Driver download link: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/29988/Intel-Graphics-Windows-10-DCH-Drivers?product=126790;
Please use the link on your remote desktop, not on your local PC, from which you are connecting.

Important! Driver installer must be run as administrator! To do this, right-click on the file and select “Run as administrator”.

Run the downloaded file, install drivers and reboot the system.

If you accidentally installed Intel® drivers not as an administrator, then the following situation may occur: when you launch LDPlayer you might get an error “Sorry, but version OpenGL is too low, please upgrade your graphics driver!”

To solve this problem you need to install the beta version of the current driver version. This action will overwrite previously installed libraries. To do this, follow this link (please note that the driver version is constantly updated. To find the current driver version, enter Intel® HD Graphics 630 in the search bar).

After that run the downloaded file as administrator, overwrite the existing driver libraries and reboot the system.

OpenGL should be updated to version 4.6 and LDPlayer should start running without errors. Now you can either use the current driver version or, if you wish, reinstall the latest version from the Intel® website.

It is important to note that LDPlayer can conflict with antiviruses, particularly with Avast and Kaspersky Internet Security. In order to avoid errors, it is recommended to disable or remove all antiviruses first. If you cannot uninstall Avast from the Add / Remove Programs menu, use the following utility from the official program website: https://files.avast.com/iavs9x/avastclear.exe.

If you have any additional questions, please contact your manager.
