Briefly informed. After Intel released the graphics driver 31.0.101.4672 as WHQL, a new non-WHQL driver 31.0.101.4676 follows. Here too, the focus was on improvements to the Starfield game. So if you are not a gamer, you can definitely skip this driver.
As with the last driver, Microsoft ASP .NET Core 7.0.7 and Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime (7.0.7 x64) will continue to be installed additionally. If both were already present in the system, they can be uninstalled. Thanks to gur_helios.
