Hello,

Please open Device Manager, locate your graphics card, and uninstall it. Make sure to check “Delete the driver software for this device”.

Restart your computer, then go to your graphics card brand’s official website to download the correct driver for your model. This should restore normal graphics card functionality.

• If the issue persists, please open Device Manager, right‑click your graphics card, and select Properties so I can take a look at its status.
• If you’re not sure where to download the driver, please provide the brand and model of your graphics card and I can help you find it.

To update your display drivers after they have been disabled, you can follow these steps:

1. Check Device Manager: Open Device Manager by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting "Device Manager". Look for "Display adapters" and expand the section. If your display driver is disabled, you can right-click on it and select "Enable device".
2. Update Driver: In Device Manager, right-click on your display adapter and select "Update driver". You can choose to search automatically for updated driver software. Windows will search for the latest drivers and install them if available.
3. Manual Installation: If Windows does not find a new driver, you may need to manually download the latest driver from the manufacturer's website (IHV or OEM) and install it.
4. Fallback to Basic Display Driver: If you are unable to install the latest driver, you can use the Microsoft Basic Display Driver as a temporary solution. This driver allows you to use basic display functionality without needing a specific driver.
5. Windows Update: Ensure that your Windows is up to date, as updates can also include driver updates. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.

If you continue to experience issues, you may want to consider checking for hardware compatibility or consulting support resources specific to your device.
