Summary

Article describing why applications based on DirectX 12 no longer
work on 4th generation Intel graphics (codename Haswell)

Description

Starting with driver 15.40.44.5107 applications that run exclusively
on DirectX* 12 API no longer work with the following Intel Graphics
Controllers:

  * 4th Generation Intel(r) Core(tm) Processors with Intel(r) Iris(tm) Pro
    Graphics 5200
  * 4th Generation Intel(r) Core(tm) Processors with Intel(r) Iris(tm) Graphics
    5100
  * 4th Generation Intel(r) Core(tm) Processors with Intel(r) HD Graphics
    5000/4600/4400/4200
  * Intel(r) Pentium(r) and Celeron(r) Processors with Intel(r) HD Graphics
    based on 4th Generation Intel(r) Core(tm)

Resolution

A potential security vulnerability in Intel(r) Graphics may allow
escalation of privilege on 4th Generation Intel(r) Core(tm) processors.
 Intel has released a software update to mitigate this potential
vulnerability.  In order to mitigate the vulnerability, DirectX 12
capabilities were deprecated.

If you need DirectX 12 applications running on these processor's
graphics, downgrade the driver to version 15.40.42.5063 or older.
