Hello im03th, 

 

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.   

 

We have updated the Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows* [15.40] download fixing this bug, please follow these steps to perform a clean installation with the: 

  

  1. Download the latest driver and save it on the computer: 15.40.46.5144 
  2. Disconnect from the Internet so no new drivers are automatically installed by Windows Update.  
  3. Uninstall the driver and the Intel Graphics Control Panel from Control Panel Programs and Features.  
  4. Restart the computer.  
  5. Confirm in Device Manager Video Adapters the controller is listed as 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter' > if not, repeat steps 2 through 4.  
  6. If the adapter continues to be listed as ‘Intel HD Graphics’ or similar, and no other Intel Graphics driver is listed under 'Programs and Features' for removal, then it means Windows has switched to a previously installed Legacy driver. At this point we can remove Legacy drivers from Device Manager:  
    1. Right-click on 'Intel HD Graphics' or similar, and select 'Uninstall Device'  
    2. In the pop-up window make sure 'Delete the driver software for this device' is checked.  
    3. Click on 'Uninstall'.  
    4. Restart. (Repeat steps 6.1.1 through 6.1.4 until the device gets listed as 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter')  
  7. Install the DCH drivers that were downloaded on step 1 
  8. Restart the computer.  
  9. Reconnect to the Internet.  

  

I will be looking forward to hearing back from you, please let us know about the outcome. 

 

Regards,
