Windows 10: Microsoft downgrade the Intel graphics driver by updating windows every time.

I have installed the Intel driver and support assistant. It downloads all updated drivers. But Every time Windows downgrade the Graphics driver from the updated one during updating Windows. It is being happening every time. When I update by this driver and support assistant then Microsoft downgrade from that. Yesterday also did that one more time. The driver version was 31.0.101.4314 from that It pulled down to 30.0.101.1273. Why is this happening? May I know which one is the upgraded version between of two?

Windows 10 Keeps Downgrading Intel HD Graphics Driver

Hello,

I have HP laptop with Intel® HD Graphics 530. HP, like any other computer manufacturer, provides driver support for about two years. HP has stopped updating Intel HD graphic driver for my laptop. However, Intel is still providing necessary and in some cases
critical updates for this driver.

The issue I am facing is that whenever I install the latest version of the driver from Intel website, Windows 10 immediately downloads an older version from HP and downgrades the driver with the old version from HP. For example, the latest version from HP
is 20.19.15.4360 (15.40.18.4360). But the latest version from Intel has 15.40.28.4501. I think the problem is with driver version number provided by HP. The latest driver from HP is actually 15.40.18.4360 but HP lists it as 20.19.15.4360 which is wrong
and that's why Windows 10 thinks that 20.19.15.4360 (15.40.18.4360) version from HP is newer than 15.40.28.4501 version from Intel. Thus, Windows 10 downloads and downgrades it.

I have tried "Show or hide updates". But it doesn't show Intel graphic driver so I cannot hide this update from Windows. Could you please do something about it so that Windows 10 recognizes correct latest version of the driver from Intel and not downgrade
it?

Thank you.

 

Unable to detect Intel Graphics 630 drivers

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving the issue. I understand that Intel HD Graphics 630 drivers are not getting detected on your computer.



As you have mentioned that you get an error no compatible device found when trying to update driver, I would suggest you to check if there is any hidden device for Intel HD Graphics 630 in the Device Manager. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
   Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for Run.
   
2. In Run dialog box, type devmgmt.msc and hit
   Enter.
   
3. Click on View and click on
   Show hidden devices.
   
4. Go to Display adapters and expand it.
   
5. Now, check if Intel HD Graphics driver is listed as
   greyed out device.
   
6. If you see the Intel HD Graphics driver, right click on the driver and select Update Driver.
   
7. Restart the PC.
   

I would also suggest you to check in BIOS if the option for Integrated Graphics is disabled. If the option is disabled, I would suggest you to enable and check.



Note: Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems
resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.




Let us know how it goes.
