Windows 10: Display driver does not always load at boot

I have a Geforce GT730 graphics card in my PC. Following an automatic Windows 10 update I constantly get a corrupted screen and I have to re-boot sometimes once but often many times.

I have tried updating the graphics driver and have reinstalled Windows and tried every suggestion posted on the web that I have found without success. I have noticed that windows tried to install an Nvidia graphics driver but failed. The update is now hidden so that it should not try to reinstall as I have the latest driver from the maker's download site.

It seems to me that the driver sometimes is not being loaded at boot time but I don't understand why that should not always happen; I would have thought it would either load or it wouldn't?

Any help appreciated.

Black screen after updating display drivers

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that after upgrading the graphics drivers, you are receiving a Black screen. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



However, please let us know:

• When exactly do you see a black screen?
  

• Are you able to boot the computer to the login in screen?
  
• What is the make and model of the computer?
  

I suggest you to try refreshing the graphics driver by using the key sequence
Windows logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B and see if that helps.



I would suggest you to try booting the computer into Safe Mode and try disabling the display driver. Refer the article on
Start
your PC in safe mode in Windows 10.



After booting the computer to Safe Mode, refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Display Adapters.
   
3. Right click on the Display driver and select
   Disable device.
   
4. Restart the computer.
   

If this allows you to boot the computer to normal mode, try uninstalling the driver.
To do this, refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows logo key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Display Adapters.
   
3. Right click on the Display driver and select
   Uninstall.
   
4. Restart the computer.
   

Let us know how it goes.
