My games are beginning to lag, and my older games might or might not play ....so I went to download INTEL and it said that my computer does not meet minimum requirements for the drivers to improve performance.  Can I use NVIDIA instead, or what can I do about this problem?

    Thank you, Greg

    I am cautiously optimistic as to my results since downloading the Intel Graphic Command Center, which seemed to mysteriously NOT be on my computer.  things seemed to have sped up since then.  here is the link to that fix, which everyone should know about.   https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29231/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10-64-bit-for-NUC8i7HNK-NUC8i7HVK

    hi PW. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator. If you will work with me I will be here to help until the issue is resolved.

    Update the Display driver from the PC or Display adapter maker's Support Downloads web page for your exact model number, HP Serial Number or Dell Service Tag - from the sticker on the PC.

    While there check also for newer chipset, BIOS/UEFI firmware (very important), network, sound, USB3 and other drivers, comparing to the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu.

    If this doesn't give you the latest or ideal driver for what you need, compare it to the driver offered by the Intel driver update Utility here: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/...

    or the Nvidia Update utility here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=e...

    or the AMD autodect utility here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/P...

    If that doesn't provide the driver you need, manually install it from the Intel Downloads page here:

    http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/...

    For Display issues one fix that is working is to Roll back or Uninstall the Driver on the Display Device > Driver tab, restart PC to reinstall driver.

    You can also try older drivers in Device Manager > Display device > Driver tab > Update Driver > Browse > Let Me Pick.

    Then you will know you've tried everything in addition to Windows Update drivers.

    Adjust the screen resolution until it fits and looks best at Settings > System > Display.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted. If you will wait to choose if I resolved your problem, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

    I had to look up NUC, since I did not know what that meant.  If you follow that link I gave you it takes you to where I went.  Then I took a chance on that download.  I did not download another driver, or the tool, since I had already tried that, and the the tool could not 'find' my machine.  It could not find it because it was aftermarket, meaning that I bought it off someone who refurbishes computers, as many here do.  I had Windows Ten on it but likely some of the necessary items were not available or needed at the time, several years ago. 

    I believe that this fix by Intel is in response to the fact that some of microsoft's windows ten average drivers are not accommodating the recent influx of virus related need for communication via zoom, skype, and other video sources.   It is happening too fast for video drivers to be updated in time.  So they patched it up for you.  My system is working more smoothly now.  my games work, but more importantly, my conferencing ability works.  All is well. 

    Thank you.

    Did you find this by running the Intel driver Update utility I recommended above?

    I see it's for a NUC. Do you have a NUC? You hadn't mentioned that. It may be important for that build, but not as much for others. Perhaps it's getting the latest display driver in place that is what mattered.

    Let me know how that works out. I am still here to help you.
