As Microsoft Windows 10 launch approaches, many users are looking for Beta graphics drivers that support Intel products on Windows 10. Unlike previous Windows releases, Intel is providing Beta drivers to Microsoft directly. The Intel drivers will be available to end users via http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ Windows Update. Many end users are accustomed to getting Beta drivers for pre-release Windows directly from Intel, so we've taken extra care to make sure the Windows Update process is as seamless and trouble-free as possible.

When Windows 10 is released, Intel will be providing Win10 graphics drivers for supported Intel products directly on Intel® Download Center. Until that time, please continue to update your Win10 drivers via Windows Update.

    It seems I actually have an i7 3630QM Ivy Bridge setup - the only driver version I've gotten from Windows Update is years old. Is this right?

    10.18.10.4252= 3094

    10.18.15.4256= 2810

    The older branch is a bit faster in 2D GDI Benchmark on Windows 10.

    Just got an update a few minutes ago via windows Auto-update, and once again, it failed to install. Back to square one. Still disabled in device manager; uninstalling the device in device manager then manually updating the driver yields the same result.

    C'mon, Intel. Make a driver that works, folks.

    This is somehow typically for Intel. Windows 10 has been launched officially and whilst other companies like Nvidia and AMD did release drivers on their own website, Intel wasn't ready at launch, instead relies on Microsoft Beta updates. This is a big Windows launch and once again Intel is slower than others.

    Hi all,

    Our server posted the driver 7/28 though it is still not searchable in Download Center for some reason. I'm having this investigated. In the meantime, the direct link to the driver is updated in the original post of this thread above, or check the sticky in Graphics section root, also the link is below.

    What about 3rd Gen with intel hd graphics 4000? Will it be available?

    Will the 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 3000/2000 get new drivers for Windows 10? I'm on Windows 10 Pro (Final Release) and Windows Update downloaded and installed the old 9.17.10.4229 drivers... no beta or production drivers were found, despite the page for /message/315736# 315736 Intel® Iris™, Iris™ Pro, and HD Graphics Beta Driver for Windows* 10 stating that the Beta driver downloads are valid for 3000/2000.

    2nd Gen products will have an inbox driver provided on WU, no further Windows10 driver support will be provided.

    Would you have any idea when the inbox driver will be provided on WU for 2nd gen products. I can not search it or find any reference to it from any other source, WU says no updates detected and with out it I have no laptop Display and I am having to connect the hdmi to my TV.

    Latest update! If i uninstall my hd drivers but leave the hdmi lead plugged in and turn off my wifi then restart my computer, the laptop display comes on with the basic windows display adapter. I can then turn on my wifi and the driver auto updates and the laptop display works fine until I restart the computer. I have set sleep mode to 30 mins of inactivity and so far, wake from sleep I still have a display, I just can not shut down or remove my hdmi lead.

    UPDATE: All resolved, having found a friend with an acer on hd3000 graphics working happily, I revisited the steps i had taken and realised the only thing i had not done was check for a bios update. I found this to be causing the problem. Bios updated and all is well

    An inbox driver is built into the OS and should install automatically during the OS setup. It should also be available on WU.

    Intel commits when we a big mistake

    forgets the GMA 3600 and other products que gave quick profit.

    I ask how says there will be drivers for that product and then declares that, no.

    I hope will correct the mistake they made on twitter saying that GMA3600 will work on W10

    I hope that really makes this product works on W10 or will stick to the tarnished image

    good luck
