Intel Graphic Properties Missing From Windows 10 Context Menu.

[WKim7]

Hi there, I've lost the Intel Graphic Properties from the desktop context menu for quite sometimes now. I've been doing research on the internet and die trying to update my Intel Graphics for the fix, but it doesn't work. The Intel Graphic Settings is there, but not the Intel Graphic Properties. The internet told me that if the igfxcui from the registry is deleted, the button would disappear, but i checked its there. Updating Intel Driver wouldn't work either. I'm currently on Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 , Ver 21.20.16.4627. Tried using Intel Driver Support to update it to Ver 15.60.2.4901, but it says its not supported by my device. Tried Uninstalling my current Intel Graphics, and restarted my laptop but it redownloaded the current one again. Please help

Try drivers from this list https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/88355/Intel-HD-Graphics-520 Downloads for Intel® HD Graphics 520

Select OS from right pulldown menu. Hit "show more".

To bypass message "best driver is already installed" or "computer is not validated" install driver via have disk method as described at:

(ignore prolog about MS surface)

Hey Stefan, thanks for the tips. The have disk method worked, I've successfully updated my driver from Ver 21.20.16.4627 to Ver 23.20.16.4901. But it seems like it hasn't fix the main problem yet. My context menu still doesn't show Intel Graphics Properties. I've tried going to Device Manager, re-enabling the Intel Graphics from display adapter, still no result.

Check the registry for following entries

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1]

@="Intel Graphics Profiles"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1\DefaultIcon]

@="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\GfxUIEx.exe, 2"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1\shell\open\command]

@="GfxUIEx.exe %1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1]

@="Intel Graphics Profiles"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1\DefaultIcon]

@="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\GfxUIEx.exe, 2"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1\shell\open\command]

@="GfxUIEx.exe %1"

I've checked, mine's like this

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1]

@="Intel Graphics Profiles"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1\DefaultIcon]

@=C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\igdlh64.inf_amd64_daa5fd44d52a5762\GfxUIEx.exe, 2

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1\shell\open\command]

@=C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\igdlh64.inf_amd64_daa5fd44d52a5762\GfxUIEx.exe %1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1]

@="Intel Graphics Profiles"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1\DefaultIcon]

@="C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\igdlh64.inf_amd64_daa5fd44d52a5762\GfxUIEx.exe, 2

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Intel.GraphicsControlPanel.igp.1\shell\open\command]

@=C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\igdlh64.inf_amd64_daa5fd44d52a5762\GfxUIEx.exe %1

[Stefan3D]

Does the folder C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\igdlh64.inf_amd64_daa5fd44d52a5762 still exist?

[WKim7]

yes, its still there

[Stefan3D]

Looks like Windows has trouble reading from that location for some reason.

All i know is the folder FileRepository is write/delete protected by https://www.google.com/search?q=TakeOwnershipEx+site:microsoft.com TakeOwnerShipEx

It still should be readable though

I think its about time to format this laptop. Cause i just encountered another problem, my start menu is not working right now. FML
