Driver Updating Help Needed

I haven't been able to update my graphics driver for the past few months. Now it's starting to crash a lot and I still can't update it even using the Intel Driver Update Utility. Every time I try to update I get this error "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software." What do I do to fix this?

I've attached an image of the message and my system if that helps.

Hi Shonicss4,

 

 

The pc manufacturers customize our drivers according to their settings; our generic drivers usually don't work.

 

 

I suggest you the following options:

 

Install the latest graphics drivers from Hewlett Packard website:

 

http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

 

 

The second option, try to install the latest generic driver from Intel's website version 4424

 

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25951/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-15-40-4th-Gen-?product=81497 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25951/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-15-40-4th-Gen-?product=81497

 

 

Install it using the manual option.

 

 

1-Download the zip file of the driver from downloadcenter, unzip and keep file in the desktop.

 

2-Turn Internet connection off

 

3-Go to device manager>Display Adapter, right click Intel HD graphics and select uninstall driver (check delete box)

 

4-Restart the computer

 

5-Go to device manager>Display Adapter, right click over Microsoft generic driver select Update driver, browse search for graphics folder at desktop (step 1)

 

6-Restart system and review graphics driver version installed from device manager or Graphics control Panel.

 

 

Regards,
