When I changed to a wide-screen monitor, I went looking for the most basic card and I found the GeForce GT710, which I now use in two desktop PCs. However, NVIDIA drivers seem to be imposed on...
Have you tried removing the graphics card and connecting your monitor to the onboard graphics output? Rebooting in Safe Mode should then allow you to remove the NVIDIA driver. You should also modify...
It's not the card that's blocking you; it's the NVIDIA driver. I have a Dell Dimension 3100 on Windows 10 1803 with the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter and it runs fine, although a bit slow. If I try...
Thanks for that information. I'm at least pleased to hear that it's a known issue. In fact, I never had 1809; I updated directly from 1803 to 1903, not that it makes any difference.
A few days ago, I updated both my laptop and desktop machines. The laptop was done with Windows Update Assistant and took about 3 hours. So far, it seems like a faultless update.
However the desktop...
Aha! That clarifies everything. Thanks for your input.
Everything is working fine. I just wondered why those symbols are there and they looked like yellow triangles to me. They are very small.
Thanks anyway.
I realise that I am defying the odds by challenging an ancient motherboard. I just reached the point where the NVIDIA drivers are a step too far for an aging CPU. Fortunately, the MS driver does...
In another thread, I showed a screenshot of my Device Manager with yeoow triangles against the Display Adapter and the Storage Controllers:

Just to tail-end this story - I gave up on NVIDIA drivers and reverted permanently to the MS driver. I also enabled the Group Policy item 'Do not include drivers with Windows Update'. The GT710 card...
Just to add a further observation:
This does not happen with the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.
New discovery:
After again removing the VGA cable and attempting to go into Safe Mode, on clicking the restart button, the screen immediately goes black. I waited five minutes, just in case there...
1. I only needed Safe Mode briefly to check performance issues.
2. The onboard graphics driver has disappeared completely and I did not remove it. The drivers list only shows the GT710 driver and...
Before I installed the GT710 card, I was using a VGA cable from the motherboard to the monitor and was using 1920x1080i resolution. However, the onboard graphics have become unstable so I decided to...
Well, this is weird (to my mind). All I did was to connect the VGA cable from the monitor to the graphics card, in parallel with the HDMi cable. Suddenly, the HDMi port outputs an image in Safe Mode....
Hi Helmut. Thanks for the clarification. The monitor is an LG 22MP57; a 22 inch screen with native resolution of 1920x1080. The NVIDIA install process removes the driver for the onboard graphics.
Hi Plankton. Yes, that's what the card install instructions told me to do. I also removed the VGA cable. I'm a novice in this field so not sure what to do. I did conclude that the HDMi driver is...
Thanks forthe suggestion but I had already done that and it made no difference. Since then, I also discovered that the NVIDIA driver is disabled in Safe Mode so I get a black screen. Maybe that's a...
I installed a Gainward 3576 (GT710) card today and allowed the accompanying CD to do its stuff. The main reason for installing the card was to get away from the onboard graphics chipset (Intel...
Situation resolved. I managed to find and download the latest driver (Windows 7). It installed perfectly and my screen resolution is back to 1920x1080. Disturbing though, that selecting the MS Basic...
I have been progressively and successfully updating my Asus P5KPL-CM motherboard over the last five years and now have the latest Windows 10 1803 running perfectly. However, I seem to have made a...
Thanks for your suggestions AddRAM. I suppose I'm getting lazy in my old age. Windows Update is just an easy solution. I can't say I had enough time to thoroughly assess 1803 but it always seems...
When I received the upgrade to 1803, everything seemed fine for a couple of days but then I needed to scan a document and found that I could not communicate with my Epson printer/scanner. To cut a...
I too would have given up if I had known how. I tried disabling Windows Update service and I tried various group policies that should have done the trick but no; Windows Update seems to have the...
This problem is mentioned so widely on various forums that there has to be a common thread somewhere. For me, I was reminded of a similar situation, a couple of years ago, when I installed a...
