Anyone running Windows 10 on a laptop using Intel Graphics? After the 2-3rd boot it's all a black screen. I rebuilt the machine twice, I tried uninstalling the driver, but it just installs itself. Also if you do not use the Inel drivers and use the MS one.. it lags.

 

Anyone find a solution to this? I tried running the latest build as of 1/24.

What is the exact graphics card and the exact driver?

t440s, graphic card is intel 4400.

Driver is intel ver. 10.18.10.3960

 

Did some searching, looks like it's not supported. See other people having the issue, and they are just using the MS drivers. Not working for me though.

I have seen similar reports tbh.

 

Am curious on why the Intel drivers won't install. .. maybe OS string.

 

EDIT:

 

Try this driver please

Yes, it's likely that the Intel HD drivers aren't updated for changes to WDDM.

 

Using driver version 15.33.32.4061 here on my tablet.

 

For the time being I would reccomend dropping some of the visual effects (System > Advanced > Performance) e.g. Fade and translucency. I'm not getting so many issues now.

That's kind of a weird question. Isn't Intel on 99% of the laptops?

Oh right, you mean In graphics, not processor. Well still, majority do still have just the Intel Graphics.

And yeah, my other Ultrabook has Intel graphics and its what Ive been using for my Windows 10 test machine,

and I haven't experienced any problems at all on it.

Trying to install the new Windows 10 release on my new Ultrabook pretty much ######ed it, and it didn't even install at all.

Got that error about OS being compressed so it can't install. But it still managed to completely destroy my new computer.

Not too impressed about that. The rollback I guess messed it up, or that KB file needed for Windows Update to even give you Windows 10.

That's why I was surprised.. many laptops use intel graphics. I am going to wait until either a later build or until the final. I like 10 a lot so I am looking forward to it.

For whatever reasons the HD 4400 suffers the worst.

 

Indeed there is a driver backend change going on right now which generally caused Code 43 issues for devices.

 

MS took note and is looking into it from what I gathered.

 

 

The drivers do install, but later cause the screen to be black and only the mouse cursor visible when you restart. 

 

I have noted this behavior on a PXAI machine. Intel HD 3000 + ATI 6xxxm

 

Guess we should just wait for updates.

We have the same machine and I'm using it on mine just fine. I can send you drivers later if you still need it but I got them from Lenovo instead on Intel. I had issues with external LCD and the lenovo drivers worked better so I stuck with them.

I had a crazy issue just like that.  I loaded the build right before 9926 and after 5 minutes of loading the OS my screen would flicker, i would get a toast message saying the driver had a failure and the machine would lock up.  I flashed the image like 6 times, then finally I got the latest windows 8.1 driver for my dell venue 11 pro installed and the issue was gone.  The driver that downloaded from MS caused the issue for me.  Going to the OEM driver made the issue go away and I was able to update to 9926 without issue.

I originally did the same, but it did not work out well for me.

I am using version: 10.18.10.3910 which is actually a Intel driver... not sure, must have used the wrong USB drive to install :p

In any case, you can google and find it for download.

I did a clean install by the way so I dunno if that made a difference.

    • Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Rufus alternative Ventoy now supports Windows 11's mandatory update, fixes major boot bug by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has its own official Media Creation Tool used for making bootable USB media, there are some popular third-party utilities as well which offer additional options like bypassing system requirements, Microsoft Account creation, and more. One of these is Ventoy, and the software has received its latest update today. In fact, the app actually got a slew of updates over the last couple of days, three version releases in total, to be specific. The first release, version 1.1.13, was pulled as there was some unspecified error in the update, and as such, the corrected version 1.1.14 was pushed out. Following that on very short notice, 1.1.15 was published as well. For those unfamiliar, Ventoy is an open-source utility that lets users create a bootable USB drive once and then simply copy ISO, WIM, IMG, VHD, or EFI files onto it without repeatedly formatting the drive. It supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI boot modes, Secure Boot, and a wide range of operating systems, making it one of the most versatile tools in the category. The biggest change in version 1.1.14 is an updated Secure Boot shim file aimed at resolving the UEFI CA 2023 issue, which is basically a compatibility problem that has affected Secure Boot environments on some systems. If you recall, we reported about severe boot issues on HP devices following the release of updated Secure Boot 2023 keys. For anyone who may not be aware, back in early 2024, Microsoft announced that it was updating Secure Boot keys as they were going to become 15 years old in 2026, which is also when they are set to expire. As such, the new 2023 certificates have been rolling out with the newest Windows 11 updates. Updated boot manager and Secure Boot certificates are crucial for protection against malware like bootkits. These are mandatory updates. Alongside that, the VentoyPlugson graphical plugin configurator was updated in sync with the release. The update also introduces a new VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option within the Global Control plugin, giving users more flexibility in managing Secure Boot behavior. Ventoy has also received a fix for a startup issue when Secure Boot was disabled. Microsoft does officially allow users to boot systems without Secure Boot as long as the PC is Secure Boot capable. The full changelog is given below: Update secure boot shim file to solve the UEFI CA 2023 issue. The new release use a new CA, so you need to enroll the new key for the first boot time. VentoyPlugson update synchronously. Global control plugin add a VTOY_SECURE_BOOT_POLICY option. Fix the boot issue when Secure Boot is disabled in the UEFI firmware. You can download the latest version of the app here on Ventoy's official GitHub repo or from Neowin software stories.

      Windows 11 is fine, no issues on any of the machines I've run it on since release. The stricter security requirements are a good thing, sometimes the baseline needs to change and people will winge, but it is what it is. Happened with the move from 9x to NT - broke compatability Happened with XP SP2 when security started to become a serious consideration Certainly happend with Vista that brought in UAC, the concept of not running as admin (something that has been the norm in Linux/Unix from pretty much the start) and a completely new driver stack. Windows 11 will probably get looked back at as the point where even consumer and SMB IT was dragged kicking and screaming into a somewhat secure by default configuration.

      Bluestacks has been emulating Android on Windows for fifteen years. It's janky and riddled with ads though, so WSA looked like it was going to be a huge improvement over the emulator experience. Too bad Microsoft dropped the ball on that.

      The world is larger then your small viewpoint. Plenty of scientists care about this, especially those involved in space.
