Re: restoring the correct video driver after MS update reset to default VGA driver

Have you tried to "roll back" the driver in Device manager?

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to determine what video
adapter driver was installed after windows reset the driver to a
default VGA driver. We were able to determine it was a nvidia 440MX
and I installed the driver although there were a bunch to choose from,
some were nvidia and some were Microsoft. However one of his graphics
programs is not displaying his drawings correctly.

I am helping out a friend remotely who contacted me after he was
having problems with the video on his computer. He said he started
having problems after his MS automatic updates ran. I tried to going
to a previous day's restore point but it did not work. I am going to
try turning off my AV since some post suggested that could be a
problem.

But is there some kind of log or history that might list the previous
driver I was using.

thanks, David
