I have an older notebook with a 6th gen i7 that uses the Intel CPU graphics. I installed the latest driver which is a version 31.0.101.2111. Windows keeps insisting on installing the older version 31.0.101.2003.
Normally, I would resolve this by running the Windows Show or Hide Updates Troubleshooter utility. However, when I run that utility the Intel display driver is not shown, as a result I cannot block it. Likewise, if I check for updates in Windows, the display driver is not shown. What's odd is that sometime within the next few days I'll find the laptop again reverted to the older version, so at some point Windows update must see that older version once again. Note that this happens even if I completely remove the old driver from the system.
This is the first time that I have not been able to block an older driver from being installed.
Any ideas on an alternative method to block this driver?
