Intel 7th-10th Gen Processor Graphics-Windows update blocked by powershell.

2.90 Ghz core i5-10th gen DCH driver

Is this an important update? How to get around powershell without jumping through hoops? Thanks for any advice. I am a simple customer, not a graphics technician. Help.

I understand how confusing it can be when a graphics driver update is being blocked by PowerShell, especially when you simply want to keep your system up to date without dealing with complicated technical steps.

To better understand what is happening, could you confirm:

  • What is the exact processor model (for example, Core i5-10210U)?
  • What is your laptop/system model?
  • What Windows version and build are you using?
  • Are you seeing the update through Intel Driver & Support Assistant (DSA) or Windows Update?
  • What is the exact PowerShell error/message you receive? A screenshot would also be helpful.
  • Are you trying to install the driver manually, or is Windows/DSA attempting to install it automatically?

If the issue is specifically related to running a PowerShell script, you can use a temporary execution-policy bypass rather than permanently changing your system's security settings:

 

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoProfile -File .\yourscript.ps1

 

Here, Bypass applies only to that particular run, while NoProfile prevents PowerShell from loading the user's profile.

 

However, before trying PowerShell commands, share the exact error message and system details with us. We can then determine whether this driver update is applicable to your system and guide you through the simplest approach.
