Getting error 0x800F0244 during Windows Update when it wants to update my Intel HD Graphics Driver on my computer which runs an NVidia driver for my discreet GTX 750 card. I have updated the driver from a driver found on the Intel website, here However, WU still wants to install this driver after checking for updates. Error 0x800F0244 is listed on Microsoft Website as - SPAPI_E_SIGNATURE_OSATTRIBUTE_MISMATCH <br>- 0x800F0244 The software was tested for compliance with Windows Logo requirements on a different version of Windows, and may not be compatible with this version. I have already cleared the SoftwareDistribution folder at least twice, the update will not go away. I have since hidden it. BTW, I have a 3rd generation (Ivy Bridge) i5-3570K processor on this machine. I have 2 other machines with Intel processors (a Sandy Bridge Celeron with no discreet graphics, and a Haswell Refresh Pentium G3258 with a Radeon HD 7750 discreet card) all running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit, and I haven't seen this update yet for those. Edit: same update appeared for my Celeron machine as well. I hid that too.

A new weird update for everybody. I turned on my other laptop, the one that was having the driver problems, for the first time in several days and checked for updates. Now its showing everything is up to date and the driver update has disappeared. Anybody else have this? Yup, Your RIGHT!!! I have been in my W 10 partition the last couple of days and just came back to my main partition. As I expected, MS fix is to with draw the driver update. Well I am glad that is over as the consternation has picked up here. By the way, for the individual whom is talking about WSUS, most are not even going to know that terminology much less anything about the varied Windows Servers that MS has...... Crysta

Hmmm... let's have some common sense. If it's not there anymore it's probably a good bet that Microsoft fixed the WSUS database. Seriously, what is the point of posting to a thread if you're not going to be bothered to at least read the last page? Is it really that much to ask, or is it really a necessity for threads to fill up with the same thing over and over again because everyone and their mom refuses to do something as simple as read . Every MS thread I reply on to help someone, it's the same ridiculousness on every one.

It's not for a third gen as I have a third gen, nor is it for the 4th or 2nd gens. It would be extremely helpful if prior to posting people read the last page of the thread. AGAIN, THIS WAS HUMAN ERROR BY WHOMEVER HANDLES WSUS. If you want to fix the problem, HIDE THE UPDATE.

This driver seems to be for 3rd generation cpu mine is 2nd that is why it fails even from my OEM.
