No Display after Microsoft Basic Display Adapter

Hi,

As you are facing issues with changing the brightness on your device, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

Provide us additional information to assist you better:

• What is the make and model of your computer?
• What exactly happens when you try to change the brightness on your device?

Make sure that you are able to access the display on your device to follow the below troubleshooting step.

I suggest you to download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website, place the computer in Safe mode with Networking, uninstall the existing drivers, re-install the new drivers manually and check if it helps.

Step 1: Boot the device to Safe mode and uninstall the existing drivers and restart the computer.

Refer: Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10


Step 2: Steps to Uninstall the Display Adapter driver.

• Press Windows key + X key when you are at desktop.
• Select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapter.
• Right click on the Display Adapter and click on
  Uninstall.

Refer to the article by Ander Da Costa on
How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows
10, try to install the drivers in compatibility mode.

place the computer in normal mode.

No Display after Microsoft Basic Display Adapter

I could not adjust the brightness of my monitor using Windows 10. I found a website (How to fix Windows 10 brightness control not working issue) which suggested that I change my display's driver to Microsoft Basic Display
Adapter. However, as soon as I accepted that option, both of my screens went black and now they will not show a display. The lights on the front of both are flashing, so I know they're on. I've also never had a problem with either screen before. I've tried
disconnecting the screens, reconnecting only one, and resetting my computer, but no luck.
