Acer Aspire E5-571 Display Driver on Windows 10
I have an Acer Aspire E5-571 which comes with windows 8 and which I have upgraded to windows 10 (Home 64-bit).
Since then, I have a number of issues with the Intel HD Graphics driver:
- when using MS excel the driver crashes while scrolling
- lately I have connected an extended monitor through a USB3 Dock and am running latest DisplayLink drivers – the external screen is set as the main display – when using MS office apps the external display freezes and I have to reconnect it (using windows+p or unplugging the hdmi) – the application itself does not crash – the external display screen freezes while the other one is fine.
My current driver version: 10.18.15.4248 which is dated 2015/08/18 and is the latest provided by ACER – https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/5344?b=1
This is outdated as current drivers for the i3-4005U are
Version: 15.40.34.4624 (Latest) Date: 3/30/2017 – https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26682/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-40-?product=75105
I am not allowed to update the driver as windows keeps the driver recommended by manufacturer.
Is there any way to force the installation of the latest driver; provided ofc that it would work?
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
