Outdated or malfunctioning graphics drivers can cause a range of graphical issues. Below are instructions on how to uninstall and re-install your current GPU drivers. If you are familiar with the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) then you can use that to thoroughly remove all traces of your current drivers before re-installing. Keep in mind that DDU is more advanced and you should only use it if you feel comfortable doing so.

Intel disclaimer
Intel supplies generic versions of graphics drivers for general purposes.

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)
DDU is currently the most thorough way to remove all traces of a malfunctioning graphics driver and is often more successful than software provided by the GPU manufacturers.
DDU disclaimer
DDU is to the best of our knowledge completely safe, but you are solely responsible for any damages or loss caused by using DDU. If you do not feel comfortable using DDU, please instead follow the instructions above for your current GPU, or contact a certified PC technician for specialized assistance.
