Intel graphics driver won't load

I have a desktop Lenovo I7 with 32 gig of Ram and Intel UHD 770 graphics . For some reason I cannot load
the latest graphics driver from either Intel or Lenovo . It looks like it loads up but when you go back into it still is running the driver from 2025 .
Have tried everything from uninstalling current version and disconnecting ethernet . This used to work ok when upgrading so don't know what to try now .
The UHD graphics from Intel or the Lenovo website wont load . Any input appreciated

Type ---dxdiag ---in the Search box.
In the Systems page,temporarily uncheck WHQL and note the driver in use.
Have a look through the other pages.
Then try downloading the latest drivers and see if they now install.
Don't leave WHQL permanently unchecked,otherwise dodgy drivers could be installed.

I looked at this and WHQL was not checked in the setup . Tried drivers again and they will not load . Either the Intel driver or the Lenovo driver both of which are newer than the Intel driver currently installed .

The default setting for WHQL is checked.Had you previously unchecked it?
If not then your operating system is suspect.
Were the drivers which you attempted to download a later edition than those installed?

There are variations in UHD Graphics with a particular CPU and possibly other hardware considerations.
2025 driver is good, they only issue drivers about once per year.
The Release notes for the March 2026 shows very little has been updated, not worth the bother.

You may have tried to install a version not compatible with your particular CPU + integrated graphics + OEM hardware.

I know from my Lenovo History that they only seem to make Intel's integrated graphics driver available many months after Intel, 10 months on mine.
