Windows 10: My MS display adapter stopped working after the most recent windows update

Both of my MS display adapters (two different monitors) stopped working after the most recent windows update. I have a high end Surface laptop. I asked our college technical support to work on it, they spent an hour on it without success. Fix the driver that broke this and then do a system wide update, come on guys, your operating system needs to work with your own bloody hardware.

MS Wireless Display adapter stopped 2018

Hi David,

A few possible reasons can be the cause of this problem including a recent update that introduced compatibility issues with the Wireless Display driver. In line with this, we recommend that you update or reinstall the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter driver
on your PC. Here's how:

• 
  With the Wireless Display Adapter plugged in and powered on, select the
  Start button, type Device Manager, and select it from the list of results.
  
• 
  Expand one of the categories to find the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter device, then right-click on it, and select
  Update Driver.
  
• 
  Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
  

If these steps don't work, try reinstalling the driver: Open Device Manager, right-click the name of the device, and select
Uninstall. Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.

In addition, we suggest that you run the hardware troubleshooter. This tool can help diagnose and fix hardware issues.

• Click Start.
• On the search bar, type Troubleshooting, and click on
  Troubleshooting from the results.
• Click Hardware and Sound.
• Under Device, click Hardware and Devices.

MS Wireless Display Adapter - "Driver Error"

Hi,

I cannot connect to my MS Wireless Display Adapter. Tried all the troubleshooting steps. The message in the Wireless Display Adapter App is "Driver Error".

In Device Manager:

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling ..

Running Windows 10 with the latest updates on a Surface Book with a display adapter firmware 2.0.8350

Thanks

 

MS Display Adapter

How about that - I am in a chat room with HP support and they are telling me to contact MS.....

And around and around we go...

MS Display Adapter is a MS product so it seems natural to me that MS would accommodate the people that spent their money on the adapter. The adapter worked before the latest MS update!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrr!

I mean Windows update...
