Windows 10: Error while starting the display driver,Win10?

Hi folks!

I'm getting a lot of still images lately, the sound keeps going (music, discord, etc.), but then I get this standard Windows notification sound and when I restart the PC I see this notification:

Error when starting the display driver,

The Microsoft Basic Display Driver is used instead. Check Windows Update for a newer display driver.

Please help!
