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.

    Same issue here, Asus W8.1 laptop with i3 2350M and Intel 3000 graphics and NVIDIA 610M.

    I'll wait for MS to fix the issue.

    Well intel & Nvidia use WHQL signatures,which means the drivers are signed by "Microsoft"...

    Best bet,open device mgr,open the display adapter,locate the display hardware,R.click properties,

    "update driver",windows will go on line for updates.You can/could also go to intel.com/support/downloads/

    locate the intel update utility,it scans any intel-based pc for updates

    The intel chipset installation utility dictates intel software & the OS activity,its the 1st update needed

    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
