Hi. I don't have knowledge of reverse engineering, so I had found a solution to avoid crashing in VLC, Gom player etc (I could also play 4K videos), but with Windows Media Player only audio was working. Other than that, I had all aero effects and everything was working, however, what I did was a trick to mimic compatibility at least in part, but that didn't actually provide hardware acceleration, it was only enough to avoid crashes, to keep compatibility with 3rd party players and also have aero effects. You can try it as a backup plan.

However, the original poster here did some reverse engineering as you read and fixed some files to also provide hardware acceleration not just mimic compatibility but actually give as well (hardware acceleration and everything). Since the time he had posted, I have been using his method instead all these years and I am typing at the moment from this laptop, I have never had any issues so far. Do you have a slightly different Intel Graphics card perhaps?

I am sorry for the late reply. I don't think I have a slightly different Intel Graphics Card, it is UHD 620, DEV_5917.. 

The issues went away, not sure what I did. Except the white screens when playing videos or gifs from the web.

Just a question if I'm not too late, do you get white screens for split seconds when attempting to play videos from the web in Windows 7? It could be an exclusive issue to Windows 8.1.. 

EDIT: Okay, after going through the horrors of installing Windows 7 on an NVMe and hoping legacy boot won't screw anything up, I can say that using this modified driver in Windows 7 doesn't seem to cause any issues for me. Both monitors work, VLC hardware acceleration works out of the box, the screen doesn't turn white for split second when trying to play videos from YouTube, playing 3D games also works. It is a perfect escape from Windows 10 you could say!

Thank you Mengqin for making this possible!

Hello, did someone here got hardware acceleration all up and running? Mine was crashing in editing software, Windows Media Player and VLC Media Player. I did all the modifications in the post.
