Hello clipnote,
Thank you for reaching out. The Control Areas mentioned would be the Intel Driver & Support Assistant, Intel Graphics Command Center, and Intel Graphics Software.
Here's how these software components function and their purpose.
Intel Driver Support & Assistant (IDSA):
This tool helps you detect and install the latest drivers for your Intel hardware, including graphics. It is primarily used for maintaining your system with up-to-date Intel drivers.
Intel Graphics Command Center:
A legacy interface allowing you to configure display settings, manage custom profiles, and optimize application for Intel graphics. It provides a visual and interactive way to adjust your system's graphics performance.
Intel Graphics Software
The latest and most feature-rich platform, combining optimization, driver management, and performance tuning.It replaces older tools like Arc Control and Intel Graphics Command Center.
My recommendation is to keep Intel Graphics Software, as it is the newest platform with comprehensive features, including seamless optimizations, detailed display options, and performance monitoring. While you can safely uninstall the Intel Graphics Command Center if you are using Intel Graphics Software, as it consolidates its functionality. Lastly, you may retain IDSA if you prefer automatic updates, but if you prefer to update your drivers manually, you may remove it.
Since you're using a Lenovo computer, it's important to verify driver compatibility. Lenovo often customizes drivers for their systems to ensure optimal performance and stability
You may check Lenovo's Support Page for graphics drivers tailored to your system.
If you prefer using the latest Intel drivers, ensure they're compatible and note that some features or optimizations may differ.

I look forward to your response!
