Explanation about the discrepancies between Third-Party updater and Intel® DSA for Graphics Driver
The Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA) compares drivers from the Intel Download Center to determine compatibility with Intel systems. In contrast, the Third-Party Updater tool does not provide matching updates, so there is no confirmation that the reported driver updates are accurate.
Take note that the update from Intel® Driver & Support Assistant is more reliable as it utilizes drivers and firmware directly from the Intel Download Center. In contrast, the Third-Party Updater tool lacks clear visibility into the source of its updates. Intel® Driver & Support Assistant compares the device IDs and system specs from the user's system with the Intel Download Center metadata to ensure accurate detection and updates are offered.
