Are you serious? I know how to update my browser. I literally said that this was a problem after updating to the newest version and then the patch.

can you try to update you graphics driver & see if this can make a difference?: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24970/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-8-1-32bit (this should be the right link for your configuration)

Unfortunately, when I downloaded and tried to install it reads "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software." Oh, well, I guess.

does the intel driver utility find anything then? https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html

Yes, it found the driver you originally linked me to, as well as Intel Chipset Device Software, which failed to install. Funnily enough, the driver using the utility actually installed this time...I think.

does it make a noticeable difference in regards to the hangs/slownes?

I mean, I won't really know until later in my session. So far, so good, but it was never just one particular thing, but a general sluggishness and hang the longer I went on.

The initial hangs after the latest update seem to be gone, so there is that. I'll really know when I try to go through someone's instagram page. That's when it really used to mess up and make the browser go black.

Well, did some browsing through some instagram pages, and the graphics finally did mess up. What happens is that the page either becomes fully white or fully black. I then have to minimize or restore down to try and get the graphics on the other tabs back. Usually it requires closing a few tabs and restoring down and then maximizing a few times. I can not figure out why this keeps happening.

Anyway, the hanging seems to have stopped, so I guess this answered and helped this question.
