Intel has announced a major change in its hardware drivers: as of Windows 10 version 1809, Intel hardware will be required to run Windows Modern Drivers, also known as Universal Windows Drivers (UWD). The first release under this new policy is new Intel Graphics drivers. More information on the specific graphics chipsets supported by this new policy, as well as UWD in general, is provided in this Intel UWD FAQ. This new model means that custom driver installation using .INF files for example is no longer support. Intel's UWD drivers will be provided through Windows Update, or can be installed using an .exe installer downloaded from your computer manufacturer, or directly from the Intel Download Center.
