Switchable graphics using Windows Update update

Good evening

This may be a very stupid question, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere else.

I have a HP Envy-m6 with switchable graphics, with the usual of an Intel HD 4000 combination and an AMD Radeon HD 7600M graphics card.

When I bought the laptop and did not realize he had switchable graphics, I made the mistake of updating the drivers for one of these cards through the manufacturer sites, bringing all to go haywire. I finally managed to restore it and I was told that the only way in which you can update these drivers is via the software driver on the HP website offerend (or perhap use HP Support Assistant).

However, only today, Windows Update indicated that there were updates for pilots of the AMD and Intel. My question is simple: can I update the two drivers through Windows Update, or it will cause switchable graphics break?

If I can't use Windows Update to update these drivers, HP will come out a combined driver package that integrates these new drivers on the Support Web site at some point?

Apologies if these questions are obivous, but I couldn't easily find the answer elsewhere, and I would rather have to re-install my drivers from scratch once again.

Hi Tio_Holzman,

Updates Windows checks the site of the manufacturer for updated drivers.  I recommend that you use the HP drivers, HP may have modified them for your exact system.  As you said when you install the drivers from the manufacture website, they do not always perform as you want and this is why.

The HP Support Assistant check the HP site for the current drivers for you exact model.

Pilots will be published or updated at the discretion of HP.

I hope that this has answered your questions.

  • Should I use Windows update for updates or download Toshiba bullet only?

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite laptop computer with Windows XP. I wonder what should I use windows update to download patches and additions or only
    install quick fix from the Toshiba support pages? Is there a difference?

    I noticed that to the Toshiba support site, there is no new update (miracles) have come in this year at all.

    I ask this because I have some time ago asked Toshiba (when I contacted their support) I use only WLAN updates provided by Toshiba, Intel does not update even if I have the Intel WLAN card in my laptop and there was new driver at the side of Intel.

    I agree with the previous user. I never installed all the patches page download Toshiba, just used Windows Update option in Explorer. So far, I've never noticed some problems.

    If you clean the OS installation I recommend you to install SP2 (if missing) and after doing this run Windows updates.

    I can't tell you much on Intel, but I repeatedly used newer drivers directly from the Intel download page.

  • Apply SP3 to sp3.cab manually instead of using Windows Update?

    The original installation software of my PC included only Service Pack 2.  I used the update to upgrade my machine to SP3.  It took a lot of time (about 90 minutes).  What I would like to know... are the installation of SP3 files downloaded to my machine in a format that would allow me to run the update manually without going through Windows Update.  I found the SP3.cab file on my machine... but it isn't but 22.7 MB while updating told me that the download was (if I remember correctly) 66 MB approximately.  I don't want to download the full blown sp3 (314 mb) and I would like to avoid having to use Windows update to update my machine the next time I have to rebuild this machine.  Any suggestions on the best way to do it?

    22 Sp3.cab MB isn't the whole update file, AFAIK. It is not yet a complete file.

    My advice would be to let Windows Update to install SP3 if you do want to installation offline.

    Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

    You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
    If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.

  • try to use Windows Update with Windows Mobile 6.1 gets error code 80072ee7

    First of all, I don't know why it is not a category to select Windows Mobile as the "main product" this issue is about.  Microsoft should really put in place the best support for their mobile products.

    That being said, here's my problem.  On my AT & T Tilt, which operates under Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, I can very well browse the web, use applications that require the transmission of data, connect to a wireless network in the region and can synchronize with my PC Vista very well... but try to use Windows Update to the operating system is up to date always fails each time with the same error code, no matter what I try to do.

    I saw something on the fixing of the same code error on Windows 7, but I don't think that it applies as Mobile 6.1 does not have a "Drivers" folder in the Windows system folder.  Solution Windows 7 involved by changing the "Hosts" file, but I can't seem to find where such a file may be under Mobile 6.1, or if Windows Mobile uses even a Hosts file at all.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?  Or am I pretty much just stuck, until I can afford to get one of the new 6.5 ridiculously expensive smartphones?

  • Windows Explorer stops working after that I have to use Windows Update

    Currently, using Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit service pack 1. After that I restarted the computer to finish the update/install Windows I can't use the functions from the Start button. Any attempt also runs programs through the Task Manager is met even uselessness. I gives me the error that Windows Explorer has stopped working and restarts. However, all program shortcuts that I have on the desktop can be used.

    The only way to solve the problem for me is to use the system restore to take me to a previous time when I didn't have the problem. However if I try to update by using windows update I experience the problem again.

    Im trying to download update is Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and the .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update (KB951847) x 64

    Hi Josh, I had the same problem with Windows Explorer on a HP Vista Home Edition 64-bit computer, it would keep restart loop and stops also all the programs in the taskbar.

    I searched different forums and I tried different options, but nothing worked until someone said it might be a virus. I have Norton but it does not detect anything, so I tried Defender of Windows (that I had turned off because I had Norton) of Windows Defender found this startup program called mwau.exe to rest under C:\recycler\(random numbers...) but when I open the C: drive, I couldn't find anything manually, but there is no option to delete or disable it through Windows Defender.

    Then I Googled that name and found a software called free Antivirus "Malwarebytes anti-malware 1.41 ' recommended by CNET download.com, it's a small program, but I downloaded and ran, it found and removed this mwau.exe, I have not had problems with Windows Explorer after that, apparently mwau.exe means (I think) auto update for Microsoft Windows.» But after its removal, I have more problems. My updates of Windows runs as usual and I get new updates as usual, but this muau.exe was probably evil viruses do.

    Here is the download free link http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
    In addition, when you click on download the exe file name is mbam-setup

    Good luck. See you soon.
