Genuine question about update philosophy. My PC is stable on an old studio branch. The new Intel Graphics Driver lists fixes that don't really affect me. Do u update anyway for security and compatibility, or do you only update when a game or app needs it? i mostly do competitive gaming. i am curious how other people handle this, especially anyone who depends on their PC for work and cannot afford a broken evening. im about to throw this thing out the window lol
anyone running the new intel graphics driver for competitive gaming? real-world reports please ugh
ok so the last bad experience was black screens after an update, fixed by going back to an old studio branch.
printer saw i was in a hurry and chose violence
oh ive been there lol keep a short log of what driver you're on and when you changed it (
pnputil /enum-driversshows installed packages and dates). when something breaks later, you'll know if teh timing matches. hope that helps :)hmmm my approach: make a restore point, download the previous driver package so it's ready, then try teh new one... if anything misbehaves, DDU and reinstall the old one... that makes updating a low-risk experiment. hope that helps :)
