why Acer not updating intel vga driver (24.20.100.6286)  E5 575/575G driver/software on download site. windows update keep updating to 24.20.100.6286. i refuse to install graphics drivers from windows update. so i use intel vga driver from model E5 576G. curious about windows update.. so i go to microsoft update catalog site. paste my pci\ven on search. & found manufacturer from QUANTA.. i know what quanta is & my notebook actually from quanta. is acer lazy updating drivers for old notebook model. just 4 years. not that old.

Thread was edited to add model name to the title

    Intel drivers until very recently (and still are) very finiky and need tweaking for every laptop, cause of this some vendors stop doing it quicker than others. You could try the DCH drviers at version 28 but i would exepct thigns to break!

    The XE drivers were meant to fix it, but even then the DCH drivers are causing bluescreens all over the place 🤷‍♀️

    >>>windows update keep updating to 24.20.100.6286. >>>

    Yes, this is Microsoft's new way of doing things in Win10. Sometimes it improves performance. Sometimes degrades performance. If the older ACER driver has no issues, then continue to use it. Jack E/NJ
