I keep getting offered the above Intel update by Windows Update. I have downloaded it several times and tried to install it, but it always fails. Anyone else have the same issue? Is there a fix?

You're welcome. It seems to be (and not for the first time) an inappropriate Windows Update offering. I would just hide the update by right clicking it and selecting 'Hide Update'. That will stop it appearing, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Microsoft remove it from Windows Update anyway at some point.

I do not allow Windows to Update my drivers(I only update the graphics driver myself and leave everything else alone)
