Вопрос от пользователя
Здравствуйте.
Александр, подскажите пожалуйста с одной проблемой. Я никак не могу настроить видеодрайвер (у меня видеокарта Intel HD 620, интегрированная). Значка на панель управления в системном трее (рядом с часами) — нет, по правому клику на рабочем столе — тоже ничего нет.
Драйвера уже установил прямо с сайта Intel (два раза перепроверил). Что делать, как вернуть панель управления? Отчаялся…
Здравствуйте.
Да, в последнее время Intel «усложнила» жизнь пользователям (впрочем, подобная «проблема» случается и у обладателей AMD Radeon и nVidia видеокарт). Как я понял, последние версии драйверов от Intel получили возможность в опциях не показывать этот значок, и в ряде случаев он отключен по умолчанию…
Как бы там ни было, рассмотрим проблему в пошаговом режиме (и для разных производителей видеокарт).

Нет значка в трее на панель управления видеокартой: что делать
ШАГ 1: поиск «скрывшегося» значка
Для начала порекомендовал бы проверить все «места», где может скрываться ссылка на панель управления. Рекомендую все действия (указанные ниже) — выполнять последовательно, так как приведено у меня… 👇
Вариант 1
Для начала обратите внимание на трей: дело в том, что там есть небольшая стрелочка (шторка), которая скрывает ряд значков. Попробуйте нажать на нее и посмотреть, нет ли там значка видеодрайвера (по умолчанию Windows его скрывает). 👇
Стрелочка (шторка) в трее Windows 10
Если значка нет — попробуйте кликнуть правой кнопкой мышки по панели задач и откройте ее параметры.
Параметры панели задач
Далее откройте вкладку с отображаемыми значками (как это выглядит в Windows 10 — показано на скриншоте ниже). 👇
Выберите значки, отображаемые в панели задач
И проверьте, включен ли значок для вашего устройства: передвиньте ползунок вправо, и выбранный вами значок тут же отобразится на панели задач…
Включаем!
Вариант 2
Далее попробуйте нажать правой кнопкой мышки (ПКМ) в любом свободном месте рабочего стола (т.е. там, где нет ярлыков). В появившемся меню проводника, обычно, есть ссылка, вида:
- AMD Radeon Settings (как в моем примере ниже);
- nVidia Settings;
- Intel HD — настройка графики т.д.
Собственно, вам нужно просто выбрать этот пункт — через 2-3 сек. откроется панель управления драйвером…
ПКМ в любом свободном месте раб. стола
Вариант 3
После, проверьте также панель управления (почти всегда в ее арсенале есть ссылки как на настройки драйвера звука, так и видео).
👉 В помощь!

Обратите внимание, что в панели управления режим отображения нужно изменить на «Крупные значки»!
Панель управления — крупные значки — IntelHD настройки
Вариант 4
Последние версии драйверов Intel HD не отображаются в трее (почему-то…), но создают ярлык на открытие контрольной панели в меню ПУСК. Вам нужно просто найти букву «I» в списке стартового меню (см. пример на скриншоте ниже).
Примечание: Intel Graphics Control Panel — это и есть панель управления графики (настройки видеокарты).
Intel Graphics Control Panel — ссылка в меню ПУСК
Вариант 5
В последних версиях ОС Windows очень не плохо реализован поиск.
Нажав по значку «лупы» и вписав в поисковую строку несколько первых букв вашей видеокарты (например, «Intel», «AMD», «nVidia») — ОС автоматически находит ссылку на контрольную панель (если, конечно, она у вас есть 👌).
Кстати, из меню поиска ссылку на драйвер видеокарты можно закрепить на начальном экране (см. скриншот ниже, правая часть).
Открыть контрольную панель
Вариант 6 (для Intel HD)
Ну и последний вариант, актуальный для Intel HD видеокарт (последних версий). По умолчанию, в Intel включена возможность управления картой с помощью горячих клавиш. В том числе, есть сочетание и для вызова панели управления — Ctrl+Alt+F12.
👉 На ноутбуках в некоторых случаях нужно зажимать перед этим доп. клавишу Fn — т.е. будет Fn+Ctrl+Alt+F12
Быстро открыть панель управления — Ctrl+Alt+F12
*
ШАГ 2: обновление драйверов
Если все вышесказанное никак не помогло — скорее всего у вас просто не установлен драйвер. Попробуйте 📌 открыть диспетчер устройств и посмотреть вкладку «Видеоадаптеры» (и «Другие устройства», если она есть).
Если драйверов нет (не обновлены): вы увидите устройство с названием что-то вроде «Базовый адаптер». Напротив устройств, для которых не установлен драйвер — будет гореть восклицательный знак. Пару примеров приведено на скринах ниже.
📌 В помощь!
Как обновить драйвер на видеокарту AMD, nVidia и Intel HD: от А до Я — [см. инструкцию]
Базовый видеоадаптер Microsoft
Драйвер на видеокарту установлен (слева), драйвера нет (справа)
Обновить драйвера можно следующими способами:
- если у вас ноутбук: 📌 определите его точную модель и на сайте производителя загрузите оптимизированные драйвера для именно этого устройства;
Драйверы — скриншот с сайта HP
- если ваш ПК/ноутбук подключены к интернету (и у вас ОС Windows 10/11) — можно воспользоваться и штатной функцией 📌диспетчера устройств. Достаточно кликнуть правой кнопкой мышки по устройству (например, видеокарте) и в появившемся меню выбрать «Обновить драйвер». См. пример ниже. 👇
Диспетчер устройств — обновить драйвер
- существенно упростить процесс обновления можно прибегнув к специальным утилитам и сборникам драйверов (👉 Driver Booster, 👉 Driver Pack Solution, и др.).
Обновить всё — игровые компоненты, звуковые и игровые устройства и пр. / Driver Booster

Дополнения по теме приветствуются…
А у меня на сегодня всё.
Всего доброго!

Download Windows Speedup Tool to fix errors and make PC run faster
In improving overall graphics infrastructure performance, Intel Graphics Control Panel has a key role to play. However, when you download the Intel Graphics Control Panel from the Microsoft Store and launch it from its location, the application may fail to launch. If you face this issue, then this post may help you.
Before proceeding to the solution, let us find why this error occurs in the first place. It is believed, the device manufacturer, sometimes, pushes and installs DC drivers through Windows Update service. As a result, the DC driver overwrites any DCH driver, installed earlier. Mind you, the Intel Graphics Control Panel application downloaded from the Microsoft Store is still not removed.
This leads to two instances of the Intel Graphics Control Panel trying to run on the system simultaneously, causing neither of them to open. Do the following and see if that helps you:
- Click Start.
- Got to the Settings.
- Chose Apps & Features.
- Locate Intel Graphics Control Panel and Intel Graphics Driver.
- Uninstall the two.
- Restart the computer.
- Go to Device Manager.
- Click Display Adapters.
- Right-click the Intel HD Graphics Adapter and click Update Driver.
Read the below description for more details!
Click the Start button, located at the bottom, and choose the Settings option.
Click the Apps tile to go to the Apps and Features section.
Here, locate the entries for Intel Graphics Control Panel and Intel Graphics Driver.
Uninstall the drivers and Restart the PC.
Open the Device Manager > Display Adapters.
Here, right-click the Intel HD Graphics Adapter and choose the Update Driver option.
Next, click Search automatically for the updated driver software link.
Wait for a few seconds as Windows Update will automatically search for, download, and install the latest graphics driver validated for your computer.
Alternatively, when the same error is followed by a message that says GfxUI.exe is missing, you can follow a different course of action to resolve the issue.
Right-click the Intel Graphics Control Panel shortcut and choose ‘Open file location.’ When directed to a new page, locate the shortcut file, right-click it again, and choose the ‘Open file location’ option one more time. You should be directed to a new folder like:
C:\WINDOWS\system32
Here, you should find a file called GfxUIEx.exe is highlighted. That’s the control panel you’re trying to open. Simply double-click the file to Intel Graphics Control Panel in Windows 11/10.
This should resolve the issue permanently.
Intel Graphics Control Panel Missing or Disappeared
If after installing the new DCH graphics driver the Intel Graphics Control Panel is missing and it cannot be launched using the context menu option or the tray icon, then you should know that the Intel Graphics Control Panel has now been replaced by the Intel Graphics Command Center for systems with 6th Generation Intel processors or newer. The Intel Graphics Command Center has the latest features and capabilities and will continue to be the user interface for future improvements.
