Windows 10: Windows wants to update Intel Graphics driver to a version which is already installed

Hi,


I'm using a Lenovo Ideapad C340-14IWL running Windows 10 home version 20H2, build version 19042.662.


For some reason, windows keeps wanting to update the Intel Graphics driver to version 26.20.100.7323.

This is not the latest Intel Integrated Graphics driver, which is version 27.20.100.8935.


Of course, when I install the latest version from the Intel Driver website, I get an error:


"A current driver on your PC may be better than the driver we're trying to install. We'll keep trying to install"


But, when I install the exact same version as Windows update manager wants to install, I get the same error message.


Question: How can I stop this message from popping up?


Ideally with the latest Intel Graphics driver installed. I already tried installing the version windows wants to install with device manager. I tried disabling windows from updating any kind of drivers, but both don't work.








:)

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver not compatible with Windows 10

Hi Jae,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10!

Some programs and/or drivers might not work as expected in Windows 10 as some manufacturers are still in the process of manufacturing the new definitions of the drivers.

In this case, you can download an older version of the driver and install it in compatibility mode with a compatible version of Windows.

For example, you can download Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator version compatible to Windows 7 and install in compatibility mode in Windows 10. Refer to the following steps:

Step 1: Download and save the driver on the desktop from the following link.

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows* 7(exe)

Step 2: Install the driver in compatibility mode.

• Right click on the driver, and click on Properties.
• Go to the Compatibility tab.
• Check the box for Run this program in compatibility mode for:
• Select Windows 7 in the list of Operating systems.
• Click OK.
