I tried asking this the other day but can’t find it. I put it under ask Woody Central, at least I thought I did, but I must have failed because I don’t see it.
I have been checking for updates with the wushowhide tool. Every day the same update appears and I hide it.
It is Intel Corporation Display 11/10/16 12:00 AM 20.19.15.4549.
Why is this happening and why can’t I really hide it?
Thank you!
I also received an older driver for Intel Display Drivers which from Intel’s perspective were supposed to be discontinued and not supported for Windows 10. Probably because Microsoft insisted that those drivers have to be supported for the free Windows 10 upgrade offer, Intel made a concession and released a “last” driver ever for that hardware – Sandy Bridge graphics, 2000/3000.
Currently there is an extra driver apparently never supported by Intel for 2000/3000 but for 4000 which is offered by Microsoft for 3000. It is likely that the older versions 2000/3000 are included in this driver, while the newer one, i.e. 4000 got an update.
This driver is posted with the date 3/9/2017, but it has a manufacturing date of 5/19/2016.
Why is it pushed now?
This is either repository cleanup which went bad (maybe due to dependencies) or a push for the Creators Edition.

I think I understand what the anonymous poster implies.
It is about the fact that the Sandy Bridge 2000/3000 graphics does not have full support for Windows 10.
The drivers which we use and have been released by Intel are in fact for Windows 8.1.
There is obscure functionality beyond the basics which is not supported and is not working on Windows 10.
I sent an email to Intel Media Relations regarding a Sandy Bridge driver for W-10 and received this official answer: “Intel did not release this driver. Intel issued a small update to the existing driver for Win7/8/8.1, but did not issue a driver for Windows 10.”
Therefore, Microsoft copied a driver, probably the one for 8.1, made minimum edits, and released it for W-10. And I assure you that some at Intel are quite annoyed with Microsoft’s antics, but because they are both in business together, Intel will not make much of it.
I will say this about that,
When it comes to PR and Legal Departments of any corporation. I am always extremely SKEPTICAL AND ANY OF THEIR OFFICIAL…. 😥
For Microsoft to put “Intel” officially on a Driver certificate that INTEL wasn’t officially involved in and APPROVING is a sueable OFFENCE. On top of that Intel and any other company would WIN THAT SUITE. It does not matter whose software engineers do the work legally, it matters who authorizes and approves of the outcome. Intel HAD to be involved!
It also doesn’t matter what PR knows neither BUT it does matter what the Chief Legal Officers and the Executive Branches of both companies KNOW! I believe you have been obfuscated, by the inner workings of Intel. If it was all Microsoft doing the drivers, Microsoft’s name would be on the Drivers like they always are for the ONES they do.
I am now out of this discussion, y’all can carry on without me…..

Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge are the “nicknames” for Intel processors made in certain time frames. Do you have an Intel processor classified as Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge in your HP Pavilion?
What Intel graphics card do you have in your HP Pavilion?
Drivers are/may be different for different versions of Windows, i.e. Win10, Win8.1, Win7.
Two of the ongoing questions seem to be:
Was this Intel graphics driver was made for Win8.1 and modified by Microsoft (not Intel) for Win10?
Does this graphics driver support the Intel Sandy Bridge processors?
There are a couple of other discussions about this that may help you understand the discussion.

Could someone please directly connect the dots of one to the other, without any implications (state it clearly) if they can be connected? Would someone answer my questions?
Thank you
The reason why you have not gotten a direct answer on HIDING a driver is because it is very difficult to know. Welcome to the NEW Microsoft. It maybe because the version of W 10 that you are running REALLY needs that driver to keep working properly. It maybe that the Version of W 10 that you maybe encountering REALLY needs the Driver. Drivers OFTEN cause BSoD if they are not up to date.
You may have thought you question was simple BUT it is not. You need to give us more information about your system and OS for us to help you(cherry picking what you tell doesn’t help you). Even then for your question it may still be unanswerable to your satisfaction…..
I have not experienced any MU/WU updates or Drivers being unhidden, the way I do things. I don’t do it the way you do(there shouldn’t be a difference, but may there is).
Do you have any experience with Powershell? Are you will to learn a bit? There are Post on this site, to help get a novice started, I am a novice in PS myself.
I use “Hide-WUUpdate” cmdlet from a Module “PSWindowsUpdate” in “Powershell ISE”. I would try that process. It may seem a bit daunting at first but rewarding. Once done you will have that knowledge always….

Let me see if I understand this, in layman’s terms.
In the past few days, this driver was released, or re-released for Win7 and 8.1:
Intel display 11/10/16 12:00 AM – 20.19.15.4549 (http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=20.19.15.4549)
Both that driver and this driver were released, or re-released for Win10:
Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 (http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=9.17.10.4459)
According to an anonymous poster in this topic, Intel says that the drivers aren’t theirs: “Intel did not release this driver. Intel issued a small update to the existing driver for Win7/8/8.1, but did not issue a driver for Windows 10.”
The drivers appear to be related to older Intel processors (so-called “Sandy Bridge” and “Ivy Bridge” CPUs).
It’s not clear to me why the drivers are necessary, and why Microsoft released their own versions of the drivers without marking them as Microsoft drivers.
Did I get the background straight? If so, does anybody know why?
Given all the problems we’ve had with Intel drivers lately, I’m sure a lot of people would like to know what’s going into their computers. The reply from Pavan_N on the Answers forum
is distinctly condescending and unhelpful.
The Intel Corporation driver update I received on only one of my three computers with WIN 10 Pro Build 1607 is the Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 one.
The Processor info is:
2.50 gigahertz Intel Core i5-2450M
64 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
3072 kilobyte tertiary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (2 total)
Hyper-threaded (4 total)
The Display is:
Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 [Display adapter]
Generic PnP Monitor (17.1″vis)
Neither Belarc Advisor nor Settings> System> About> shows anything about “Sandy Bridge” or “Ivy Bridge” that I can find. As mentioned earlier, I simply hid it. AFAIK this is the only time I’ve received this update.
(UPDATE: Did a search, duh … and my processor is Codenamed: “Sandy Bridge”.)
As for the Windows Answers Forum, I’ve never had a question answered over there. I don’t even think the Microsoft Engineers/MVPs/Moderators are real people, just computers that scan questions for keywords and spew out “canned” answers, usually having little-or-nothing to do with the questions. No real person could possibly be as stupid as the so-called Microsoft Engineers/MVPs/Moderators are over there.
According to an anonymous poster in this topic, Intel says that the drivers aren’t theirs: “Intel did not release this driver. Intel issued a small update to the existing driver for Win7/8/8.1, but did not issue a driver for Windows 10.”
I had this discussion with someone nick-named PC Cobbler on the old site and that person had a very strong opinion about this subject and how bad Intel was for not releasing updated drivers to support Windows 10 in full. The post may come from the same person and is totally legit, although I don’t find my use of the Intel Graphics 3000 on Windows 10 impacted in any significant way and even if it was, this was expected behaviour because Dell does not support the use of my laptop on Windows 10. So it is between me and Microsoft to make it working with the drivers previously released for other OS.
Intel Corporation driver update for Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 (http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=9.17.10.4459)
Only this driver is for Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge, while the other driver is for other Intel hardware.
My personal point of view is that this newer driver (which I did not install on Sandy Bridge, but I may have to do so in the next few weeks for 1703 support) is only for Ivy Bridge which may have full support from Intel for Windows 10.
Sandy Bridge is the previous generation of CPU and according to Intel this driver 9.17.10.4459 is not for it.
However it is very usual to find with Intel driver packages that there are multiple drivers bundled in the package with support for the old versions as well. It is not the same driver though, there are multiple drivers bundled in one package and this is important for understanding.
P.S.
Woody, I only now read the post on Answers which comes from PC-Cobbler and the details provided.
We seem to have reached the same conclusions independently, which means that we are likely on the same page.
I don’t agree though that the drivers are not provided by Intel but Microsoft. Microsoft may have modified metadata to make it native to Windows 10, but the driver code itself is certainly from Intel.

PS Glad you caught the battery issue already 🙂
Hi Woody,
I am the original poster.
Your first link takes us to updates in the catalog that do not end in the same numbers. It takes us to updates that end in 4459. I think there has been some transposing of the numbers I originally posted.
I posted the following:”Intel Corporation – Display- 11/10/16 12:00:00 AM – 20.19.15.4549.
I haven’t found any connection to Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge on the computer I listed in my last and previous posts. But I can not be certain of that other than my searches show nothing with those two drivers and the Sandy Bridge numbers I believe I saw were driver numbers less than 5500 in the title Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500. But then I don’t understand these things all that well.
Hello, annonymous with HP Pavilion (notebook) model 14-ab166us. The references to Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge are processors that have known issues with driver updates. I went to HP and entered your given information, and it shows that your notebook has a 2.2gHz 5th generation Intel Core i3-5020U Dual Core processor. Intel says that was part of the Broadwell family of processors. You could double check that information. Broadwell processors are not Sandy or Ivy Bridge, which would be why you don’t come up with them when you search about it. I don’t know if that will make a difference to the more technically oriented…
What is clear is that Microsoft is doing things differently and not documenting them well. That leaves everyone having difficulty, and there may not be an answer to your original questions of
“Every day the same update appears and I hide it.It is Intel Corporation Display 11/10/16 12:00 AM 20.19.15.4549.
Why is this happening and why can’t I really hide it?”
Maybe this will help?

Dear Elly,
Thank you very much for your help.
You are exactly right about the processors.
Thus, all the Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge discussion is relevant to many, but not to my question about the driver I listed in my original post. You clarified that for me.
Clearly am not the only person with driver questions, but no one who has posted seems to have run into this one.
Because the update said “display” in it, I did not know I had to look into the processor type. Thank you for gently letting me know.
The online product specifications for your notebook confirm your Intel 5500 is “standard issue”, as @Elly mentioned.
On checking that linked page, a warning comes up about an HP Battery Recall. It might pay to check that out, if you haven’t alerady 🙂
Sorry for hijacking your post.
It just happened that Intel re-released 2 different driver packages for Intel Graphics about the same time.
I posted my own thread about Sandy Bridge, but yours got more traction because it was promoted by Woody and both drivers have been addressed by some people in your post which had more visibility.
Woody,
I am on my W 8.1 Pro Main partition now. I have seen very few Intel Drivers offered on W 8.1 and NOT THIS ONE neither. So as far as WU/MU is concerned as far as I know W 8.1 is off the table. However, that does not mean if I update a W 8.1 Pro partition from my W 10.0 Pro Driver Backups it won’t update. I always check, if it is truly W 10 ONLY it won’t Update, I just haven’t gotten that far yet….

This is all that is there presently. I have had the Ralink Driver for Linksys hardware “HIDDEN” for over 2 years because they Botched the DUAL Channel aspect. In W 10 a different company did the driver and it works great. Unfortunately it is W 10 ONLY! I don’t want Skype, so that has been HIDDEN for well over a year! The Update that isn’t Hidden has not been tested on my W 8.1 Test partition yet, its fine, it can wait!
Next Point Woody,
Even though I know some have had this problem, I have not had a problematic Driver with Intel’s name on it unless I have been trying one of their “BETAs” on W 8.1. I have had problems with Microsoft labeled Drivers but that is not these ones. I have the Intel Graphics 3000 Driver for SandyBridge on one partition, W 10 Fast, with no problem so far. I will be putting it on a 2nd, shortly and my W 8.1 Test partition soon. I will let you know.
I do not have, nor do I expect to get, any definitive reason why the Drivers are necessary???? Being released as they are etc?????
If I were to guess, I would think it is a response to BSoD and other critical TELEMETRY that MS is receiving. They also my be an agreement with Intel, that Intel wants to continue to be involved in the update process and APPROVE the Drivers, even if they don’t want to OFFICIALLY to be seen to support W 10 OFFICIALLY with these Drivers. Ain’t Politics and the Law great????…..
Woody, that the best that I can do and keep the vitriol out of this…..

What KNOWN issues, Elly? I have SandyBridge, I have no issues with my CPU nor do I KNOW of any. It is an exceptional processor. In fact my Tower is running exceptionally well, at least right now.
You have me quite confused????
….. Intel says that was part of the Broadwell family of processors. You could double check that information. Broadwell processors are not Sandy or Ivy Bridge, …..
Intel Processors:
Gen 2 is SandyBridge ic 2xxxx (n)
Gen 3 is IvyBridge ic 3xxxx (n)
Gen 4 is Haswell ic 4xxxx (n)
Gen 5 is Broadwell ic 5xxxx (n)
Gen 6 is Skylake ic 6xxxx (n)
Gen 7 is Kabylake ic 7xxxx (n)
Gen 8 is the next one which I have not heard anything about.
There is also designations of ic: like i3, i5, i7 which define various things like cores, speed, threads etc.
Not quite sure where you were really going Elly, but I hope the list helps.
As far as problem CPUs in Intel, Skylake has had it’s problems which Microsoft fixed with software. Kabylake has come out very fast to fix the Skylake issues and a couple of improvements around PCI lanes and Memory accesses including lanes for a specific type of memory. Clock speed is up a bit.
Other than power consumption(laptops often have heat issues), I know of no other problems with Intel CPUs Gen 6 and lower.

Sandy Bridge Second Generation is one of the most solid platforms which has been released by Intel. It gets slightly out of date now, but historically speaking, it was exceptional.
My mistake… I was just trying to help anonymous clarify for those of you who were techy, what he/she is running… and didn’t mean to confuse things further.
I’m real clear that I’m not techy, just learning… and could research this when anonymous was obviously getting frustrated.
You got where I was confused on things. Thank you, Crysta, for clarifying.

So now everything is adding up for why you were offered the Driver. Like you I was not offered this driver until yesterday on W 10 only. It is my opinion that it is because on W 10 1703 is coming soon. I do not know this for certain, however.

Crysta, thank you very much for the really helpful info. I finally did a search … duh … and verified that my processor is Sandy Bridge. As I mentioned in another comment to ch100, my old Dell Inspiron N7110 laptop is not supported by Dell to run WIN 10. However, I’m running WIN 10 Pro 1607 with no apparent problems of much consequence.
If you don’t mind, I’d like your opinion on whether this update, Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000, should be installed or not, and any known ramifications if it is installed, or if it is not installed.
Again, thank you very much.
P.S. I’m sure there are some great folks over on the Windows Answers Forum, but I swear, it seems every time I’ve tried to get answers for problems I’ve had through the years … well … “What we have here is a failure to communicate.” 🙂

Ch100, my old Dell Inspiron N7110 laptop is not supported by Dell for WIN 10 either. I’m running WIN 10 Pro Build 1607 on it, however, and am not currently seeing any serious problems. As mentioned in a previous comment, the processor and display specs are:

The Intel Corporation driver update I received is the Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 one, which I have hidden. If I’m understanding you correctly, you don’t recommend installing this driver update, but it’s not exactly clear to me … sorry! Would you please let me know for sure what your recommendation is, and if there are any known ramifications if it is installed or not installed?
Thank you very much.
I am not against installing this newer driver.
I just don’t know enough about it and I believe that it does not bring anything new compared to the Intel supported driver (for 8.1) found here
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/81500/Intel-HD-Graphics-3000
I actually said that I may have to install the newer driver to make my installation compatible with 1703 in few weeks when it will be released.
I will install early, but I don’t recommend anyone else to do the same until it reaches CBB in 3-4 months.
I’ll keep my hardware until it fails. I have an even older HP with first gen i7 (Nehalem equivalent) still running and with 1607. Once on Windows 10, you have to play the game and upgrade or else completely shut down the machine. I installed the new driver and posted the results in the new thread just started by Woody. All good so far.
Crysta, thank you very much for the really helpful info.

I, like CH100 am still testing. While you wait for an answer, which should come more in conjunction with Woody as well, get your Backup smarts and Backup software up to speed. Practice taking Image and Registry Backups. There are several post on this subject here as well. Do forget, your OS’s HDD/SSD is NOT where one stores Backups involving you OS Image.

Yes, there are some great and good people there. Thankfully, I have had a few good experiences there and learned quite allot.
“What we have here is a failure to communicate.”
Yes, I know, it is something that happens allot in this 2d world of the The Internet. It can be quite frustrating….. 😥

OK, as PhotM previously posted, these are the Intel Core CPU generations:
Intel Processors:
Gen 2 is SandyBridge ic 2xxxx (n)
Gen 3 is IvyBridge ic 3xxxx (n)
Gen 4 is Haswell ic 4xxxx (n)

Gen 7 is Kabylake ic 7xxxx (n)
I’m running the 3rd generation Ivy Bridge Core i3 CPU with the integrated Intel HD graphics 2500.
I originally installed the graphics driver for my motherboard from the Asus (OEM) website, but since this Intel CPU/mobo combo is several years old now, Asus is no longer issuing current driver updates for the hardware.
So I turned to the Intel site for the latest Intel HD graphics drivers. Here is the statement I found in the release notes (The driver is being provided as is with no Intel support for any graphics issues found. Intel advises upgrading to Intel approved Windows 10 products for the best user experience and support):
NOTE:
Microsoft Windows® 10 drivers for 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 4000 and 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 2500 will include support for Windows Display Driver Model(WDDM) 1.3. For reference, WDDM 1.3 features are available on Microsoft’s Web site. This driver will not be digitally signed for Windows® 10, which means that it will not have been certified by Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs(WHQL). Note that Windows® 10 may alert you with a message if a driver is not digitally signed, but you can continue the installation. The driver is being provided as is with no Intel support for any graphics issues found. Intel advises upgrading to Intel approved Windows 10 products for the best user experience and support.

There is another anonymous poster related to this topic (in this or another connected post), but he only received the driver update at the time of his posting on 1 of his 3 computers. I am probably the most non-technical person in this discussion, and only myself and the other anonymous poster have seen this particular update.
The original driver listed: Intel Corporation – Display- 11/10/16 12:00:00 AM – 20.19.15.4549
is available for my Win 10 version 1607 HP laptop, and as Elly pointed out to me, my computer has a Broadwell Processor.
Most of the posts under this topic are about totally different display drivers others are seeing and discussing that concern them, or computers with which they deal. Many are talking about an Ivy Bridge and a Sandy Bridge processor relating to the available display drivers they are seeing.
Woody created a link to the update catalog showing that this particular driver is for Windows 7/8/10:
“Intel display 11/10/16 12:00 AM – 20.19.15.4549 (http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=20.19.15.4549)”
From what I glean from the discussion of all the other driver updates is that you will not be seeing this particular driver update unless you have a particular processor that will require it. It appears likely that you may be offered another driver.
If I am incorrect, I am sure I will be corrected with my generalization(s).
It still appears that with all this discussion that 1. little is known about this particular driver, 2. Other driver updates are being offered and are in someway connected to the type of processor your computer has, 3. This discussion, for the most part, focuses on other processors and driver types, in particular Sandy Bridge which appears not really related to the specific topic of the post, but the general concept of mysterious drivers being offered.
Woody, with his great knowledge and patience is trying to understand why many drivers are being released as updates by MS with little documentation to explain why people are getting them and the purpose they will perform if downloaded at the appropriate time.
That is all I can conclude at this point, and I hope there are answers soon explaining all of this for the different drivers being offered to us. Based on all the knowledge among Woody and the contributors, I assume we will get an answer at some point. I hope soon.
I am not installing this driver (Intel Corporation – Display- 11/10/16 12:00:00 AM – 20.19.15.4549) until I know it is safe to install per this forum and Woody. I certainly am not going to install it just to see, even if I can roll it back, or use a system image to get back prior to installing it. My Windows 10 computer is working just fine at this point.
It looks like the v20.19.15.4549 drivers are for 4th gen Intel graphics hardware & newer. Driver won’t support nor work with anything older than this.
I’ve looked at the contents of the IGDLH64.INF file from the 93289883-7519-4a0f-945a-ef5dc6469a27_193ad5078563492c9071751a0dad14ddd0b1d710.cab file that I’ve obtained from MS Update Catalog and here are the hardware device IDs & Windows OSes supported:

I am the original poster. If what you write that is correct, (and there is no reason why it would not be) the processor my Windows 10 version 1607 for the HP Pavilion is 2.2gHz 5th generation Intel Core i3-5020U Dual Core processor, then this update must be for my “newer” processor. As far as I can tell, you don’t say why I am being offered it. But maybe you were not trying to explain why this update is there.
I apologize, as a non-technical person when it comes to computers, I cannot interpret what exactly you are saying when it comes to the update I am being offered. I especially don’t understand the following “Driver won’t support nor work with anything older than this”. Why would those of us offered it care if it won’t be useful for older generation processors? I think computers with older processors would not be offered it.
Is this what you are actually saying for those of us who read Woody’s site who are non-technical?
I cannot interpret anything you listed from the MS catalog. Does it explain why this update is needed for owners with a newer computer/processor?
I am sure others more technical understand what you listed. I am sorry, but it’s not clear to me.
