  1. I am having a fault with my basic display adapter


    I woke up today from playing and working on the computer yesterday all fine and dandy, then my HDMI port would not display. I did all to physical hardware checks all are not having issues. I have checked the Device Manager and it shows that the Basic Display Adapter is in a Code 31. I updated all my drivers that where available to update and the new windows update and nothing changed! I would appreciate any help regarding this! I am semi knowledgeable on this but definitely need help learning more.

    :)

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    • Select Device Manager.

    • 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.

    Step 3: Follow the below steps to
    place the computer in normal mode.

    • Press Windows + R keys to open
      Run command.
    • Type msconfig and press
      Enter.
    • In the System Configuration window, click on
      General tab.
    • Select Start-up selection as
      Normal startup, click on Apply
      and Ok.
