Windows Update (WU) removes the recently installed Intel® graphics driver.
You must install the Intel® graphics driver twice to get around the Windows Update behavior.
After installing the Intel® graphics driver a second time, Windows Update should not overwrite the installed Intel® graphics driver.
Graphics drivers that get delivered and installed through Windows* Update (WU) will always get priority over user installed drivers. This means, when a user installs a graphics driver and it's not the same version that's on Windows Update, Windows Update will overwrite the user installed graphics driver version.
