Intel® Graphics - Windows® 10 DCH Drivers v26.20.100.7372 (Latest) Date: 10/30/2019

Release Notes (pdf)

 

Quick question, I've been slacking on updating most of my drivers. What critical things would I be missing when I don't update my Intel drivers? I mostly update just the GPU drivers.

 

Not a thing.

 

Regarding Intel graphics drivers... Micro$haft screw up their OS several times a year... And yesterdays graphics drivers can't handle it. + they includes security enhancements as well. For me... Happy camper with no iGPU

Regarding IMEI...


-------------------------------------------

Intel Wireless Bluetooth Driver 21.50.0 for Windows 10 has been released

Fixed some issues that may have happened so far, but do not necessarily occur. Intel itself writes: The .. "The driver has been updated to include feature and security updates. Users should upgrade to the latest version. "

• In some systems, the Bluetooth device may have displayed a yellow exclamation point when it came out of hibernation in Device Manager.
• In some rare cases, it may happen that the Bluetooth device disappears from the Device Manager after a reboot.
• In some systems with high Wi-Fi usage and multiple Bluetooth devices, problems with audio playback through Bluetooth speakers could be observed.

 

I don't know why for years I keep thinking IMEI sounds like NSA wet dream and has potential to be super spying device, I'm probably getting paranoid LOL.

 

The only secure computer is...
The only truly secure computer is the disconnected one. I have made this claim for years, and I stand by it.

Can i use graphic driver in 7th gen?

Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk

 

Nothing much in fact unless you game solely on HD GFX from Intel!

Let me check my sis's laptop since I've auto enabled W10 updates and I hope BT drivers won't wreck it.

 

Why would you use near 4 years old Intel graphics drivers? You want prefer a screwed up system?

Intel Chipset Software v10.1.18228.8176

 

Really good stuff, the original Clevo package comes bloated full of services and all sorts of uselessness.

 

All OEMs do the same. And some is worse than others. Drivers just follow the software.

Oh man exactly, I just posted about this in the "Current Fads you hate" thread. It's not only visual diarrhea but cripples whatever horsepower you have in a laptop.

 

Intel® Graphics - Windows® 10 DCH Drivers Version: 26.20.100.7584 (Latest) Date: 12/18/2019

Release Notes (ReleaseNotes_100.7584.pdf)

Fixed issues:

• This driver also includes security improvements.
• With Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 * or when starting DOTA2 *, Intel Core 10th generation processors with Iris Plus graphics can cause a temporary crash.
• Minor graphical anomalies can occur in NextPVR, Code Vein, NBA 2K20, Solidworks 2018/2019 and Adobe Fresco applications.
• When starting or exiting ARCHICAD, you may experience intermittent crashes or get stuck.
• System restart with BSOD is observed on 10th generation Intel Core processors with Iris Plus graphics after the system was booted with the closed lid on the integrated laptop panel with a single display.
• When you connect an Apple * 6K monitor to 10th generation Intel Core processors with Iris Plus graphics, the maximum resolution is only 4K.

 

For now, the fixes are for 8th gen+. I see no improvements for skylake. I think changelog simply states "Security bugs fixed for almost all DCH drivers"

Intel to Reduce Gen7 Performance Hit With Final Version of Graphics Driver Security Fix tomshardware.com

Intel's initial focus was on fixing the bug, not on performance.

Intel on Tuesday announced a flaw in its graphics driver affecting GPU generations 3 to 10. When Phoronix benchmarked the patched driver, devices using Gen7 graphics saw a significant iGPU performance drop. But Intel said that the final version of the patch should eliminate most of that performance loss, the publication reported today.

Intel unlocks GPU drivers so that users may bypass OEM driver locks

 

Intel® Graphics - Windows® 10 DCH Drivers Version: 26.20.100.8141 (Latest) Date: 4/27/2020

Release Notes (ReleaseNotes_100.8141.pdf)

HIGHLIGHTS:
Unlocked drivers: We heard how much our users want the freedom to upgrade their systems to our regularly released generic graphics drivers and enable our latest game enhancements, feature updates, and fixes. As of this release, Intel Graphics DCH drivers are now unlocked to upgrade freely between Computer Manufacturer (OEM) drivers and the Intel generic graphics drivers on Download Center. Simply use the exe and enjoy the update on your 6th Generation Intel Processor platform or higher, and don’t worry about your OEM customizations--they remain intact with each upgrade and the OEMs can maintain customizations separately via Microsoft* Windows Update. Intel Drivers and Support Assistant drivers will also be unlocked starting April 28th, 2020. See the Release Notes section *4 for important information about this update.

And people had to wait several years to get this freedom What a Joke! This should have been done already when Intel started offer iGPU first time.

 

Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel® XTU) Version: 6.5.2.38 (Latest) Date: 4/30/2020


Intel XTU gets some much-needed updates for enthusiasts just in time for 10th gen Comet Lake-S

 

I don't think it matters for poorly designed BGA.
I updated to unlocked DCH Intel drivers and saw no difference!
I heard Dell is withdrawing DGFF standards for new Precision is it true?

 

From my post it looks like Dell will change the DGFF design... http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...-owners-lounge.826831/page-2092#post-11009665

 

Intel® Graphics - Windows® 10 DCH Drivers Version: 27.20.100.8187 (Latest) Date: 5/5/2020

Release Notes (ReleaseNotes_100.8187.pdf)

HIGHLIGHTS:
• Windows® 10 May 2020 Update Ready
• Intel® Graphics Installer Changes*2 *5 This driver is WDDM 2.7 compliant and ready for the Windows 10 May 2020 Update. It introduces support for Dolby Vision and the new DirectX* 12 Shader Model 6.5 compiler on 7th Generation Intel® Core processors or higher (Intel HD Graphics 610 or higher).

Note: Installing this Intel generic graphics driver will overwrite your Computer Manufacturer (OEM) customized driver. OEM drivers are handpicked and include customized features and solutions to platform-specific issues. The generic Intel driver provides users the latest and greatest feature enhancements and bug fixes that OEMs may not have customized yet to address platform-specific needs. Users can check for matching OEM versions at OEM websites.

Any graphics issues found using Intel generic graphics drivers should be reported directly to Intel. Corporate customers should always use OEM drivers and report all issues through the vendor they purchased the platforms and support through.

 

Ok i'll try it since it fixes issues I faced. Another reminder keeps hitting my face "Don't update to the latest driver "

Detailed Description

Release Notes (ReleaseNotes_100.8236.pdf)

 

Intel MEI Driver v2013.14.0.1529 (Windows 10) (INF file for manual installation without any additional software or system services).

 

I have not any trust in Train Station drivers

 

I would take cleaned out drivers by Win-raid any day over ODMs bloated old Intel driver packages.

 

Yup, just give me the driver inf and not an installer filled with services and bloat.

 

Just downgraded few Intel drivers IRST and others from latest 17.x to 15.9 for better performance.

To prevent vomiting...

Before - Icky White Puke-O-Rama	After - Beautiful Blackness
EEEEEK! Gag me with a spoon!!	When things are as they should be.

I find it difficult to believe anyone could actually like how horrible the white UI looks. Absolutely disgusting beyond words.

Meh... XTU Benchmark doesn't count for anything anyhow... kind of worthless.
