Being stuck inbetween a rock and a hard place what should I do?

When installing or updating drivers the best source is the computer manufacturer (hp, dell, etc.).
If a driver is needed an is not offered by the computer manufacture the best source is the the component manufacturer (nvidia, intel, etc.).
For HP there are multiple methods to install drivers and the number of options vary depending on whether it is a consumer or business line.
The options available for most HP computers is the HP support assistant.
There is also the HP softpaq download manager.
And there are direct downloads from the HP website (software and drivers):
HP Software and Driver Downloads for HP Printers, Laptops, Desktops and More | HP® Customer Support

On the HP web site they have available the revision history for the HP supported drivers.
Windows by default updates non-Microsoft drivers.
Intel has software to search for and download drivers: Intel Driver and Support Assistant
So it is possible that you could have gotten the current Intel driver from one of the above methods other than the HP support assistant.
The driver date that you reported is 2017 vs the other one which is 2016.

For some older computers the computer manufactures only support drivers for windows 7 and 8 and have not supported drivers for windows 10. In situations like this it is likely that you will end up at sometime using drivers from the component manufacturer.

Currently you have a graphics driver in which you have not reported BSOD, freezing, temperature problems, or display artifacts.

So continue to enjoy using the driver that you are currently using.
