The Intel® Graphics Control Panel (Intel® GCP) application has been discontinued from the Microsoft* Store as of March 16, 2021. 

The Intel Graphics Control Panel has now been replaced by the Intel® Graphics Command Center for systems with 6th Generation Intel® processors or newer. The Intel Graphics Command Center has the latest features and capabilities and will continue to be the user interface for future improvements.  For instructions to install the Intel Graphics Command Center see, How to Install the Intel® Graphics Command Center. For more information about the Intel Graphics Command Center, see Intel® Graphics Command Center Frequently Asked Questions.

The Intel Graphics Control Panel will remain on systems that have the Intel Graphics Control Panel previously installed from the Microsoft Store. This solely impacts systems that do not have the application currently installed and those that wish to install the application.

Notes
  • Systems with Intel legacy graphics drivers labeled as 15.45.xx.xxxx, 15.40.xx.xxxx, 15.36.xx.xxxx, 15.33.xx.xxxx are not affected by the removal. These drivers have the Intel Graphics Control Panel bundled with the graphics driver package. To identify your graphics driver, see What's My Intel® Graphics Driver Version?
  • The Intel® Graphics Control Panel (Intel® GCP) application might still show up in Microsoft* Store with a "Redeem Code" option, however this is not actually active and Intel is not providing any code to download the application.
