Intel Graphics 5th Gen Windows 10 Driver Disabled Fix

Intel Graphics 5th Gen Windows 10 Driver Disabled Fix

Windows 10 will disable the Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500 or similar GPU drivers if Hypervisor Code Integrity (HVCI) is enabled. HVCI appears to be enabled as part of Hyper-V. This affects laptops from all vendors as far as I can tell.

To disable HVCI,the registry entries outlined by Microsoft do not appear to work.

Microsoft does however provide a PowerShell script which does work.

  1. Download the script from the link above
  2. Extract the script
  3. Run the script
  • powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.6 -Ready
  • powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.6 -Disable
  1. Reboot
  2. You will be prompted in a pre-Windows environment to Press the Windows key or F3 to disable Credential Guard. I disabled this.
  3. You will next be prompted to Press the Windows key or F3 to disable HVCI. I also disabled this.

Once you're back in Windows, your hotkeys for the Intel Graphics will work as expected. Note: This DOES disable Hyper-V!!! WSL2 appears to stick around afterwards without issue.
