Windows 10: speeding up or changing laptop Intel HD Graphics 4000

My laptop has an Intel i7=3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz, 8GB ram and a fast 1TB ssd.
The slowest part of the system is the Intel HD graphics 4000
The laptop originally came with Windows 8.1 which I upgraded to Windows 10 home (now ver. 1804).
Ever since I upgraded to W10, the graphics driver has been a problem: blank screen on waking up, slow graphics.
Because the laptop came with W8.1 the manufacturer's website (Toshiba) does not have drivers for W10 for this laptop (S855-S5254). That is why I downloaded a driver from the Intel website.
I updated the graphics driver to the latest I could find version 10.18.10.4885 dated 12/11/2017 at the Intel website. It helped a bit but not much.

Is there anything else I can do or tweak to make the graphics less of a bottleneck?

I'm no expert but I think this graphic chip is part of the cpu, so there is no way to change it. Correct?

Anything that would help short of buying another laptop?

Thank you.
