Last week's win10 update caused a problem!

Hi All,

I am running 3 monitors connected to 2 video cards with HDMI cables. After the update finished only 2 monitors were alive. Somehow the update doesn't like 3 HDMI cables, so now i have to connect one monitor with DVI. Does anyone know why this would happen?

Or how to fix it?

Hi Lennie,

The most likely thing that happened was your  Nvidia video driver was replaced by the Microsoft version of the driver. This can be easy or can be hard to fix. 

First thing I would try is downloading the driver from Nvidia and installing it. High probability it will replace the Microsoft driver and all will be good. 

See what happens with this first.

Thanks

Since the April Creator Update, Win10Pro has kept replacing my nice Nvidia driver with its own. 😠

This seems to help; I did the group policy editor option:
