Remove Intel HD Graphics desktop context menu in Windows  

Hello Stevie, :)

You could try reinstalling the latest Intel graphics driver for your PC to see if it may restore the icons for you.

Hello @Brink ,

I wanted to get rid of the Graphics Properties & Graphics Options Desktop Context Menu and used the REG file above. It worked great, thank you.

I also wanted to get rid of the Intel Graphics Icon from the Taskbar using a REG file as opposed to going through the Settings > Personalization > Taskbar method, but on investigating I could NOT find a Tutorial for it.

Anyway, I have created these TWO REG files which will either Add or Remove the Intel Graphics Icon from the Taskbar. BOTH require a Computer Restart.

Remove the Intel Graphics Icon from the Taskbar:-

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

I don't know if they are worth adding to the Tutorial?
