Intel Display adapters taking HUGE chunks of space in my driver store, on SSD

Intel is killing my SSD with all this space usage, My HDD is full because of this.

Now I'm wondering of some of these can be deleted as there's no way that all these drivers are needed. They all seem to be the same version however, so none can be flagged as obsolete. Anyone has any idea if some of them can be cleared?

Thank you for your response.

 

 

Go to the device manager (right click on the Windows logo> device manager) and use the option "update driver"> "browse my computer"> "let me pick from a list" let us know what options of the driver are you able to see?

 

 

We see that you are using the version .4749 can you provide us with the download link to that version?

Hello NaturalBornCamper

 

 

Thank you for your response.

 

 

You can try to uninstall the driver for your system and clean install the drivers provided by the manufacturer.

 

 

Please follow the steps below to uninstall the graphics driver:
  1. On the keyboard, press WinLogo key + R, then type in devmgmt.msc
  2. Expand the Display Adapters section.
  3. Find the Intel® Graphics Driver. The driver can also be called the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver (Intel® GMA Driver).
  4. Right-click the Intel Graphics Driver and select Uninstall.
  5. Select the checkbox "Delete" the driver software for this device.
  6. Reboot the computer after the uninstall process has finished.

 

After the reboot run please run the driver store explorer to review the outcome (if possible share that outcome with us).

 

 

Once the process is complete try installing the driver provided by the OEM. To avoid any automatic driver update please complete the steps without the internet connection.

 

 

Regards,

 

Leonardo C.

Hey there, thanks again for your answer.

I did as you instructed and all the drivers were still in the driver store when I rebooted with my wifi card disabled.

So I just got tired of this and went nuclear. I deleted all the drivers in the store, rebooted and reinstalled the driver from MSI's website. All is clean and working now, I was afraid something might break but it's all good.

Thanks for sticking with me.

Marco
