Driver update

The system has informed me of the following update, which I have decided not to download and install due to the description provided;

Intel® Graphics - Windows® 10 DCH Drivers

Installing this Intel generic graphics driver will overwrite any customized driver from your Computer Manufacturer (OEM).

OEM drivers are handpicked, customized, and validated to resolve platform-specific issues, enable features and enhancements, and improve system stability. Intel’s generic graphics drivers are intended for testing, and we recommend using drivers from Dell. Report any issues found with this driver to Intel.

How do I tell the system I am not interested in the update so it doesn't show up every couple of days in the 'Notifications' box?

Once you PROPERLY transistion from your manufacturer's graphics to DCH, your manufacturer's customizations are maintained.

How to tell the system you are not interested?  You can hide the update for 30 days, or you can uninstall IDSA.  Actually, you should be using Dell's driver support anyway,

Thanks.

I also use the Dell Support Assistant to update drivers.

Use one or the other.  Personally, I would uninstall IDSA and use the dell assistant, especially since you are worried about the Intel driver and do not like the notifications.
