I have a laptop, Acer Swift 3 with integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics.
Today I received a notification through Intel driver support assistant that I have an update for my graphics driver but it came with the following warning attached in the picture below.
Is it safe to update to this driver?
My main concern is battery life.
Just a general 'rule of thumb' on this type of decision…
If the laptop is sufficiently new that the manufacturer is still making regular driver updates - stick with them.
After a year or two they usually stop; effectively abandoning your machine forever unless something major needs updating for security reasons etc.
Once that point comes, then hang onto the last driver until your next major OS revision, or until something no longer works properly with the old driver.
That's probably then the time to switch to Intel's drivers instead.
