Why should I use the Intel Graphics Command Center? The Intel Graphics Command Center has more features compared to the previous offering, combined with an intuitive user interface and a slim design. The Intel Graphics Command Center also makes it simpler for you to adjust your display and video settings. It also has improved Help that clearly explains what the settings actually do.
Can the new Intel Graphics Command Center co-exist with the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel? Yes, but you will be encouraged by the Intel Graphics Command Center to uninstall the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel unless you need a feature available only on Intel HD Graphics Control Panel.

What happens if I try to force install the Intel Graphics Command Center on an older system? (Is it possible?) You probably don’t need to force install. You should just be able to install it from the Windows Store*. We highly recommend that you use the latest Intel® graphics driver with the Intel Graphics Command Center. All features may not work with older Intel graphics drivers. Find the latest Intel graphics drivers.
What if I like the old Intel HD Graphics Control Panel layout instead? Can I change it back? Unfortunately, this is not currently possible. Intel would like you to provide feedback on any features that you would like to see changed or added to the Intel Graphics Command Center at the Intel Graphics Community Forum.
Does this new Intel Graphics Command Center gather information on me or my system? If so, what? The Intel Graphics Command Center does not collect personal information on a user or system. Data collection is limited to anonymous button-click counts only, to be used to improve user experience and learn where to add additional features.
Since this is an early access release right now, does Intel plan on adding more features and functionality to the Intel Graphics Command Center in the future? Absolutely! Please join the Intel Graphics Community to give us feedback on what you’d like to see incorporated in the future!
How can I install Intel® Graphics Command Center if I have Windows® 10 Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) and no access to the Microsoft Store? Refer to Intel® Graphics Command Center on Windows® 10 Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC).
