Woohoo! New video driver for my wonderful Haswell CPU:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27441/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-1-15-36-?product=80939 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27441/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-1-15-36-?product=80939
Interestingly the first sentence states that this new driver "is simply a security update" -- then below, under What is new?, we read about the relatively boring bug fixes and EDID override.
Then below all that is a link
https://downloadmirror.intel.com/27441/eng/ReleaseNotes_15.36.34.4889.pdf https://downloadmirror.intel.com/27441/eng/ReleaseNotes_15.36.34.4889.pdf
to the Release Notes, but when perusing said PDF, we find that the "security update" is merely a rename of the installer from setup.exe to igxpin.exe.
QUESTION # 1 So what is "insecure" about the installer for a graphics driver being named setup.exe??
And FYI note that the release notes PDF incorrectly gives the version number as 4578, which is the previous version from a year ago, and the release date as January 12, 2017 - should be 2018.
The release notes for year-old 4578, under Known Issues, lists these 8:
Doom 3 - Corruption is seen in the main menu and in the intro of the game
Two active taskbars sometimes seen when hot unplugging DP monitor in extended mode
Corruption seen on Outlook 2013 reports
Hitman™ Absolution game stops after cinematic when quality settings are high
Green corruption seen with Overlay + YUV +xvYcc/YCbCr enabled on HDMI
Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain- Corruption on water
Angry Birds - Corruption is seen During Maximizing & Minimizing
Overlay application does not work when opening it in dual display configuration with a tiled display and eDP
QUESTION # 2 Have these been fixed?

The same is true of the shiny new 15.33.46.4885 for my atom.
No mention of igxpin.exe in the Installation_Readme.txt at all although the release notes say this has changed.

One hopes that it is just a slip up and that it will be renamed back to the known and loved setup.exe
