Windows® 10 October 2018 Update may be blocked due to issues seen with Intel® Display Audio Driver versions 10.25.0.3 through 10.25.0.8 that may result in excessive processor demand and reduced battery life. A fix for these issues is already included in Intel® Display Audio Driver version 10.25.0.10, which is bundled with Intel® Graphics Driver version https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27988/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10 24.20.100.6286 and newer. Intel strongly recommends that all users with 6th Generation (codenamed Skylake) or newer processors confirm that Intel® Graphics Driver version 24.20.100.6286 or newer is installed on their computers before attempting to update to Windows® 10 October 2018 Update.

Note: Intel supplies generic versions of Graphics drivers for general purposes. However, most computer manufacturers incorporate customizations or make other changes to the Intel Graphics Driver software to optimize performance for their systems. We recommend that you check first with your computer manufacturer and use the driver software that they provide. Intel provides a list of links to the driver update pages of many computer manufacturers https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/topics/oems.html here.
