Hey, I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760. Everything works fine on my computer but I have a question about Intel HD Graphics. Can I uninstall it? I know most people will say its not affecting anything and you should just leave it, but is it actually necessary to operate on the computer? I'm really OCD about this stuff and like it all clean. :D

Depending on your motherboard you should be able to enter the BIOS, and disable it at the BIOS level, in which case it would disappear from your devices list in Windows.

But yes, you can uninstall it and it shouldn't cause any problems. Find some info about your motherboards BIOS settings and see if it's possible.

I don't care about disabling it, just removing the drivers from my installed list.

Then go right ahead. However, if, after removing the drivers Windows constantly bugs you to install the drivers, you should disable it at the hardware level.

Oh ok, thankyou for your help! I've been wondering this forever. I'll look into disabling it later on. Take care!

you're OCD about uninstalling the drivers for something that isn't necessary, but not bothered about disabling it completely, so only partially OCD then LOL! Sorry, I'm OCD about whether someone's OCD.

So just uninstall the drivers.

Not actually OCD XD. Just saying I like it being clean. I didn't think that disabling would matter if the drivers were there. I'm going to find a thread about disabling it know since I don't want it to bug me.
