We recommend against fiddling with your Intel drivers in this situation.

If your laptop has a dual GPU setup with both Intel integrated graphics as well as a dedicated NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, updating the Intel driver could potentially cause problems. Warning: There is one case where we’d be more cautious doing this. Computer manufacturers can’t customize this Intel graphics hardware, so Intel’s own drivers should be fine. However, we don’t see any reason why the standard Intel drivers shouldn’t work on PCs with just Intel graphics. They can only allow drivers they’ve tested to run on your PC. Manufacturers enable this setting because they’re cautious. These newer versions may only be available from Intel directly.

Manufacturers often don’t keep these graphics drivers updated, and you may need a newer version of the graphics driver to fix bugs or achieve faster performance in some games. Unfortunately, there are some big problems with this.
