mr_aryalcode444 Hi, thanks for the reply. I have two display adapters - AMD and Nvidia. I believe the Nvidia card in the one used for gaming. Which one should I delete? Or should I delete them both?

RickyGeeDee123 , Yes Both, please do it, it won't affected anything. It will just be uninstalled the currented driver and your pc will black out to installed current version driver. This way it will troubleshoot problem.
Please don't hesitated to ask problem. Thankyou
