    Disabled Drivers and Dead Monitors


    So I accidentally disabled the driver for my monitors trying to fix the main monitor. The main monitor wasn't working and I made it worst with disabling the driver and killing the signal from my second monitor. No signal to my monitors so I can't see anything, how can I fix this?

    :)

  2. Graphics Driver Issue with Monitor auto disabling!

    Since installing the latest Windows Fall update, I have a bug I cant fix. I have an Nvidia 1080 GTX card with 3 monitors connected. All working fine before update. After the update, and restart, the main monitor connected to the display port disabled. But
    windows 10 still listed it as an active monitor. Disabling it in control panel, disconnecting the cable and rebooting didn't resolve this. Installing the latest 388.13 drivers immediately enabled the screen and all working fine, even after a restart.

    Next day I had the same problem and the monitor wouldn't switch on, although Windows listed it as active still. Again installing the driver fresh resolved the issue. However yesterday the login screen defaulted to the disabled monitor so I couldn't log in.
    I tried having only one monitor connected but made no difference. In the end I had to resort to a complete reinstall. I did a fresh format on the OS, carried out all updates and all working fine. Then this morning the same problem again! This was using the
    standard Windows Drivers before installing the Nvidia ones, eliminating the driver as the issue.

    Any ideas as I'm fearful the same problem will manifest and I wont be able to log into the machine again after spending a day rebuilding it!

    Hi,



    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.



    I understand the inconvenience that primary monitor of your computer says that there are no driver updates to Windows 10. We will help you to resolve this issue.



    I would like to inform that as the manufacturer website says there are no updated driver, you will have to wait for the drivers to be released.



    I suggest you to refer to the below steps as a workaround and check if it helps:

    Method 1: I suggest you to try the steps check for the updates using below updates:


    • Right click on the Start button on the desktop and select
      Device manager.

    • With Device Manager open, click
      >
      icon to open the category that you think contains the device you want to update the drivers for.

    • Once you've found the device you're updating drivers for, right click on the hardware's name or icon and choose
      Update Driver Software.

    • The Update Driver Software wizard will begin, which we'll completely step through to finish the Windows 10 driver update for this piece of hardware.

    • Follow the onscreen instructions.
    Note: If updates are found the device would be updated.





    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of this issue, we will be happy to help you.

    dual monitors stops sound

    Hi David,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    To assist you better, I suggest you to answer the below questions.

    • When will the sound disable, when playing through main monitor or the extended monitor?
    • Did you try enabling the sound from the sound drivers and check if it helps?
    • Since from when are you facing this issue?
    This issue causes because the monitor automatically takes the HDMI sound as the Default input. Disable and enable the speakers and check if it helps.

    I suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.

    • Right click on the volume control and then
      Properties
      ,
    • When you connect the HDMI it becomes the default output device, even though it has no speakers.
    • You need to change this back to "Speakers" and set as default.
