In short, I'm lazy and don't want to have to manually install updated driver components for the intel HD3000 IGP all the time so I made this package, the drivers are all newer than what you get from the vanilla 9.17.10.4229 driver package intel offer on their website. Only aim was to make a lazy mans shortcut so I have no idea what compatibility issues these drivers might resolve but unlike if you just let Windows install the 4459 driver through WU this package restores/maintains hardware encoding QuickSync capabilities with encoding software like Handbrake. You don't need to do anything special to install these drivers, all digital signatures are in tact just extract the archive with IZArc or whatever your preferred archive utility is and run Setup.exe to install like you would any official intel driver.

Main updated components:

Intel(R) Graphics Driver: 9.17.10.4229 > 9.17.10.4459
True Win10 64bit driver dated 19/05/2016, sourced from Windows Update Catalog which states these drivers were provided by intel. Makes you wonder why the hell intel couldn't release an updated driver package for SB HD3000 at the time doesn't it?

Intel(R) Display Audio Driver: 6.14.00.3097 > 6.16.0.3200
True W10 64bit driver dated 22/06/2017 from intel 6th gen HD display driver 15.45.5174, it replaces the ancient driver intel package with the vanilla HD3000 drivers that are dated from 2012 :O

Intel(R) Control Center: 4/6/2015 > 8/10/2020
From the intel 6th gen HD display driver 15.45.5174, in theory, should provide some bug fixes over the vanilla 2015 version. Bit of trivia: the ICCS provided in the last 4229 intel HD3000 driver is 2 years newer than the one provided with the 6th gen 5174 W10 driver... things like this go some way to showing why intel drivers are total arse.

Supports Intel(R) HD3000 graphics on:
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 / i5 / i7 processors
2nd generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 / i7 vPro(TM) processors
Intel(R) Pentium(R) Processor 900/B900/G600/G800 Series
Intel(R) Celeron(R) Processor 700/800/B700/B800/G400/G500 Series

++ Note: WDDM 1.3 features such as Miracast are not supported for these processors.


Still to do:
Find compatible updated OpenCL CPU SDK libraries to include with installer, and some compatible MediaSDK components to try and get some better hardware encoding optimisation. Both of these things are probably a pipe dream though.
