您更新图形驱动程序(update graphics drivers)以使您的计算机保持最佳性能并提高兼容性 - 但有时更新这些驱动程序可能会失败。当您的图形驱动程序安装或更新失败时,可能是制造商的错,而不是您的错。
大多数时候,系统制造商会强迫您从他们的网站而不是英特尔的网站下载图形驱动程序。这是因为他们希望您只使用经过测试可以在机器上运行的软件。
为确保这一点,他们阻止安装从Intel获得的软件。如果您尝试安装Intel的版本,您会收到以下错误消息:
The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer.
这类似于您的系统说您已经拥有比您要安装的驱动程序更好的驱动程序的(you already have a better driver than the one you’re about to install)问题。
但是,驱动程序错误不会成为问题,但问题是制造商并不以推出及时的图形驱动程序更新而闻名。如果您只能使用Intel的驱动程序软件,则可以通过手动安装来修复错误。
未为此计算机验证正在安装的驱动程序
请按照以下步骤在您的计算机上手动安装 Intel 显卡驱动程序。(install the Intel graphics driver)
- (Download)从Intel(Intel)下载并解压驱动程序软件。
- 将文件资源管理器设置(Set File Explorer)为显示文件扩展名。
- 打开设备管理器。
- 浏览(Browse)下载的驱动程序软件。
- 导入 .INF 文件。
- 安装显卡驱动。
如果您的制造商阻止您手动更新英特尔(Intel) 显卡(graphics)驱动程序,请继续阅读本指南以了解手动更新英特尔显卡驱动程序的完整步骤。
手动安装设备驱动程序很容易,但不如常规软件安装那么简单。幸运的是,您只需执行一次。第一次之后,您将能够以正常方式安装图形驱动程序。
要手动安装显卡(Graphics)驱动程序,首先从 intel.com下载驱动程序软件。(downloading the driver software)下载在一个 zip 存档中。因此,您可以提取 zip 文件夹的内容。
您可以使用zip 提取和压缩工具(zip extraction and compression tool)或右键单击 zip 并从上下文菜单中选择“全部提取 ”选项来执行此操作。(Extract all )
转到您将其提取到的文件夹并将文件资源管理器(File Explorer)设置为显示其文件扩展名。为此,请单击查看 (View )选项卡并标记 文件扩展名(File name extensions)复选框。
接下来,按 Windows key + R 组合并键入 devmgmt.msc,然后按 Enter。这将打开设备管理器(opens the Device Manager)。
展开显示适配器 (Display adapters )部分以显示您的英特尔(Intel) 显卡(graphics)驱动程序。右键单击此驱动程序并 从上下文菜单中单击属性。(Properties)
转到 驱动程序(Driver)选项卡,然后单击 更新驱动程序 (Update Driver )按钮。接下来,Windows将询问您希望从哪里更新驱动程序。选择 浏览我的电脑以查找驱动程序软件(Browse my computer for driver software)。
在下一个屏幕上,确保您 没有单击“浏览”按钮(don’t click the Browse button)。相反,请选择让我从计算机上的可用驱动程序列表中(Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer)选择选项。点击 下一步(Next)继续。
接下来,单击 列表下方的“从磁盘(Have Disk)安装”按钮,然后浏览到您解压缩下载的 zip 文件的目录。转到 Graphics文件夹并双击此目录中的 .INF文件。
该文件名为igdlh64.inf,但它可以命名为任何名称。只需(Just)查找.inf文件。这适用于 64 位机器。如果您使用 32 位Windows PC ,请选择igdlh32.inf 。这就是我们之前将文件资源管理器(File Explorer)设置为显示扩展名的原因。
选择文件后点击打开,(Open)英特尔(Intel)驱动程序现在将显示在列表中。单击 下一步(Next)按钮继续。
允许(Allow)Windows 从这里接管它并安装驱动程序。成功安装英特尔(Intel)显卡驱动程序后,您会看到一个屏幕显示它。单击(Click)关闭 按钮(Close)退出安装。最后,重新启动计算机,以便完全安装驱动程序。
本次安装驱动后,在尝试安装英特尔(Intel)驱动时,再也不会出现“正在安装的驱动未验证”的错误信息。您只需双击.exe文件即可随后安装驱动程序软件。

The driver being installed is not validated for this computer
You update graphics drivers to keep your computer in tiptop performance and improve compatibility – but updating these drivers can fail sometimes. When your graphics driver installation or updating fails, it could be the manufacturer’s fault and not yours.
Most times, the system manufacturer forces you to download the graphics drivers from their website and not Intel’s. This is because they want you only to use software that’s tested to work on the machine.
To ensure this, they block the installation of the software got from Intel. If you attempt to install Intel’s version, you get the following error message:
The driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer manufacturer.
This is similar to the issue where your system says you already have a better driver than the one you’re about to install.
However, the driver error wouldn’t have been an issue, but the problem is that manufacturers aren’t known for rolling out timely graphics driver updates. If all you can lay your hands on is the driver software from Intel, you can fix the error by installing it manually.
The driver being installed is not validated for this computer
Follow the steps below to install the Intel graphics driver manually on your computer.
- Download and extract the driver software from Intel.
- Set File Explorer to show file extensions.
- Open the Device Manager.
- Browse for the downloaded driver software.
- Import the .INF file.
- Install the graphics driver.
Continue reading this guide for the full steps for updating your Intel graphics driver manually if your manufacturer is preventing you from doing it.
Manual installation of device drivers is easy but not as straightforward as regular software installation. Luckily, you only need to do it once. After the first time, you would be able to install the graphics drivers the normal way.
To install Graphics drivers manually, start by downloading the driver software from intel.com. The download is in a zip archive. So, you can extract the contents of the zip folder.
You can do that with a zip extraction and compression tool or by right-clicking on the zip and selecting the Extract all option from the context menu.
Go to the folder you extracted it to and set File Explorer to display their file extensions. To do this, click on the View tab and mark the File name extensions checkbox.
Next, press the Windows key + R combination and type devmgmt.msc, and hit ENTER. This opens the Device Manager.
Expand the Display adapters section to reveal your Intel graphics card driver. Right-click on this driver and hit Properties from the context menu.
Go to the Driver tab and click on the Update Driver button. Next, Windows will ask where you wish to update the driver from. Select the Browse my computer for driver software.
On the next screen, ensure that you don’t click the Browse button. Instead, choose the Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer option. Hit Next to continue.
Next, click on the Have Disk button below the list and browse to the directory in which you extracted the zip file you downloaded. Go to the Graphics folder and double-click on the .INF file in this directory.
The file is named igdlh64.inf but it could be named anything. Just look for the .inf file. This is for 64-bit machines. Select igdlh32.inf if you use a 32-bit Windows PC. This is the reason why we set File Explorer to show extensions earlier.
Hit Open after selecting the file, and the Intel driver will now show in the list. Click the Next button to continue.
Allow Windows to take it over from here and install the driver. On successful installation of the Intel graphics driver, you’ll see a screen saying it. Click on the Close button to exit the installation. Finally, restart your computer so that the driver is completely installed.
After installing the driver this time, you’ll never get the “driver being installed is not validated” error message again when you try to install Intel drivers. You can simply double-click on the .exe file to install driver software subsequently.
