6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, & 12th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Graphics, & related Intel Atom®, Pentium®, and Celeron® Processors
This error is occurring on Intel® 6th Generation Core Processors or Newer Processors because the driver installed on the system is non-DCH.
Solution

5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and previous Generations Intel® Core™ Processor Graphics, & related Intel Atom®, Pentium®, and Celeron® Processors
This error occurs on Intel® 5th Generation Core Processors or Older Processors when a driver installed from your computer manufacturer (OEM) prevents the system from updating from an OEM driver to a generic Intel driver.
Solution
We advise you to always get the latest driver from your computer manufacturer. However, if you still prefer to install a newer Intel generic driver or if your computer manufacturer no longer provides new drivers, you can perform a clean installation of a generic Intel® Graphics Driver. Be aware that you risk system instability, losing functionality, or causing other technical issues that OEM drivers seek to resolve or enable.
