My laptop display suddenly starts to malfunction, i checked the settings app, but the preferred resolution option and the ability to use multiple monitors, and the adapter type is Changed.
I Checked the Device Manager, but found the default display driver was now changed to Microsoft Basic Display driver.
I don't know what went wrong, but when i checked i found all these problems occurred after installing the Windows update in Windows 10.
I tried to re-install the driver but that went in vain. So, i started checking Online, to find whether the problem is only for me, or whether users had faced the same issue.
I Suspect i can't be the only one, so if you face the issue, you can use the method below to Correct it.
Update on December 20,2017:
It seems more number of users is experiencing the same issue, because when i checked Microsoft forums, i found one user asked the same question like mine.
