Windows 10: My screen is cut in half. Please advise.

My desktop only shows 1/2 of the screen.

Half Screen

Hi Emmanuel,

I'd like to get more information regarding this so we could further check and provide a more established workaround.

Please confirm the following details so we can verify if this has something to do with hardware or if it's with the driver software.

When you stated: " My laptop keeps on half screening if I sleep—"

—does this mean that this only happens when your computer enters sleep mode, and it goes away when you're using your laptop?

If the half screen is a permanent issue, you'd need to isolate this case if it has something to do with the actual graphics card. Connect an external monitor to see if it would be the same.

If you don't get the same (half) screen on the external monitor, then it only means that your graphics card is all good.

I've read some reports about this issue. It was advised that this happens when the ribbon cable that connects the LCD to a connector on the motherboard fails.

Before you contact your local technician, I suggest that you try to update the display adapter driver and see if the same thing happens.

Visit the device manufacturer's support site of your graphics card and download the latest driver updates.

If updating the driver didn't sort it, you'd then need to manually uninstall the current driver, then allow Windows to reinstall a generic driver. To do this, follow these steps advised in this support article:

Update drivers in Windows 10

Please post back your update so I'd know if you still need help.

Regards.
