Unsigned driver for Intel HD Graphics


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am trying to install the display driver for Intel Graphics on Ivy Bridge. It is a new version 15.33.53.5161 for Windows 10. But apparently also supports Win NT 6.1. This driver appears to be signed with a new certificate, and is not recognized. After installing a few possibly related SSL updates and running the certificate updater for Windows XP (I do not know of an updater for Windows 7), the certificate is recognized while installing. But not when the device driver needs to be started.

Is there a "legit" way of getting past this? Most sites link to this new driver.

Certificates keep coming up again and again as a waste of time.

What about the good ol' TESTSIGNING?

bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON

Reboot and install

then after the installation

bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING OFF

reboot again.

The driver is actually version 10.18.10.5161. It works on Win 7, but SHA-2, KB4490628 and KB4474419-v3 updates are required.

I only install updates that are known to be useful. There is a sheer volume of them, and I don't trust them. I heard there was one that slowed down the computer for Spectre and Meltdown, but I don't know which one is it.

Installing KB4490628 and KB4474419-v3 allowed the driver to load. The control panel extension (Gfxv2_0.exe) still crashes, but it is not immediately required. It is a NET Framework program. I could have looked for an older display driver, but I wanted to understand this problem in case it comes up again.

There is a Windows Root Certificate Authority from 2010 and signature from 2020.

I remember there was a protest about driver signing, and it died very quickly.

Makes my OS brighter, like it's highlighted by cheap blue leds. Reverting isn't possible, it's uninstallable. Also, the framerates in games drop.

It patches way too much files in the OS. And for what purpose, to install a driver?

I don't trust any those "new" on-the-bench-hacked Win10 drivers will bring more FPS to an old OS and/or 12-15 years old Vista/XP chipsets. 

Do you honestly believe Intel employees do real world testing on that e-waste?

P.S.

I even doubt they have something from over 3-4 years old at their testing lab.

NET Framework

New versions after 4.6.2, or even after 4.5, will slow down a dated PC to a crawl. Did you see the amount of files Net 4.7.2 installs?

P.S.

More importantly, serious software doesn't need it.  I wonder why nVidia doesn't need it, and Intel does, what for?
Just to show their primitive/simplistic and ugly UI?

I resist installing NET Framework, and only use at most version 2, which comes with NT6. More and more software is built in NET these days. In the past it  was mostly enthusiast programs like nLite, CueTools or gaming mods.

This is the driver that came up first in my search and is about the same size as another from 2013, so nothing is lost to bloat. I see that there is nothing of value in that control panel. I do not believe that driver upgrades are necessary and don't do them in general. Usually older drivers are smaller.

No need for such language. Many people on this forum seek answers about old computers and software. Look, there is an XP and Win98 section. I have two PCs on Intel 7 series and they work fine without bloated software.

I specifically wrote about Intel and their employees, for them it's e-waste. It seems you get a bit agitated when it comes to not fully read/understood posts. Again, my PC is way older than yours. I bought it in 2009.

For Intel, those two, yours and mine, are e-waste. They won't work and test drivers for our e-waste computers because they aren't paid to do so. Better?

Absolutely right! If you would ever need one, I can suggest 4.5 as the highest, not 4.5.1.

4.5 didn't show that much slowness on my 2009 PC.

Size isn't the best measurement, FPS and benchmarks are.  They could've just used another compression method when porting drivers originally written for Win10.

Do you understand, there were no drivers specifically written for Vista/7 in ages. All they could do for us, e-waste peasants, at best, at their bench, just hack 'em so they will somehow work on older OS.

Maybe it will be noticeable on very old and weak computers, but on my computers I didn't notice any changes. Of course on IntelHD there may be little sense to put a new driver, it's hard to call it a gaming graphics card, but for example on my nettop with Celeron N3150 processor old drivers cause blurring of fonts and interface in browsers, and the 2020 driver fixes it. And if you use the latest generations of Nvidia or AMD graphics cards, new drivers are necessary.

have you tried the BIOStar driver? it's digitally signed  works great on my 8th i9 chip

That's not for me. It is for Skylake and Kaby Lake.

What are the certificates in the Reg file with boxes as the filename? That looks a bit sus and should be clearly labelled..

Also 700 MB for a display driver. Lol.
