Device Manager: uninstall Generic PnP Monitor - lose monitor access?
My HP ProBook 450 G3 laptop with Windows 10 Pro has for some reason lost the drivers for the internal laptop display. When I go to Device Manager-Display, I can only see "Generic PnP Monitor". I have used the laptop for 2.5 years and think that this happened recently (from a Windows 10 update?). I have found advice in various forums to uninstall the Generic PnP Monitor and that Windows will find the correct drivers for the display on reboot (or to download the drivers from HP website).
My question is this: If I uninstall the Generic PnP Monitor by clicking Uninstall in the Device Manager, is there ANY risk that the computer won't recognize the internal display - and that I will be unable to use the computer?
How is this done: uninstall, reboot, install (or another sequence)? If/when should I install display drivers from HP's website?
