    Step 2: Once the Device Manager is opened, expand Display Adapters, right-click on your on-board or dedicated graphics card entry, and then click Update Driver Software. This will open Update Software Wizard.

    Step 3: Click the first option named Search automatically for updated driver software to let Windows 10 automatically search for driver updates and install the same, if available.

    Once installed, you will see “Windows has successfully updated your driver software” message. If updates are not available, you will see “No updates were found” message.

    Please note that updating to the newest version of the display driver might not fix the issue in some cases. In other words, you might see the error even when you are running the latest version of the display driver. If updating the driver didn’t help,
    please try the following solutions.

    (Display driver failed to start; using Microsoft Basic Display Driver instead. Check Windows Update for a newer display driver.)

    That's what keeps popping in my notifications. I did try updating it but nothing happens.

    My pc is Acer Aspire E 15

    I did the update last May 29, 2018, and this happens

    Display driver failed to start

    I have Windows 10 home and running programs on IE 11. All begins fine for several hours. About midday my system crashes to safe mode and message appears that "Display driver failed to start: Using Microsoft basic display driver instead. Check windows update
    for a newer display driver."

    I do this under settings but it shows my system is up to date. Where can I get a newer display driver if this is the issue?
