Minecraft Forums

Hey all! So, I'm not sure if I'm posting the right thread in the correct part of the forum, so any admin/moderator/person with thread moving power reading this, feel free to move this to its right spot. Anyway, I'm sure a lot of you have at least had the error of "Pixel format not accelerated", and I'm sure you've fixed it by now. I should provide backstory to my problem, so here it is: After upgrading to Windows 10, and settling everything out, I went to download Minecraft. Downloaded the .exe version instead of the installer. Opened it, had it get setup, logged in and then downloaded 1.8.8. After a few seconds, the launcher came back up with the error message of Pixel format and that my drivers were outdated, and needed updating. I thought, "Hm.", so I clicked "Fix your drivers." and I read all of it, before scrolling down to my driver. My driver is this: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1). I first downloaded the Intel Driver Update Utility, ran it and it told me that my driver was up to date.

I was a bit puzzled, so I tried manually looking for an update to my driver. Nothing. I reread the instructions on the support site, carefully, to see if I missed anything. Everything looked fine, redid the DxDiag check, reran the Intel thing, still nothing. I tried disabling and moving things around to see if the problem would fix, but it did not. I'm not sure what's going on, and I really need help. My thought is that, first I'll post on the forum to see if I can find a solution, and if not, send a report to the Mojang support.

And for those that are going to ask for the DxDiag report:
