Use the drivers for your graphics provided by Lenovo.

As far as disappearing, contact Microsoft. They do driveby driver replacement without your knowledge or permission.

With the DCH driver model, context menu-based control panels are disallowed. Instead, you will see a replacement application installed via the MS App Store. It will be in your Start Menu with name Intel Graphics Command Center. There is also a version of the Intel Graphics Control Panel that can be installed from the App Store if you like the old format better.

"so i should uninstall the one they automatically installed when i restarted and install the one they never updated on their website since 2018?"

Yes. And complain to Lenovo about not updating their drivers.

Also, you can block Windows update from replacing your drivers.
