Windows 10: Graphics driver outdated for Minecraft, but my graphics card is up to date

As the title says, I keep on getting this error whenever I boot up Minecraft Windows 10 edition, even though my graphics driver is up to date. I've done research on this, and many people seem to be having this problem. I read a forum about it and some people said its because anything below the NVIDIA RTX 2060 doesn't have a dedicated hardware for Minecraft anymore. Im using the Intel HD Graphics 5500, so does that mean that my graphics driver is below the NVIDIA RTX 2060, or is that only for the RTX drivers and not the Intel ones? As you can tell, i really don't quite know what I'm saying here, because I'm confused on what any of these graphics driver things even are but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

:)

 

I can't play minecraft. My graphics card is up to date.

Hi Brianna,

To understand the issue better, I would like to ask some questions:

• Do you have Minecraft Classic installed?
• What is the error message you get when you press play?
• Did you download this game from the Store or do you have a disc for this game?

As you are facing issue even after updating the graphic card, I suggest you to install the Graphic card driver in compatibility mode by following the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Download the setup files for the driver from the manufacturer website and save it on your local disk.
• Right click on the setup file of the driver and select
  “Properties”.
• Select “Compatibility” Tab.
• Place a check mark next to“Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select operating system (Windows 7/8/8.1) from the drop down list.
• Let the driver install and then check thefunctionality.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

Thank you.

graphics card problems

Hi,

Your computer makes a noise or beeps from your internal speaker because it failed to detect the graphics card. What we can suggest is for you to try cleaning your graphics card with a pencil eraser. Here are the steps below:

• Turn your computer off.
• Pull out your video/graphics card.
• Rubbed the cold contacts with soft pencil eraser.
• Connect your video/graphics card back to the computer.

Kindly note that this is just a temporary fix. If the case still continues, I suggest that you contact your graphics card's manufacturer.

Let us know how it goes.
