Intel HD Graphics 3000/2000 (Sandy bridge) Windows 10 Graphics Driver support?

Hi nkef

The table you reference does not include Windows 10 because it is not yet a released product. One Windows 10 launches the table will be updated to include it.

Drivers for Intel HD 3000 will be in-box divers that will be included in the Windows 10 distribution media.

Intel HD 3000 supports only WDDM 1.2 features. It is not capable of supporting WDDM 2.0.

Thanks

Robert

We need updates now !

Laptops with Nvidia Optimus (GeForce graphic card + Intel HD Graphics) running Windows 10 have now two different versions of WDDM drivers, so now we can't use Nvidia card because of this difference and Intel HD graphic card is first loaded and can't be disable (or I don't know how to do this, disable driver doesn't work).

Can we get some informations or updates about a new driver really compatible with Windows 10 ?

The graphics controller Intel® HD Graphics 3000 does not support Windows 10, this information is available at: Graphics Drivers — Supported Operating Systems.

So all you need to do is write updated drivers, Intel. This hardware should be supported in Windows 10.

So why Asus ask me to update my laptop if they know that some hardwares will not be compatible ?

Sandy Bridge aka Intel HD Graphics 3000 works and drivers are available on Windows Update : Intel® Download Center

The only problem is that this driver use WDDM 1.2 and not 2.0 like the second NVIDIA graphic card driver, this difference make this two drivers incompatible.

@allan_intel I already know about this link but this page has been updated the 06-Jan-2015, in other words 6 months before the launch of Windows 10 final version, and why there is beta drivers if they don't support it ???

Hi,

On my Dell Precision M6700 with Windows 10.  Intel GPU driver is WDDM 1.3 and NVIDIA driver is WDDM 2.0.  Optimus works fine despite this difference.  Don't worry about it.

You have a 4th generation Intel® Core™ Processors mine is a 2nd generation... You are not concerned by this !

I found a temporary solution, it seems that HDMI output is not affected by the bug because it only use the NVIDIA card, so I switch my primary screen to the HDMI one perhaps it works with DVI output but I can't test it at this time.

Hello allan_intel,

I've been reading several sources/claiming that Intel has cut support, and your post totally confirms it.

My question to you is: Why create a BETA driver for Windows 10 and then officially not support it anymore?

My computer is running Windows 10, and is currently running Intel(R) HD 3000 Graphics. I am not pleased at all with this announcement. The reason for which I am in this topic is because an Intel rep linked me here via social media and told me to stay updated.

By "please stay updated" I am guessing this means that something might be done? I've been a loyal customer to Intel products, but I am not pleased at the moment with the way the situation with said graphics is being handled.

There's many complaining about this, so please, make your customers happy and provide official support. Games are totally unplayable on current BETA drivers that you left us with.. and that's not right.

Best,

Official documentation was provided on the URL I posted previously: Graphics Drivers — Supported Operating Systems

I do not have different information about the support for Intel® HD Graphics 3000 and Windows 10.

Hey i work in a computer shop and I've now had 2 laptops with HD3000 graphics come in with black screens at startup. If you hook up an external display it will work and you can operate the PC normally but it will not display on the main laptop screen. The only way I've found to fix this is to either disable the HD3000 graphics in device manager which is undesirable because you can't display in proper resolution for the panel. Or to wait for the PC to startup and login then put the laptop to sleep and wake it up, after that the internal display works until you reboot again. I'm using the prepackaged driver that came with windows 10 i don't have the version number on my right now but i'm sure it was the latest one available for this chip. This is a pretty glaring bug and i know officially there is no support according to the link you provided but can you tell me whether or not intel will be fixing this? Or at the very least acknowledge it?

Same problem here with my laptop and the internal display/sleep trick. We need a fix intel.
