Windows 10: Windows 10 November 2019 Update gets Intel graphics driver support

Intel is rolling out a new version of its DCH graphics driver for Windows 10, advancing the version number to 26.20.100.7323. The biggest highlight of Intel’s graphics driver update is support for the Windows 10 November 2019 Update, also known as version 1909.

Windows 10 November 2019 Update, which is expected to be released to the general public next month, will run without any major issues on a PC that has Intel DCH driver 26.20.100.7323 or newer.

In our testing, Windows 10 November 2019 Update operated smoothly with the new Intel graphics driver. It’s also worth pointing out that performance remains unchanged even if you use the older version of the graphics driver with Windows 10 version 1909, but newer version could help you mitigate potential compatibility issues.

Here’s the full changelog of this driver update:

• Fixes an issue where some gamers may experience crashes when resizing Ultra-HD Blu-Ray PowerDVD playback.
• Issues observed in Arma 3, Creo has been addressed.
• Includes fixes for Intel Direct3D 11 extension.
• Another bug where screen blinks during the test of the 3DMark Time Spy benchmark has been resolved.
• A bug causing the system to hang when unplugging detachable internal panel is fixed.
• Includes security improvements for all 10th-gen processors.

According to Intel, the update should address a bug where graphical anomalies are observed on Windows 10. The issue can be experienced when resuming laptop or 2-in-1s from sleep.

The following Windows 10 versions support latest Intel DCH graphics driver:

• Fall Creators Update (1709), April 2018 Update (1803), October 2018 Update, May 2019 Update (1903), and November 2019 Update (1909).

All necessary Intel drivers are shipped automatically through Windows Update, but you can use the Driver Assistant and Support Tool from Intel to download and install the most up-to-date driver.

After downloading the Intel Driver & Support Assistant Tool, you have to launch it from the system tray and follow the simple click-based wizard. You will need to click the update button from the tool’s website to install new drivers for the graphics card, WiFi adapter, and even Bluetooth.

Driver update may not show up


It’s also important to understand that installation of Intel’s updated graphics drivers might fail and Driver Assistant Tool will show graphics card as up-to-date on some computers.

In this case, it’s possible that your computer manufacturer manages Intel drivers and you should look for drivers from their website, not directly from Intel.

Unfortunately, you won’t find these graphics drivers updated on manufacturer’s site and you will have to wait for weeks or months for a newer version of the graphics driver.

Some manufacturers will begin shipping updated drivers next month when Windows 10 November 2019 Update rollout kicks off.

Windows 10 Update keeps installing old Intel UHD Graphics 630 post DCH driver release

Hi there - I would just like to ask a question regarding updating of Intel hardware beyond November 2018 with the new DCH drivers.

I am having issues in not being able to update my Intel Graphics UHD 630 drivers properly, ever since Microsoft/Intel implemented the new DCH standard.

I have an Intel i7-8700 processor, 16GB RAM and running Windows 10 Pro (1903) with a fully compatible Gigabyte Z370 motherboard (Socket 1151) - it has been working brilliantly
since May last year.

The Intel Driver & Support software has been working perfectly in tandem with Windows Update with no issues, until the DCH drivers were implemented in November 2018.

AS soon as the Intel 630 HD Graphics v25.20.100.6444 was installed, the Intel update software thought it was a customised driver and wouldn't permit it to be updated to the new
May 2019 driver. (v26.20.100.6890).

So, with aid from Intel I manually installed the latest driver by disconnecting my PC from the internet, updating the driver, and lo and behold, the new driver successfully worked,
and all was well.

Until that is, Windows Update was invoked (as it invariably does from time to time) - it forcibly believes that the May 2019 driver is not the most recent version and falls back
to the November 2018 driver, and then face the same problem where it won't update anymore, and thinks it is a customised driver.

I have changed nothing in my hardware or software configuration since the PC was brand new last year. It is purely because of this DCH driver from November 2018. Intel have suggested
that I raise this issue here in the Microsoft forum as the only changes to my system have been the DCH driver which I understand to be a joint authorship between Intel and Microsoft.

I would like to understand if others are experiencing the same problem and how it was averted.

I understand I can force Windows Update not to update drivers (and perhaps ask Intel's updater to do that) - but I have never had to do this before, not until now with this new DCH
standard. I have changed no other hardware.

System specification:

Intel i7-8700 CPU

Intel Graphics UHD 630 (v25.20.100.6444 - forced; otherwise 26.20.100.6890 when I stop Windows update from invoking)

16 GB RAM

Gigabyte Z370N Wifi (note, there are no customised DCH drivers for this motherboard for Intel Graphics or Windows 10 that I could see)

LG OLED65C7T 4K HDR Dolby Vision TV

Yamaha RXA-3070

Windows 10 Pro (64 bit) Build 1903

Best wishes and thanks in advance!

Mike.
