Windows 10: Microsoft basic display driver on update to Windows 10

Hallo

A few weeks ago I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I have a Flatron E2351 monitor, which opens with a logo LG, "Life's good". But windows 10 opens it with a 6 cm black margin on the left and on the right. It worked fine when I was on indows 7. Following the instructions in the Dsiplay Driver box I updated it. Windows assures me it has successfully updated, but the black margins are still there.

Windows' alternative suggestion was to obtain a driver from the manufacturer's website. I searched around, bearing in mind the monitor is quite old and possibly obsolete. The only link I found was one that got a pop-up warning, white on red, saying "this site is dangerous and may harm your computer". I hastily hit the "return to safety" button.

So I'm no further forward.

One thing: When I boot or reboot, that white on black sequence that tells me data like BIOS found and in operation, and then disappears, being replaced by the blue screen and the picture of an oyster-catcher. This white on black sequence extends righ across the screen.

So: 1 Is there a simple answer ?

2. Would it resolve with a new monitor?

3. Would it resolve with a new PC? This one is quite old.

Microsoft Basic Display Driver???

Just an update, Microsoft has removed the driver from the update servers so uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers should work now.

Remove AMD drivers:

Your display driver should now be switched to Microsoft basic adapter.

Restart and Check for Windows updates or Click update driver now for Microsoft basic display adapter in Device Manager.

 

The graphics driver shows as “Microsoft Basic Display Adapter” after upgrading to Windows 10

Hi,

With regard to your query, your Display Adapter is listed as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter instead of the correct driver name. If you have recently update your display card driver, and this problem comes along, what we can try to do here is to roll the
display adapter's driver back to it's previous version.

Please follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adapter's category, and right-click Microsoft Basic Display Adapter, select
  Properties.
• Under Driver tab, choose Roll Back
  Driver.

If rolling back the driver is unavailable, update the display driver manually.

• In Device Manager, expand Display
  adapter's category and right-click Microsoft Basic
  Display Adapter, and select Properties.
• Under Driver tab, choose Update Driver.
• Select Browser my computer for driver software.
• Click the Browse button, then navigate to the folder where you place the downloaded display card driver setup file.
• Reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

Let us know the result.

 

Microsoft Basic Display Driver Urgent

As you should be aware Intel just recently announced on twitter (search gma3600) that there will be no windows 10 drivers for the gma 3600 video cards. Now as default windows loads the Microsoft Basic Display Driver which works really well but limits the
screen to 800x600 max. The system i'm using is a 1025c asus n2800 netbook with a 1024x600 screen. I've seen other users on here referencing that the Microsoft Basic Display Driver works at 1024x768 and above but seems fixed on 4:3 aspect ratio selections.
These observations suggest to me that the driver can happily go above 800x600 but 1024x600 is just an unsupported resolution for the Microsoft Basic Display Driver. Which brings me finally to my request.

Could you please add 1024x600 to the Microsoft Basic Display Driver as a valid selectable resolution so everyone who uses a 1024x600 screen with a gma3600 can run windows 10?

Thanks

Addendum:

After some testing trying to load multiple windows 7 gma3600 drivers all of them result in a bsod or the drivers just do not load. Please microsoft 15 people so far have voted this question up. This Microsoft Basic Display Driver tweak is the only option
for gma36XX users and there will be lots more out there. If you want windows 10 adoption things like this are deal breakers.
