New 15.36.33.64.4889 video driver for 4th gen. CPU -- sloppy release notes

[PPage2]

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
