fiveworlds Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Just the other day my computer "decided that it wouldn't wake up from sleep mode anymore" this happened as a result of a bad intel graphics driver automatic update. So I had to search for an old driver that would work on my system. The problem is that no games will play on the driver that I found because it is over 2 years old. Is intel legally allowed to automatically update me to a driver that is obviously completely untested on my computer? Surely they could make the update software know that a driver will not work on my chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even remain forever, if nobody bothers reporting them (or reporting them not to authors of software, like in this case, but to some unrelated community, complaining on forum)..

I reported it straight away but have yet to hear back from them and it has been a good few days. This isn't the first computer that has had problems with drivers I just find it frustrating that they haven't properly tested software which could make my computer completely unusable.
