Windows 10: Code 43: an exercise in futility

NaturalBlood · Jul 24, 2020

Specifically regarding the display driver.

I could also say it's stupid and pointless because I simply have to disable/enable the driver via Device Manager and the little yellow triangle disappears - and if I don’t reboot my ROG, say, for a month then the display functions perfectly for that month. But rebooting brings up code 43, and going through the ritual of disabling and re-enabling puts it right again.

Initially I thought it was a Nvidia issue, but after uninstalling Nvidia/rollback to the Windows driver I receive the same error. I’ve tried every conceivable thing save reinstalling Windows to eradicate the problem – registry, updating bios and chipset, system restore, image recovery, ‘error 43 fixer’ patch, Windows Update, troubleshooting… etc. So I’m not asking for advice. I’d just like to understand why a supposedly faulty driver is cured of its faults merely by re-enabling, yet it becomes ‘faulty’ again on reboot.

Clearly, there’s nothing wrong with the countless driver versions I’ve installed.

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars. But in Windows.”

An Exercise In frustration and futility

How is it possible to talk to a technician at Microsoft, which I will gladly pay to do, about the problem I have. Trying to do it by chat and typing is an exercise in frustration and futility. Is there a number I can call where I can talk to someone directly
without having to do it by remote control and typing? I am at my whit's end

Alienware R4 M290x Code 43 HELP

Advice from Microsoft: Graphics device driver error code 43

Windows stopped your device because it reported problems. To fix it, try the following:

Select the Start button, then in the search box next to Start, type device manager and select Device Manager from the list of results.

Find the problematic device in the list (it will often have a yellow exclamation point icon next to it).

Press and hold (or right-click) the name of the device, and select Properties. In Properties, select the Driver tab, select Roll Back Driver, then follow the steps. If the button is unavailable, that means there's no driver to roll back to.

Select Uninstall device and then select Uninstall.

At the top of the list of devices in Device Manager, press and hold (or right-click) the name of your PC, then select Scan for hardware changes. This reinstalls the device driver.

To see if this fixed the problem, press and hold (or right-click) the name of the device again and select Properties. On the General tab, under Device status, you should see This device is working properly. If you don’t see this message, refer to the documentation that came with the device or contact the manufacturer.
