Acer Aspire v5-573g intel gpu driver update

Hi, just wondering if it would be possible for acer to update the drivers for Acer Aspire v5 series? On my aspire v5-573g site the "latest" driver dates back to 2015. Since then Notre Dame burned down, Australia burned down, Bierbrza National Park burned down so I wouldn't want my laptop to follow the trend due to old drivers vs new Windows/games lmao. Is that even still possible? Does Acer still support v5?

Alternatively can someone with Aspire v5-573g or similar model confirm that the regular Intel drivers work just fine? Or recommend any newer driver version that's not validated but is still okay to use?

newest driver. I had one from 2017 and at first couldn't install this one (error driver not suitable) After removing Intel driver (thus on MS standard driver) install went through. Windows update wants to put the 2015 one back though. If it does, you can roll back.

Open device manager→expand display adapters→right click on your intel driver→select update→automatically installed updated ....

It will update your driver if available

It says I already have the best driver available. It's 10.18.15.4248 from 2015, the same as on the acer site. I'm especially interested in newer drivers because Intel fixed some OpenGL issues in 2018 I think.

Intel Driver and Support Assistant finds 1 new thing to update (probably either new nvidia drivers or something related to Rapid Storage as usual). Unfortunately "Scanning your system ..." is currently broken atm and it says "Sorry, something went wrong while trying to scan" after a while. Reinstalled Assistant several times with and without the uninstall utility provided by Intel but the site is still broken.

Uninstall this intel support assistant.
Open device manager then right click on intel gpu driver then uninstall it, after uninstalling
Click on action→scan for hardware changes
Again right click on intel gpu driver then select update this driver.

If driver update then ok if not then you need to use acer driver only.

Unfortunately it still downloads the same driver

Installed the newest generic driver after the last windows 10 update made my apps either turn black for several seconds or throw DGXI device removed constantly. So far so fine, it seems to be working better than with original drivers.
