As per title my ASUS VG278H is showing as Generic Non-PnP Monitor (as shown in device manager), or Digital Display (as shown in Nvidia Control Panel).

The ASUS is my secondary display. Has been working fine for years. Then today I fire up a game, my pc crashes, and when I restart, it now doesn't recognise the display.

Steps I've taken so far:

1. restart pc
2. device manager > uninstall generic display > restart pc
3. update gpu driver > restart pc
4. update display driver > restart pc
5. update windows > restart pc

All to no effect.



Any advice? Thanks in advance!

'Generic PnP monitor' issue

Hello Angelica,

I would suggest you follow steps to update the monitor driver:

Press Windows + X keys

Choose Device manager

Click on Monitors

Right click on ‘Generic PnP monitor’ and click on update driver

Tap on Browse my computer for driver software

Tap on Let me pick from a list of available drivers

Choose ‘Generic PnP monitor’ and tap on Next

When you are done please restart the computer.

 

Nothing connected yet Generic Non PnP Monitors detected

So recently my computer was formatted and I did a clean installation of Windows 10 as advised step-by-step with a Microsoft support official.

Anyways, recently without anything connected to the laptop at all Device Manager and Display settings show that there are another 4 or 5 screens regarded as Generic Non PnP monitors.

After uninstalling each Monitor from Device Manager and scanning for hardware changes it still detects 4 or 5 Generic Non PnP monitors.

How can I stop this?

Generic non PnP monitor

Hello! The other day I accidentally pulled out my BenQ 2400WD monitor's power supply cable, then replugged it in. My computer now detects my monitor as "Generic Non PnP Monitor" instead of BenQ, please help!
