Why Did My Intel GPU Disappear from Task Manager?

Asked By CuriousCat123 On

I have a laptop with Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics, and I tried updating the drivers. However, I noticed that during the preparation phase, my download took up too much storage, so I decided to cancel it. Now, when I checked the Task Manager to play a game, the GPU tab is missing from the processes section, even though it still shows up in the performance tab. Is there any way to get it back without having to reinstall the drivers? This is my first time updating drivers, so I'm a bit unsure about what to do next.

It sounds like when you canceled the driver update, it removed the old version but didn't install the new one. To fix this, you'll need to go to the Intel website and download the latest drivers again. Just a heads up, the downloads can be larger than you might expect because they often include drivers for different systems, but it's usually not as big as some other things out there. Give that a try!

I just downloaded the drivers like you said, but it's still not showing in my task manager.
