Windows 10: Windows update automatically installs an older version of the Intel graphics driver

HelloI have the same problem for a long time. After installing the drivers from the motherboard manufacturer e.g. Version V31.0.101.3302, the Windows Update service downgrades to * .101.1371. For now, I have paused the update for a week, but I don't know what to do in this situation. Additionally, I noticed that in the optional updates, my current version * 3302 is available for selection.

Windows 10 Updates installed older Intel Graphics Drivers

I just updated my Intel HD Graphics Drivers using the Intel Driver Update Utility. After successfully installing and rebooting my system, I noticed that Windows Update decided to reinstall the graphics drivers. I checked to find that the new drivers were
an older version. I had installed the 15.33.38.64.4252 drivers, and they were overwritten by the 10.18.15.4279 drivers.

My question is: why is this happening? How can I prevent Windows Update from overwriting drivers?

Thanks.

EDIT: Further investigating indicates that it wasn't Windows Update that was installing the older graphics drivers, it was the Intel Driver Update Utility that keeps getting old drivers. WU was trying to overwrite the old drivers that IDUU installed, and
that resulted in conflicts and blue screens. I uninstalled the drivers, let WU do its thing, and all is working fine.

My guess is that the 10.18.15.4279 drivers are the latest stable version, according to Microsoft. The manual download for these drivers are here (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25308/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-15-40-4th-Gen-). However,
the latest drivers are here (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25489/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-15-40-4th-Gen-),
but I guess these have yet to be signed off by Microsoft.

Can someone please confirm this? Should I download the latest drivers, or just leave it to WU?

Thank you.

 

Windows Update keeps installing older Intel Graphics driver

Windows 10 - 17134.191 Update insists installing and older Intel Graphics driver over the manually installed newest version available. Only started doing this recently. How do I stop this from happening?

 

Why did Win 10 20H1 keep installing older Intel graphics driver even after newer version driver manually installed?

Hello John,

I am not sure how the older graphics driver installed, the exact steps to reproduce are:

1. Install Windows 10 20H1 on my laptop Lenovo Y540 through the official Microsoft media creation tool, after the system installed, never install any third-party software, keep the system intact;

2. Download the Intel official driver from the link the first post introduced and install it, use dxdiag.exe to check the Intel graphics driver version and it is v27.20.100.8336, that's OK;

3. Don't shut down the laptop and leave it be, after several hours, the older version driver is automatically installed, and the dxdiag.exe shows the Intel graphics driver version is v26.20.100.7637 now and I never see any explicit update notification related
to the graphics driver.





The CPU is Intel 8750h with processor graphics UHD630.

Here's a piece of news similar to the problem I encountered:

Windows Update bug triggers driver update loop on Windows 10

Is that a bug Windows 2004 specific? Should I just wait for Microsoft to fix it?

Thanks.
