Merry Christmas everyone, I don't claim credit for this discovery I just saw it on Reddit but for anyone who hasn't seen it there's some new Intel drivers out today for Skylake CPU's

Download Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows® 7/8.1/10* [15.40 6th Gen]

"

I've only had this driver installed for 10 minutes so its too early to comment on its stability but I'm keeping my fingers crossed things are working well.

So far these have done well with Connected Standby and Hibernation. Some artifacting on Facebook Video though...

I tried to install and they I got a message that said it couldn't install due to vender specific drivers? Can't remember exactly but something like that.

Download the zipped version, extract to a folder and manually update them via Device Manager.

Lol. After a reboot, two minutes after installing and browsing Tweetium I got a display driver crash.

And, from the previous post time to this one, machine just froze. Had to press power to invoke hibernate to get it to resume to a working state again.
