU with Iris Plus graphics.

Intel is currently aware of at least two known issues in this update. According to the company, the new driver might crash games, such as Red Dead Redemption 2. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon, Breakpoint and Horizon Zero Dawn, among other titles.

As always, Intel DCH driver update will also address general bugs, improve overall system performance, and prepare your devices for future Windows Updates.

How to download Intel DCH driver 27.20.100.8783


Intel says any version of Windows 10 since the version 1709 is supported. This includes the May 2020 Update, but the drivers are currently not ready for October 2020 Update.

In terms of compatibility, all Intel processors, ranging from 6th to 11th generations are supported. Intel is also supporting the Pentium, Celeron, Xeon, HD Graphics and Iris Pro Graphics.



Intel graphics driver version 27.20.100.8783 can be downloaded using Intel’s driver & support tool.

In addition, Intel Graphics Command Center update, which was released last month with new features, is now available for everyone in the Store.

Intel HD Graphics Display Driver Windows 10

Hi Harpinder;

First, I want to thank you for replying and offering a possible solution to this problem. It is appreciated.

Second, don't assume that I didn't follow instructions or that I don't use web search (google/bing). I do. I use it heavily.

Third, the solution and instructions given did NOT work for me. No matter what I did - including extracting the Intel drivers and pointing the update drivers action to the extracted folder - I could not get the update to install. It always gave me the
"you have the latest drivers" response. However, you did prompt me to think about another process I might try...

Forth, what did work for me is this...

• Download the Intel HD5000 drivers from this location. It is OK just to download the exe. But do NOT run the installer... just save it: Download Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows® 10 [15.40][4th Gen]
  
• Open Device Manager
• Open properties for Display Adapters > Intel HD Graphics 5000
• Click Driver tab and then Uninstall button.
• In the uninstall confirmation box, click the checkbox to "Delete the driver software for this device"
• Click OK to proceed with the delete. The system will need to restart, and when it does it will come up with the Microsoft Basic Display driver listed in the Device Manager > Display Adapters.
• Do NOT run scan for new hardware.
• Run the Intel HD5000 driver installer that was downloaded in step #1.

Those are the steps that worked for me. It would be great to hear feedback on the steps that worked for others.
