Arrandale I5, HD Graphics and Windows 10 Driver

DHera1 — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 19:11:27 GMT

Hello,

I have a laptop with a i5 Arrandale CPU and HD Graphics for the GPU.

I just installed the final release of Windows 10 with a clean installation.

Windows 10 has downloaded a driver for my intel GPU.

Unfortunately the brightness control no longer works. The brightness is turned down with the cursor up.

Do you have a solution?

Thank you

My brightness control works only with standard Microsoft VGA Driver.

I have exact same problem on my Vaio with 3rd Gen i5 HD graphics 4000.. Apparently it's an issue with Sony who haven't yet made drivers for Windows 10 and have suggested people to wait till October - November! 😕

Let's hope someone comes up with a compatible beta release till then! Keep an eye for beta iris hd drivers..

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that iris drivers can solve the problem. Current iris drivers are incompatible with firsts generation of GPU HD Graphics.

The Arrandale CPU would no longer supported by intel? :(. With the brightness problem my compupter is unusable. my S13 is not even in the list proposed by Sony. There are others I3 but not my Arrandale I5

I just read that Sony provides driver update for pc which were equipped with 8 or 8.1.

For those equipped with Windows 7, Sony provides only for information and no new drivers. I do not see how this problem can be solved without new driver. They may just say : Not compatible ...

I am worried, especially that it is a clean installation, and I do not have the sony cd resettlement.

Yes even read about that on the support page! Even the windows 8/8.1 people are yet to get the drivers.. The release date for Windows 7 upgraders isn't mentioned! Hopefully they'll do it soon! Fingers crossed! 😕

bummer. you should have created the recovery DVD discs on your Sony laptop when you had the chance, fixide.

my brother's Sony VAIO VPCEB44FX laptop recently had a hard drive that's making loud buzzing sounds, which indicates that the hard drive is about to fail and I'm ordering a replacement hard drive. his laptop also uses 1st generation Arrandale Intel HD Graphics - anyways, I'm not putting Windows 10 on there since the laptop was manufactured in late 2010 and not reliable enough to run it and the pre-installed Windows 7 operating system runs just fine. once I install the new hard drive, I'll recover the system by using the recovery DVDs I made more than a year ago.

it's not just the drivers from Sony that are not yet Windows 10 compatible. the bundled Sony applications (VAIO Media Gallery, VAIO Control Center, Sony Notebook Utilities like Battery Checker, VAIO Gate, VAIO Update) - any app from Sony may not work correctly on Windows 10 until Sony provides newer versions of those Sony VAIO apps that can work on Windows 10.

Sony worldwide has not yet allowed the Windows 10 upgrade until either October 2015 or November 2015 for those Sony laptops that had pre-installed Windows 8 or 8.1.

Most Vaio laptops have an inbuilt recovery system to get back to the originally installed windows.. To access, turn on ur pc and hit f10 while it's booting.. That should start the recovery process

You can try Windows Update.

Unfortunately, the driver provided by windows update is from 2012 and have the issue presented in this topic: The brightness is blocked to a minimum.

Please wait for Sony release the VISIO drivers. http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/os10upgrade.pl http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/os10upgrade.pl

Sony will never release windows 10 drivers for Arrandale, Sandy Bridge, laptops or other laptop released with windows 7 (Intel HD Graphics Gen1 and HD Graphics 2000-3000). They only provide "Information regarding Limitation and Issues". Sony will only update the drivers of computers released with Windows 8 or 8.1...

"We are testing supported models and will be providing the results as quickly as possible. We plan to release Windows 10 upgrade information and, for Windows 8 and 8.1 models, drivers, applications and detailed information on the schedule below based on the operating system originally installed on the PC."

https://www.sony-asia.com/microsite/support/win10/en/index.html Sony : Windows 10 Information for Sony VAIO PC

You can see another person with the same issue on this microsoft thread and stuck on win7 : https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/brightness-setting-not-working-on-intel-hd/6fdd0073-a5cd-45ea-9204-b4bbb801431e?auth=1 Brightness setting not working on Intel HD Graphics driver - Microsoft Community

So without intel help these computers will not be updated on Windows 10. It's a shame for equipment that is not that old; especially because of its free, Windows 10 is still a great opportunity to update. Linux will be the only solution when Microsoft will stop w7 support.

Unfortunately, according to this page, I think this generation is also abandoned by Intel:

It's not just the Arrandale edition of Intel HD Graphics. Clarkdale is also part of the 1st generation of Intel HD Graphics.

actually, both Arrandale and Clarkdale go back to early 2010. so the hardware is about 5 years old.

yeah the Windows Update driver for 1st gen Intel HD Graphics (latest is 8.15.10.2900) is for Windows 8.x only and has issues with Windows 10, even if the latest cumulative update for Win10 is installed.

And there are other hardware & driver problems with Sony VAIO laptops (ones made in mid-2011 and later), even if Win10 was installed on there.

http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-info.pl?info_id=1596 http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-info.pl?info_id=1596

Sony laptops with "switchable" hybrid AMD/Intel graphics (I truly HATE these switchable graphics) will crash with blue screen errors on Win10.

And Sony laptops with RICOH PCIe Memory Stick Host Controller will not function on Win10 and will display a yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager (Ricoh is far worse than Intel since Ricoh does not have any Win10 compatible card reader drivers available to any PC manufacturers - Toshiba has http://support.toshiba.com/support/viewContentDetail?contentId=4005248 Win8/Win8.1 compatible Ricoh card reader drivers but not Win10 versions)

I'll stick with Win7 and not upgrade to Win10 in 2015 on my brother's Sony VAIO VPCEB laptop since it's really not worth it.

Hi,

I have a first generation HD Graphics and I'm currently on Windows 10.

It reset my graphics version to the first one, but whatever.

The only problem I have is the old control panel... I want the new one!!!
