After performing a software update, my system is falling back to software rendering in low graphics mode

Question

This question has been asked but not solved before on here. I have an Ironlake laptop with a 520 M and integrated graphics. It has been working fine for ~2 months now, but just today I performed a software update with the Software Updater application. After rebooting, my system loaded the software rendering drivers instead of the Intel integrated graphics drivers and is using low graphics mode for unity.

I managed to fix my problem by removing some ppas I had incorrectly added a few months ago:

ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/gallium-nine
ppa-purge ppa:commendsarnex/winedri3
