Photoshop GPU and Yoga 2 Pro Display Driver

Question

When I first bought my Yoga 2 Pro, Photoshop’s latest versions (CC and CS6) ran perfectly with their Graphics Processor (aka GPU aka Intel HD Graphics 4400) enabled. However, after an automated update that I didn’t notice, I receive a “display driver stopped working and recovered” message when I open Photoshop. Then I receive an “insufficient memory” message inside Photoshop and Photoshop’s Graphics Processor is disabled. Inside Control Panel-Devices, the Display Driver roll back option is disabled. So I download the latest driver from Lenovo (Intel Video Driver for Windows 8.1 64-bit - Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, version 10.18.10.3304, ivga136w8164.exe), install it, and Photoshop works with no error messages and its Graphics Processor automatically enabled. A day later, when I open Photoshop I get the same errors. So I reinstall the 3304 driver, Photoshop works fine, and a day or two later the same cycle repeats.
Anyone have a solution, please?

hi
The guide I Posted Above,
   This step stops the updates for the drivers only.
if this is what you did then that's I think is the best way if the current update of the driver is causing you issues.
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Open the Control Panel
Select System and Maintenance
Select System
Now click Advanced system settings in the left-hand panel (if the UAC is turned on, click Continue to proceed)
Next, click the Hardware tab
Click the Windows Update Driver Settings button
Now you need to select the driver update option you want to use.
The default option will automatically check for drivers and update them. To disable automatic driver updates in Vista, select either the second or third option and click OK.
