    basic display adapter drivers

    To update the driver for the Basic Display Adapter in Windows 10, follow these steps:

    1. Open Device Manager: Right-click on the "Start" button and select "Device Manager" from the context menu.
    2. Locate Display Adapters: In the Device Manager window, expand the "Display adapters" section. You should see "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" listed.
    3. Right-click and Update Driver: Right-click on "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" and select "Update driver" from the dropdown menu.
    4. Choose Update Method: In the Update Drivers window, you will have two options:
      • Search automatically for updated driver software: This option will allow Windows to search online for the latest driver and install it automatically.
      • Browse my computer for driver software: If you have already downloaded the latest driver from the manufacturer's website, select this option and browse to the location where the driver is saved on your computer.
    5. Automatically Install: If you selected the first option, Windows will search for the latest driver and automatically install it if one is found.
    6. Manual Installation: If you selected the second option, browse to the location of the downloaded driver and follow the on-screen instructions to manually install it.
    7. Restart Your Computer: After the driver update is complete, it's a good idea to restart your computer to apply the changes fully.
