Why are you seeing it?
The error message can appear for multiple reasons:
- You have an external video card in your system. Some motherboards disable the integrated graphic chipset of the processor when an external video card is installed; check if the Intel® graphic chipset is visible in device manager.
- You have the wrong driver for your Intel® Graphics Controller. Identify your Intel® Graphics Controller first before manually downloading the driver for your graphics controller.
- The driver and the OS version don't match. Example: you can't install a 64-bit driver on a 32-bit Operation System.
- You don't have Intel® Graphics.
- The Intel® Driver & Support Assistant can't update the driver. Installing a generic Intel® Graphics Driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver can cause technical issues.
