hd graphics 530 freezing

[BJurg]

Installed driver 24.20.100.6025 on my windows 10 Home computer (ver. 1709) using Intel Skylake and only an Intel HD Graphics 530 display driver. The screen freezes for 2-3 seconds and when it does so there is a random pattern of pixel squares that show up. Once the screen unfreezes, the display is OK until the next time it freezes. I have my "Power options" settings set to "High Performance" (this is a desktop computer).because using "Balanced" is even worse.

Are there any display driver settings that might make this better?

I have been updating the display driver for years and keep having various display issues with the Intel HD Graphics 530.

The same here but with newest I7 8550 , newest update for windows and newest intel drivers doesn't work together. System freez very often , like every 15min.

Wanna G. Thanks for your help, but going back to 15.65.5.4982 did help reveal an issue, but also it created a new one. Most of the pixilation and screen tearing seemed to stop. However the new issue is: I had the SYSTEM freeze completely. (I had to drop the system to recover - I could not get task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) to come up. The system was completely frozen and would not respond to either the mouse or keyboard.)

What was revealed to me was I had "Spybot Search & Destroy 2.6" installed and somehow with this product "BitDefender Treat Scanner" was imbedded into it. I had tried to cleanup the "Spybot" and remove the "BitDefender", but the "BitDefender" kept coming back. So (for the time being), I removed "Spybot Search & Destroy 2.6" and all of its components and ran a BitDefender removal tool (from BitDefender). (Yes, I still have an Anti-virus program).) I used Spybot only as Anti-Malware. I also understand that Spybot 2.7 may resolve this BitDefender issue, when it gets issued.

I have re-installed the newest driver 24.20.100.6025. I also have to set my desktop computer, power option settings to "High Performance" (Note: this is a Microsoft issue as this setting is not kept.).

At this point in time with the Spybot software removed, my graphics display seems to be working better. I will continue to monitor this issue.

Thanks again

Without "Spybot Search & Destroy 2.6" my graphics display appears to be running correctly. I also had "reset default" in the "Intel graphics settings" under the "Video" tab.
