This driver supports the following:

5th Generation Intel® Core Processors with Intel HD graphics, Intel Iris™graphics, Intel Iris™Pro graphics and select Pentium®/ Celeron® Processors with Intel® HD graphics for Microsoft Windows* 8.1, Microsoft Windows* 8 and Microsoft Windows* 7 operating systems.

4th Generation Intel® Core™Processors with Intel HD graphics, Intel Iris™graphics and Intel Iris Pro graphics and select Pentium®/ Celeron® Processors with Intel® HD graphics for Microsoft Windows* 8.1, Microsoft Windows* 8 and Microsoft Windows* 7 operating systems.

New Features in this release:

• Support for the newly launched H-series, R-series, and S-series 5th Generation Intel Core processors.

• Display Scaling Option is Now "Sticky" User Preference

Scaling support in control panel has been changed to improve user experience. Previously, the set of scaling options available to the user was tied to the currently selected resolution and any change to the resolution caused the user selected scaling option to be lost. In the new implementation, the user selected scaling option is orthogonal to the current resolution and expresses the user's preference/intent for scaling behavior, regardless of the current resolution. The driver will remember this scaling preference and apply it for future display mode sets performed either in the graphics control panel OR via OS control panel.

• Forced Application Scaling

The control panel also offers a new "forced application scaling" option where the user selected scaling option above for desktop will also be applied for full screen applications (generally games or media players), overriding whatever scaling mode the application and/or DirectX runtime/Operating System specify. This is intended to allow users to force "Stretch Full Screen" or "Maintain Aspect Ratio" scaling to address problems reported by users with games running in "Centered" scaling mode - particularly DirectX10 and 11 games and/or on Windows 8/8.1. Centered mode gives a bad user experience when running games as significantly lower than native resolution (e.g. to improve frame rate) on displays with very high resolutions. Intel has identified several root causes for this behavior:

It looks like the J1900 uses the same driver set as the Ivy Bridge CPUs, not the Haswell or Broadwell CPUs. It's listed under these current drivers: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24972/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-32-bit 32bit https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24973/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-64-bit 64bit

Thanks so much for that link! Now I have the most update to date driver EVER!~ Very much thanks!

Hi ,

Nowadays, most of the demanding games have a higher VRAM Requirement. However, despite the lack of resources, the games can be tricked and a false amount of VRAM can be displayed by editing the registry. The registry tweak works on HD 4400+ GPUs (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\GMM\REG_DWORD Dedicated Segment Size and would love it see it work on 2nd Generation and 3rd Generation GPUs too.

Hi,

What about issue connected to high CPU usage. Latest driver still shows that it's a problem - even while listening music in AIMP3!

On my 1920x1200 monitor from Mini HDMI of NUC5i5 (HD Graphics 6000) running 64-bit Windows 8.1, after resume from sleep there is sometimes a bit of graphics "garbage" in the bottom 10% or so of the monitor (the area between 1080 and 1200?). The "garbage" goes away if I do something like move a window over top of it, or unplug/re-plug the Mini HDMI cable - the "garbage" may "flicker" and may change when the mouse cursor is moved. This also happened with the 4206 Beta driver, which I needed to avoid terrible whole screen "flickering" after resume from sleep that had occurred in couple driver versions after 4080.

Hello. I am also finding that Chrome (Version 43.0.2357.130 m) freezes whenever HTML5 video (Youtube, Vimeo etc.) is played after updating my graphics drivers to version 15.36.21.64.4222. This does not occur when using Internet Explorer.

Lenovo X1 Carbon

Windows 8.1 Pro

Core i7-5500U

Intel HD Graphics 5500

For information, Lenovo's "System Update" software is pushing graphics driver version 10.18.14.4206 (not .4222) on to machines and this is causing the same issue (that's how I first discovered the problem). Lenovo support have been no help and advised re-installing Windows. Reverting to graphics driver version 15.36.19.64.4170 resolves the issue. This further supports the theory that the problem occurs specifically with Broadwell.

Please resolve this issue in the next version of the graphics driver, thank you.

Hi Terrapin

Please see this thread for resolution to your issue Thanks!

I'm having issues of artifacts, flickering, reboots (no BSOD) and "Display driver stop responding and has recovered" errors on my i3-5010U CPU, 5500 graphics, Win7 64bit mini pc system when playing videos:

1. Youtube, both on Chrome 43.0.2357.130 and MSIE 11.0.9600.17843.

2. Skype 7.6.85.103 video call and webcam test.

3. VLC Media player 2.2.1.

Intel Driver Utility 2.0 also has artifacts, and doesn't recognize any installed Intel drivers. On Auto Detect I get an empty list.

I have tried driver versions 4222, 4170, 4018 and these issues exist on all versions. (July 4th update: Version 4235: issues still exist)

Somehow Windows Media Player plays video without these issues.

This is an example of the artifacts and the error message.

Hello,

I am suspecting that there is a bug on this driver.

On the latest build of Firefox, there seems to be artifacts on pictures when viewing it on the browser.

This only happened ONCE. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of it.

The artifact looks like a white streak of lines but it is cut off. I tried my best to re-create it.

Here is what it looked like (note that this is not the actual bug but I used paint to draw the lines to give a visual representation of what it would look like)

Reloading the page seems to make it go away.

I will try to re-create it but it only happened once on a picture. I have no clue if it's just a hiccup on Firefox or the graphics driver...

P.S. I would like to also add that playback of 4K videos on YouTube using Firefox may cause black screen flickering. It happens randomly.

hi, i wanted to upgrade my drivers because of the nvidia optimus scaling issue but i can't ! intel installer tells me that this driver is not verified for my laptop or something like that ...

Hello Corentin,

Please create a new thread since this one is about a different issue.

Hi Audionics,

Have you tried Chrome? Please post here your system report here. How to get it?

Intel(R) Iris(TM) Pro Graphics 5200 ROOT\DISPLAY\0000 This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.

Last version of Driver Installed manually (10.18.14.4222).

Windows 8.1 x64 (all Updates installed).

Help me please ...

[JKosi]

3D Blu ray frame-packing playback is defective with 4222, and I could not get it working with 4080 either. One stereoscopic image will lag behind the other creating a distorted view and unwatchable image. This issue has persisted for several months and really needs to be addressed. I WANT to help fix this, so please advise.

Hi,

my lenovo laptop G50-70 uses a Intel(R) HD graphics 4400 graphics card. after i downloaded this new driver the dedicated video memory only increased to 160mb from a previous 32mb. i still can't play the games i want to because they require a minimum of 512mb of dedicated memory. please help.

[Kevin_M_Intel]

Note that the Intel® graphics controllers uses shared memory that is taken from the RAM memory installed on your computer.

The feature that sets the amount of memory that is used for video is called Intel® Dynamic Video Memory Technology and this will make the graphics controller only to use the amount of RAM memory that it requires to run the different applications or software's.

I am afraid to say that there is no way to preset this to a specific value; however, you can limit the maximum memory that it can take only. You will see this option usually in BIOS and you will have 3 options, 128MB, 256MB and maximum DVMT. Other values can be found as 512MB, etc but this depends on the motherboard manufacturer and the amount of RAM memory installed on your computer.

[sbaha2]

Hi ,thanks for your reply,

I've gone into the BIOS and the UEFI software to try and limit the maximum DVMT,but my laptop doesn't allow me to change it.Also I've tried creating a REG_DWORD value by running registry editor(regedit.exe) and creating the value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\GMM buy I can't find the folder GMM under Intel.

[Anonymous]

The amount of memory to share with the embedded graphics of the processor depends on the amount of physical memory in your system. Now the laptop manufacturer defines the maximum quantity of memory to share on the BIOS.

Thanks again,

My laptop has 8 gb of RAM and my manufacturer is lenovo. Since I can't change the amount of dedicated video memory being used from either the BIOS or UEFI, should I wait for Intel to release a new driver update or should I try creating a DWORD value in the registry editor?
