(NUC8i7H*K) - Windows Upgrade Installs UNKNOWN Intel HD Graphics 630 Driver

[MLevi]

Hi Folks,

For anyone with these NUCs and who participate in the Windows Insider Fast Ring, I noticed when I upgraded to Build 18272, windows installed an updated Intel Graphics Driver 25.20.100.6371 that I cannot find for the H*Ks.

I've looked here

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/98909/Intel-HD-Graphics-630 Downloads for Intel® HD Graphics 630

and here

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/130409/Intel-Core-i7-8809G-Processor-with-Radeon-RX-Vega-M-... Downloads for Intel® Core™ i7-8809G Processor with Radeon™ RX Vega M GH graphics (8M Cache, up to 4.20 GHz)

and here

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/126143/Intel-NUC-Kit-NUC8i7HVK Downloads for Intel® NUC Kit NUC8i7HVK

Is the plan to post this driver on any of the download pages relevant to H*Ks?

Hello MikeLevine

Thank you for posting in the Intel® community. Bear in mind that since you are using a beta set up the OS and drivers are under testing prior to being officially released; generic graphics drivers' may be supported by different platforms. From these the different product teams, Intel or other manufacturers (OEM, third-party board manufacturers, etc.), then validate/customize the driver for their systems such as Intel® NUC products. Please keep monitoring our download center for new Intel® driver releases. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ Hope this helps.

Thanks Leonardo.

I would very much like to know what this Intel Graphics driver changes and what's different in this version.

I can wait, but since it's installed, it would be very cool to know.

Looks like they posted it in the general Intel Graphics drivers download section:

Hello rhildinger,

The irony is this driver is newer than the version Windows installed.

The Windows installed version is 25.20.100.6371 and the version in the links you found are for version 25.20.100.6373.

I have tried to upgrade to the 25.20.100.6373 driver and Windows doesn't recognize it as a newer driver than the installed version.

Intel folks, what say you?

Hello MikeLevine

Thank you for the information.

• When you installed the Intel® driver version 25.20.100.6373 did you used the .exe file?
• Have you tested installing the driver manually? In case you have not tried Please follow these steps in order to update the graphics driver manually:

1. Download the graphics driver ZIP file: https://downloadmirror.intel.com/28289/a08/win64_25.20.100.6373.zip https://downloadmirror.intel.com/28289/a08/win64_25.20.100.6373.zip
2. Unzip the file to a designated location or folder.
3. Right-click Windows Start icon and open Device Manager.
4. Click "Yes" when prompted for permission from User Account Control.
5. Expand the Display adapters section.
6. Right-click the Intel® graphics entry and select Update Driver Software.
7. Click "Browse my computer for driver software".
8. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
9. Click "Have Disk".
10. Click "Browse".
11. Access the designated location or folder, and access a folder called "Graphics".
12. Select the file called "igdlh64" or "igdlh".
13. Click Open, then click OK, and finally click "Next". Drivers are now being installed.

Hi Leonardo,

I think the dialogue is useful, and I wanted say thanks for the instructions.

The issue, at the time of the post, was that 25.20.100.6371 was not available on the various places I go to for DLs here at Intel.

Updates have moved on to the next version now and I can verify that the Insiders Update to Windows 10 Build 18282.1000 pre-release 181109-1613, will install the latest version 25.20.100.6373.

I'm good to go, in terms of the driver also added to the various places to go to for current updates.
