Monitor drivers in Windows 10 are usually installed automatically when you connect a new monitor to your computer. However, if the driver does not install automatically or you encounter any issues with your monitor, you may need to manually install or update the drivers. In this case, you can follow the steps below to install monitor drivers in Windows 10 using the Device Manager.
1. Right-click the Start button: To open the Device Manager, right-click on the Start button located at the bottom left corner of the screen. This will open a context menu with various options.
2. Select Device Manager: In the context menu, select the “Device Manager” option. Alternatively, you can also search for “device manager” in the search box next to the Start button, and then click on the “Device Manager” in the search results.
3. Locate the monitor category: In the Device Manager window, you will see a list of hardware categories. Look for the category named “Monitors” and click on the small arrow next to it to expand the category.
4. Right-click on the monitor: Once you have expanded the “Monitors” category, you should see the name of your monitor listed. Right-click on the name of your monitor and select “Update driver” from the context menu.
5. Choose driver installation method: In the “Update Drivers” window, you will be presented with two options. The first option is to let Windows automatically search for updated driver software, while the second option is to browse your computer for driver software.
– If you have an internet connection, it is recommended to select the first option and let Windows search for the latest driver online. This will ensure that you have the most up-to-date driver for your monitor.
– If you have already downloaded the driver from the manufacturer’s website or have it saved on your computer, you can choose the second option and browse for the driver manually.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions: Depending on the option you selected in the previous step, Windows will either search for the driver online or prompt you to browse for the driver. If Windows finds an updated driver, it will begin the installation process automatically. If you are manually browsing for the driver, locate the driver file on your computer and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
7. Restart your computer: After the driver installation is complete, it is recommended to restart your computer to ensure that the changes take effect.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully install or update monitor drivers in Windows 10 using the Device Manager. Keep in mind that some monitors may require additional software or drivers provided by the manufacturer, so it is always a good idea to check the manufacturer’s website for any specific driver requirements or instructions.
