The Intel® Graphics Control Panel Option Doesn't Appear When I Right-Click

Environment

Summary

Describes why the right-click context menu for the Intel® Graphics Control Panel doesn't appear.

Description

The right-click context menu, also known as the Intel® Graphics Settings or the Intel® Graphics Properties, is missing when attempting to open the Intel® Graphics Control Panel.

Resolution

This is a limitation of Windows Declarative Componentized Hardware (DCH) drivers. Intel® Graphics Drivers versions 26.20.100.6618 and newer are Windows DCH drivers. The Intel® Graphics Settings right-click contextual option is no longer available when using these Windows DCH Graphics drivers.

Instead, you can find and launch the Intel® Graphics Control Panel using the Windows Search box.
