    Hi Activation -

    Can I see a link to the Asus downloads page for your exact model?

    It should have only one download for the latest display driver to download. Once you download and (if necessary) extract it it should have an .exe installer file to run to do the actual driver install.

    If necessary first remove the old driver using DDU https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/ddu-guide-t... (not necessary with Microsoft Basic driver which is a placeholder if nothing else is available) and/or installing in Safe Mode with Networking (so you have internet), or Safe Mode, accessed by one of these methods: https://www.digitalcitizen.life/4-ways-boot-saf...

    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...

    Feel free to ask back any questions. If you'll post back detailed results then I may know what to suggest next, if necessary.

    Hi,

    i downloaded the drivers from Intel HD Graphics Download Website,

    also, the Intel Driver Update app doesnt work at all for me, it just says Im up-to-date but my drivers is in version 9.17!

    i downloaded the .inf file, but I dont see the Intel HD Graphics driver (for my laptop) i just see random drivers like Intel HD 4000, Intel UHD ...

    so, what do u think i should do? the Asus website doesnt have my graphics drivers...

    my laptop model: X202E

    by the way, the .exe doesnt work, it says ERROR as if my system doent support that driver.

    Go into Settings > Windows Update to Check for Updates, install all updates that are found, including and especially ones in Advanced Options > Additional Options > Optional Updates.

    The last Intel display driver posted by the manufacturer is for Windows 8.1 from 2013. Did you run PC Health Check before upgrading? If not I'd run it now: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows... and report back what it says.

    Intel website drivers do not always work for a laptop which often has key drivers modified by the manufacturer. You can try them using the manual downloads from Intel here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/downloa...

    The last Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver posted for Windows 11 on the Lenovo site (not for this model) is here so you can try it:

    https://support.lenovo.com/cy/en/downloads/ds50...

    The last Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver posted for Windows 10 on Lenovo site, also not for your model, but worth trying for several reasons is here:

    https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds10...

    These are long shots but sometimes they do work. It depends upon how much and how they have been modified if at all. I have even seen other brand PC drivers for adapters work in rare cases.

    If nothing works then what's smartest is to go back to the last edition of Windows that can run it and stay there until you buy a new PC. To let you know how doable this is (if you're not shopping), I just got a Core i5 12th Generation 8gb RAM 256gb SSD Dell touch laptop on Black Friday for under $400 with taxes.

    Wow. I was looking at the specs for Lenovo X202E here, are they not it?

    https://www.cnet.com/reviews/asus-vivobook-x202...

    It may have different specs in your region. Try running Speccy to see if it reveals the exact GPU model:

    https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy

    Sometimes for hard to find drivers I'll install DriverMax for it's two free drivers a day. It's the most reliable driver finder which searches by the hardware ID in it's huge driver database. Set a System Restore point first. You don't need to buy it, uninstall it when you're done: https://www.drivermax.com/
