Graphics Drivers revert back to manufacturer version

[YElla]

Hello,

So I am trying to update my graphics driver. I have read many posts on how to manually update the drivers, and I have been doing so. However, every time the driver finishes updating and I go back to verify the version in order to ensure the installation went fine, it doesn't. It shows the manufacturer's graphic card details and such and not the intel one (that I have recently installed).

I have an intel hd 620 and am not able to change my balanced settings to maximum. This was the only fix.

Could someone please let me know what else I can do in order to install the driver or at least it doesn't update back to the manufacturer version.

Regards,

Yosiefe

Hello yellaham,

The software drivers are generic versions and can be used for general purposes. However, computer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may have altered the features, incorporated customizations, or made other changes to the software or software packaging they provide which contain fixes specific to the OEM hardware the driver is intended for. To avoid any potential installation incompatibilities on your OEM system, Intel recommends that you check with your OEM and use the software provided by your system manufacturer. Intel and the computer original equipment manufacturer (OEM) may not provide technical support for some or all issues that could arise from the usage of this generic version of software drivers.You may want to install latest OEM driver available http://www.dell.com/support/home/cr/en/crbsdt1/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=JVM17 here.If you still want to install the generic graphics driver, please follow the next steps:

1. Download the https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26563/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-45-?product=96551 Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows* [15.45] Version: 15.45.14.4590 (Latest)
2. Disconnect the computer from the Internet.
3. Uninstall the graphics driver from programs and features.
4. Restart the computer.
5. Install the graphics driver downloaded before (step one).
6. Restart the computer.
7. Connect the computer to the Internet (if required).

If the driver wasn't updated please try a http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005629.html manual installation as you tried before (following the steps above)

*Disconnecting the computer from the Internet during the process prevents Windows Updates from looking for the graphics driver once you uninstall it.

If you went through this process and you keep on having issues I recommend you to contact the system manufacturer.http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19?lwp=rt Dell SupportHope this information helps.Don't hesitate in replying to this post in case you need further assistance.Regards,Juan Carlos
