Windows patches affecting graphics drivers
You're experiencing display driver problems on your laptop, causing freezing and unresponsive screen. You've already tried safe mode, driver cleanup, Windows updates, and even downloading a specific Intel driver, but the issue persists. Here are some steps you can consider:
- Check for hardware compatibility: Ensure your graphics card supports the latest drivers.
- Run a system file check: Use tools like DISM and SFC to scan for corrupted system files.
- Update BIOS/UEFI settings: Sometimes firmware updates resolve display issues.
- Test with another GPU: If possible, connect a different graphics card to see if the problem is card-specific.
- Consider hardware replacement: If the issue continues despite driver fixes, the GPU might be faulty.
- Seek professional help: If none of these work, consult a technician for further diagnosis.
I don’t have a specific laptop, but I can help you figure out if the display driver might be the issue. Check your system logs, recent updates, or any error messages related to graphics performance. If the problem appears only with certain applications or under specific conditions, that could point to the display driver.
