Display driver stopped responding and has recovered Error
Is there anything i can do other than wait for an new driver to be released? Is there a beta driver that I can try to see if it fixes the problem?
I just found a slightly newer driver at the intel site that is newer than the one that you get when you check for a new driver in the graphics pane in windows 10-64
64bit - win64_15407.4279.exe
but the problem remains exactly the same as before 3 restarts of the driver and then the driver is locked out
The take from other support websites puts the blame squarely on the Iris driver so I asked at the Intel Iris support forum if there was a Beta version that can fix this problem that is available to test yet. the sense I get there is that I have to get what I need from a bootcamp update from Apple
How do I revert to the driver in bootcamp to see if it will fix the problem?
in the same way... Should I try the driver from Microsoft that comes with Win 10-64 if so how do I force its use rather than the intel 4279 driver
