Direct X and Excel 3D Maps Problem

HelpMe2 — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 20:06:14 GMT

All of our HP Elitebooks starting with Gen 5's have this same problem. Excel 3D Maps no longer works related to Direct X and according to Intel they had to break it because of a vulnerability they found. Their fix for that was to break Direct X. I have been trying to find drivers for my Processor and Video that are before this patch but have been unable to. Does anyone know which drivers I need for the following hardware and where I can find them?

Processor: Intel Core i5-8250U 1.6GHz

Video: Intel UHD Graphics 620

Unfortunately, that doesn't give me much to go on. I wouldn't have reached out on this forum if I hadn't already scoured the internet looking for a solution and tried all the latest drivers I could find and several computers. I tried this same thing on a brand new HP ZBook with Office 365 and got the same results. I don't understand why Microsoft hasn't come up with a fix by now, but seeing as Intel is the underlying cause I would think they would do something about it.

I don't know exactly what gen my processor is, but Intel's DirectX 12 problem applies.
