Как быстро перезагрузить драйвера видеокарты в windows 7

Если кто-то все еще ищет простой ответ, то в Windows 7 это выглядит следующим образом:

1. Открыть диспетчер устройств
2. Развернуть Адаптеры дисплея
3. Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши графическую карту и выберите «Отключить».
4. Подождите, пока экран не вернется, и повторите шаг 3, включив его.

Вот и все.

Чтобы сбросить графический стек в Windows, нажмите Win+Ctrl+Shift+B.

У меня была похожая проблема в Windows 8, и я обнаружил, что просто изменение разрешения экрана и его повторное разрешение снова позволило устранить проблему.

Вы также можете попробовать:

1. Перейдите в Диспетчер устройств> Адаптеры дисплея
2. Выберите «Поиск изменений оборудования»

Если я оставляю свою машину с Win 7 на ночь на работе, разрешение падает на одном из мониторов. Изменение разрешения не работает напрямую, но использование «Сканировать на предмет изменений оборудования», похоже, помогает.

   • Type in device manager, then click Device Manager in the menu.
   • Expand the «Display adapters» heading by double-clicking it.
   • Note the manufacturer and name of the video card you want to update.

   Find the «Downloads» or «Drivers» section. In most cases, you’ll find one of these options at the top of the page, though you may instead need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and look for them under a «Support» (or similar) heading.

   • You may need to click a Support tab or link before you can select the Downloads or Drivers section.

4. 

   4

   Select your video card. Click the name of your video card when asked to select a model.

   • You may instead have to enter your video card’s name.

5. 

   5

   Look for an available update. After selecting or searching for your video card, you should see a list of possible update files. Find the most recent one and see if the date is more recent than your last Windows update.

   • If you don’t know the date of your last Windows update or Device Manager update, you can try downloading and installing the file anyway.

6. 

   6

   Download an update. If there is an available update, click its link or click Download (or similar) near the update’s name to download it onto your computer.

   • You may have to confirm the download by selecting a save location or by clicking OK.
   • In rare cases, some web browsers will mark driver update files as potentially malicious or indicate that similar files can harm your computer. As long as you are downloading the files directly from the manufacturer’s website, you can ignore these warnings.

7. 

   7

   Install the drivers. Go to the location of the downloaded update file and double-click it, then follow any on-screen prompts to install the drivers.

   • If the drivers’ file downloaded in a ZIP folder, you’ll need to extract the folder by right-clicking it and clicking Extract Here…. You can then open the extracted folder and double-click the drivers’ file.

   Understand when to use this method. If your computer has a dedicated (e.g., aftermarket or additional) video card installed, the video card most likely has its own software installed as well. This software usually provides the option to update the video card’s drivers automatically.

   • If you already tried using Device Manager to no avail, using your video card’s software is a good next step.
