    Intelsat driver update tool says I am using oem video drivers and upgrading to Intel drivers could cause conflicts. Anyone running the latest intel video driver and are there any benefits?

    I reverted back to non DCH drivers because DCH driver aka latest UWD driver doesn't uninstall cleanly eve after using DDU. They retain the gpu drivers as a ghost driver and refuse to uninstall. I had to uninstall the ghosted device for it to be thoroughly removed.
    I'm using 6373 driver version.
