Many windows users have reported that they experienced a video controller driver issue after performing a Windows 10 update.

Are you facing the same problem? If yes, you’ll likely see a yellow exclamation mark beside Video Controller in the Device Manager window.

Solution 1 – Reinstall Video Controller Driver

First uninstall this driver and then let Windows automatically load it on restart. Here are the steps to follow.

• Press Windows logo key + R together to bring up the Run command
• In Run command, type devmgmt.msc and click OK
• In the Device Manager, right click Video Controller and then click Uninstall
• Check the box that appears in the Confirm Device Uninstall window and then click the OK button

In case Windows fails to do that, move to the next solution.

Solution 2 – Update Video Controller driver

You can update the said driver manually if you want. However, this process is time-consuming and requires a certain amount of technical knowledge. An easier, not to mention faster, method is to use an advanced driver update tool.

We have discussed both the methods, so you can decide for yourself which one is better for you.

Update driver manually

Go to the video card manufacturer’s website or your PC or laptop manufacturer’s site and locate and download the latest video controller driver for Windows 10. Make sure the driver you select is compatible with your operating system. That is, 32-bit Windows 10 users should download the driver meant for 32-bit Windows 10, not 64-bit. Download save the file in a suitable location.

Next, perform these steps:

• Press Windows logo key + R together to bring up the Run command
• In Run command, type devmgmt.msc and click OK
• In the Device Manager, right click Video Controller and then click Update Driver Software
• Now select Browse my computer for driver software
• In the next window, click the Browse button, navigate to the location where you’ve saved the driver file and select it.
• Click Next and follow onscreen instructions
• Restart Windows
