I've recently just built a new PC with the Pentium G3258 which has Intel's HD graphics.
This is a 4th generation Haswell Processor, and should have been able to decode h264 up to 4k, however upon running DXVA checker this isn't the case.
Upon searching the doom9 forums, apparently intel disabled 4k h264 decode on the hd graphics with the latest driver updates (it's still available on hd4400/hd4600 and above)
I am trying to find out more, I hope Intel hasn't deliberately disabled this feature on their lower end chips, it's not the end of the world, I plan on eventually getting an amd 300 series gpu which looks set to have h265 decoding as well, but in the mean time its a bit annoying.
