    New install W10 21H1 Monitor drivers


    I have just done a fresh install to 21H1 and I have a Samsung and an LG monitor. Now when I go to Advanced Display settings, the system identifies the Samsung and LG monitor correctly.When I do new installs I always check device manager, now device manager shows generic pnp monitor drivers as installed by Microsoft. Everything works OK, but should I change these for the correct drivers - a few years old - or should I just leave it.

    Usually, if its working "don't fix it". If the vendors have compatible drivers install them if needed.

    I have a Dell monitor and it works the same with or without the Dell driver.

    I always install the monitor "drivers", which aren't drivers: the main element is a .inf file that identifies the monitor to Windows.

    That may not be needed if the correct monitor settings (resolution, refresh rate, etc.) are available in the display adapter settings.
