Latest Intel HD 5500 driver update

EPoon1 — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 07:57:35 GMT

In Device Manager, under Display Adapters, I can see my driver version as being 20.19.15.4549 (11/10/2016) where as the latest listed on the Intel site is 15.40.28.4501 (8/12/2016). Am I mistakenly comparing two different "driver version" labels or do manufacturer drivers have something to do with this? I am pretty confused. Thank you.

So only the last four digits matter. But how can the driver that I have be newer than the one Intel offers?

Build 4549 must have been installed by Windows update.

Check the "digital signer" in device manager.
