Performing a clean install of your Intel graphics card will fix the error. However, first you must get the latest driver for your Intel graphics card.

Step 1 – Download the latest Intel graphics card driver

We recommend the latter since manually downloading a driver can be cumbersome. In contrast, a driver update software automatically downloads the latest driver for you with just a few mouse clicks.

• In the Device Manager window, expand Display adapters
• The name and model of your graphics card will appear below

Once you’ve this information, go to the Intel website and search for the latest driver for your graphics card model. Make sure the selected driver is compatible with your Windows version. For example, if you use a 64-bit Windows 11 system, the driver should be for 64-bit Windows, not 32-bit.

Save the downloaded driver in a suitable location, such as the desktop.

The next step involves uninstalling these two drivers.
