    Hi Roland

    What is the exact make and model?

    Open Start, type: system information

    Hit Enter

    Click System summary

    Look in the right pane

    Copy the system sku info into reply here.

    See example: https://imgur.com/qzektpA

    First, try restarting your graphics driver:

    Press Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B

    If that does not work...

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Device Manager

    Expand Display adapters

    Right click the current display adapter

    Click Properties

    Click Driver tab

    Click Rollback driver if the option is available

    If not

    Right click the current display adapter

    Click Uninstall

    Check the box that says, "Delete the driver software for this device.”

    Exit Device Manager

    Restart

    Go to Start -> Settings -> Update & security, then Check for updates and install any available updates.

    You might need to update the display driver from the manufacturer of your computers website.

    If you have an nVidia, AMD ATI video card or Intel HD graphics installed, you can download the latest drivers from their website.

    First, determine what type of graphics you have installed.

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Device Manager

    Expand Display adapters

    Once you have determined the graphics driver, go the vendors website and search for the driver in the download section:

    Intel - Downloads for Graphics Drivers - Drivers & Software - Intel

    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/80939/...

    nVidia - http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

    AMD ATI - Download Drivers - AMD Support

    http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

    Some of these sites offer autodetect options.
