Hi magor,

Thank you for reporting the Intel Iris Xe Graphics driver installation issues you're experiencing after your system crash and Windows reinstallation. I understand how frustrating it must be to have the same crash behavior occur when trying to install the graphics driver.

The error code 0x8000846B (-2147449749) from Intel Driver & Support Assistant suggests there's a specific installation conflict that we need to resolve.

To help diagnose this driver installation problem, could you please provide:

What specific version of the Intel Iris Xe Graphics driver are you trying to install?
Have you tried using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely remove any existing graphics drivers before attempting the installation?
Have you tried downloading the driver manually from Intel's website instead of using the Driver & Support Assistant?
Could you please run Intel System Support Utility and provide the report? Download: Intel® System Support Utility for Windows*
If you're not comfortable with SSU, please provide your system model and specifications (CPU model, motherboard, RAM, etc.)

This information will help me identify the root cause of the installation failure and provide appropriate solutions.

Best regards,
