DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) has already removed all existing GPU drivers in Safe Mode before these steps run. This ensures a completely clean driver installation.

Download the driver
Chrome opens to Intel’s driver search page, pre-filtered for Windows 11 graphics drivers sorted by most recent. Start-Process "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" ` "https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/search.html#sortCriteria=%40lastmodifieddt%20descending&f-operatingsystem_en=Windows%2011%20Family*&f-downloadtype=Drivers&cf-tabfilter=Downloads&cf-downloadsppth=Graphics"
Download the latest Intel Graphics driver package (.exe or .zip).
Select the downloaded file
A Windows file picker opens automatically. Select the Intel driver installer you just downloaded. Add-Type - AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms $Dialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog $Dialog .Filter = "All Files (*.*)|*.*" $Dialog .ShowDialog () | Out-Null $InstallFile = $Dialog .FileName
Extract
The driver package is extracted with 7-Zip to C:\inteldriver. & "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x " $InstallFile " - o "C:\inteldriver" - y
Install
The driver is installed silently. Intel Graphics Software (the control panel) is also installed from a bundled installer found in the extracted package. # Install the Intel graphics driver Start-Process "cmd.exe" - ArgumentList "/c `" C:\inteldriver\Installer.exe `" -f --noExtras --terminateProcesses -s" - WindowStyle Hidden - Wait

Post-install cleanup

Apply graphics settings
A 3DKeys registry key is created under each GPU adapter’s device class entry. Graphics settings are then written into that key. # Create 3DKeys key for each GPU adapter $basePath = "HKLM:\System\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}" $adapterKeys = Get-ChildItem - Path $basePath foreach ( $key in $adapterKeys ) { if ( $key .PSChildName -match '^\d{4}$' ) { reg add " $( $key .Name ) \3DKeys" / f } }
