Intel HD Graphics Driver via Windows Update

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.

    NOW Linney,

    You have finally given EVERYONE, especially those with Intel HD Graphics 3000 driver, SOMETHING VERY USEFUL!

    Thank You very much,

    As I stated above earlier: "I believe WU is screwing up for some of us???".

    What I couldn't figure out was what the Driver was for, 3000 or other model, or which OS W 8.1 or W 10 as well as the version number. I just wasn't getting enough info. Now we know why this error is being thrown:

    0x800F0244 SPAPI_E_Signature_Osattribure_Mismatch The software was tested for compliance on a different version of Windows and may not be compatible with this version.

    Thanks again, Linny,

    Crysta

    I suggest you run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostics Tool in normal mode and copy and paste the results in a reply for further analysis:

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012

    Run the Tool and when it completes click the Copy button, open a text file like Word or Notepad and select Edit, Paste. You can paste directly into a reply here. Open a reply, right click and select Paste.

    What version of the Intel HD Graphics 3000 driver is it downloading?

    Please restart your computer, allow 30 minutes for the system to run before uploading further information so that the impact of making changes can become apparent.

    Please provide a copy of your System Information file. To access your System Information file select the keyboard shortcut Win+R, type msinfo32 and press the ENTER key. Select File, Export and give the file a name noting where it is located. Do not place the cursor within the body of the report before exporting the file. The system creates a new System Information file each time system information is accessed. You need to allow a minute or two for the file to be fully populated before exporting a copy. Please upload the file to your OneDrive, share with everyone and post a link here. Reports in normal mode preferred. Please say if the report has been obtained in safe mode.

    Please upload and share with everyone fresh copies of your System and Application logs (two files) from your Event Viewer to your One Drive and post a link here. You can remove the earlier copies of the logs from your OneDrive.

    To access the System log select the keyboard shortcut Win+R, type eventvwr.msc and press the ENTER key. From the list in the left side of the window select Windows Logs and System. Place the cursor on System, select Action from the Menu and Save All Events as (the default evtx file type) and give the file a name. Do the same for the Applications log. Do not provide filtered files. Do not place the cursor in the list of reports before selecting Action from the menu. Do not clear logs whilst you have a continuing problem.
