Last updated
Arc Control is the settings hub for Intel graphics. Driver options, per-game performance profiles, overlay metrics, capture folders, and broadcast settings all live in local app data. The app also fronts driver downloads so the GPU stays current.
Exact folder names may vary by version, so prefer in-app export and screenshots over filesystem surgery. Capture locations deserve a glance before long sessions since high-bitrate clips fill small drives fast. Keep the app updated; new game profiles arrive with driver releases.

Frequently asked questions
How do I update Arc drivers?
Open Arc Control and use the driver update section rather than hunting installer EXEs. Clean-install when overlays misbehave after major Windows updates. Settings survive driver updates but reset on clean installs, so screenshot tuned profiles first.
Do game profiles survive reinstalls?
Per-game profiles with tuning and capture settings follow the driver install. Back up the app data folder before clean installs or let the installer migrate settings. A reset profile usually means the clean-install checkbox was ticked.
