I need to download the 5/21/2014 release date version of the HD4600 IRIS driver (64-bit) for Windows 8.1, but am unable to find this driver version through the Intel driver support website.
Is there any FTP site where I can access legacy or depreciated versions of Intel's display drivers? This depreciated version is required because my Lenovo OEM laptop has known issue where the laptop won't properly come out of hibernation when using the current version of the HD Graphics 4600 driver, under Windows 8.1 64-bit. However, installing the 5/21/2014 version DOES work, so I need to install the depreciated version.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi onetech-IT,
Let me help you with this.
Checking the website there is no driver posted with that date so we may get the version you want but I will need to know the version of the driver you are looking for.
Do you happen to have the driver version?

Kevin,
I don't have the driver version available, only the release date of the driver. You can see the issue that I'm referring to at the following URL (it apparently is a known Intel driver issue):

By any chance do you remember how many driver updates have you installed since that version?
I would also like you to post your driver issue at this link:

Kevin,
The only driver updates applied were the ones that Windows 8.1. automatically applies directly via Windows Update, and whatever drivers Lenovo claims to be 'certified' via their System Update software installation utility.
I still need to get at that driver date 5/21/2014, as stated in the link I sent you, as that appears to be the only working version that remedies this issue currently.

We have developed many drivers on different dates so it is really difficult to know the driver version you are referring to but I will the best.
I will be back as soon as possible with more updates.

Kevin,
Have you also reached out to your OEM partner contacts at Lenovo, to have them confirm the issue, because I believe part of the problem lies within a development bug between their on-screen display utilities and the latest "validated" Intel video driver for their ThinkPad W540 series laptops.

Hello onetech-IT,
Sorry for the delay. At this point I regret to say that this driver is not available for download but perhaps you can get it from a third party website.
Try this one:

Kevin,
Just FYI, downloading that older driver and reinstalling it onto the W540 machine, just as described by the user in that Lenovo support forum post, absolutely fixes the issue.
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/W540-won-t-wake-up/td-p/1709441 https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/W-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/W540-won-t-wake-up/td-p/1709441
So this is DEFINITELY a bug in the Intel video driver and the chipset being used with Lenovo's ThinkPad W540 workstation style laptops, running Windows 8.1 Professional.
Someone at Intel needs to give this issue to QA, because this is absolutely a reproduceable bug.

Please note our drivers are generic for OEM system so installing it on branded computer may cause lost of special configurations made by the Computer Manufacture. My best recommendations Is to install the driver provided by the Computer Manufacture.
I do appreciate the feedback on this and It will be passed to the corresponding department.

Kevin,
Has this bug been reported to Lenovo yet? It is absolutely still an issue, and a very reproduceable bug. Any Lenovo customers with W540 laptops with the Intel GPU in them will absolutely encounter this issue and it needs to be fixed.
