After updating my graphic drivers to the latest (25.20.100.6471). My Control Panel is no where to be found. Microsoft store installed an app for Intel graphics control panel but it does not open. I very rarely use it but would like to have it back. Is there a way to get it back. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. That didn't work. Even did a clean install of Windows 10. Nothing seemed to work. I have Intel HD graphics 530.

Update. I called Microsoft and after about two hours they concluded that my control panel was not compatible with the driver. That was yesterday. This morning I tried it and I now have my control panel working.

Glad you got it sorted out. Had the same thing happen to me with a few basic client builds in the past using Intel iGPU with certain drivers, that I believe were not compatible at the time with the Intel Control Panel due to Microsoft Updates or lackthereof -- later rectified.
