Windows 10: Display Driver Not Working - Basic Windows 10 Driver Works, But Keeps Updating

My older Lenovo desktop system H50 display driver is causing issues, so I rolled back to the default/basic Windows Display driver - which fixes the issue.


But...Windows keeps updating it. How can I get Windows to not update this driver?

Display Driver keeps crashing than recovering

Hello Lego,



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



I understand the inconvenience that you are unable to play the game as computer prompts with error “Display Drivers have stopped responding and have recovered” and screen freezes, we will help you to resolve this issue.



Please follow the below troubleshooting steps and check:

Step 1: Update/Install the Display Adapter driver.

If the issue still persists, I suggest you to install/update the Display Adapter driver.

Steps to install the drivers for the Display Adapter.

• 
  Press Windows + R keys from the keyboard to open
  Run command.
  
• 
  In Run window type devmgmt.msc.
  
• 
  Then in device manager right click on Display Adapter.
  
• 
  Try to update the drivers from the option stating automatically update the drivers.
  
• 
  If it works fine otherwise try to search for the drivers with the help of model number of your computer from the Manufacturer’s website.
  

Step 2: If that does not fix the issue, please reinstall the display adapter drivers.

• 
  Right click on the Start button from the desktop and select
  Device Manager.
  
• 
  Locate and expand Display adapter.
  
• 
  Right-click on the Display adapter that is listed and click “Uninstall”.
  
• 
  And restart the computer.
  

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

 

Windows update reverted display to MS Basic Display Driver

I'm running Windows 10 with a ATI Radeon HD 4800 series video card. Everything was working fine with my display until a recent update which caused my computer to start using the Microsoft Basic Display Driver. In Device Manager the Computer is still showing
the correct video card. But when I go into my Display Settings and select Display Adapter properties, it shows that my monitor is using the MS Basic Display Driver (this doesn't even show up in Device Manager). Now I am stuck with low resolution settings for
my large monitor. I cannot make the computer use the correct video card.

I've already tried all the basics:

• Downloaded and installed latest drivers from video card vendor and monitor
• Uninstalled and completely removed the video card and monitor
• Rebooted the machine

Still no luck to fixing. Suggestions? It has been working since my first day with Windows 10 until the last update.

 

Windows update reverted display to MS Basic Display Driver

I just wanted to thank you! This is the only thing to have worked after several nights trawling the online help. My screen resolution is now back to normal after last week's Windows 10 update. I had tried so many "fixes" and this was the only one to have
worked and was so easy to do! Now my photos look normal again and not horribly stretched! Thanks a million1
