Should I install this update?

Windows 8.1. CPU is a G3220. Motherboard is ASRock B85M Pro4. Video card is a GTX 560 Ti. I've had this setup for nearly a year. This appeared in Windows Update maybe a couple of weeks ago:

The "more information" link doesn't seem to work. IIRC, I disabled the CPU video thingie when I got this board...I've always used a discrete video card.

I'm tired of seeing this thing. Why is it appearing? Should I hide it or install it? What's going to happen if I install it?

TIA

Hide it if you're not using the onboard video.

But why is he seeing that update, if the IGP is disabled? It must not be...

If you did use the onboard once.then it is still in. as a ghost driver.just hide the update

^^^^That. I actually install the new drivers, but if the OP had to use the iGPU at some time, he could just update it then. It's not like it isn't working now...

Yes he can.but assuming the op is using a ssd.why take place on it with a driver he wont use😉

 

[Charlie98]

... with a driver he probably wont use😉

There... FTFY. ()🙂 Meh, it's a matter of choice... he won't hurt anything by updating it, and it probably won't make any difference even in the long run if he doesn't.
