This a problem with the AMD chip set in older PCs. It does not occur with the Intel chip set. The latest updates gray-out the “restore to earlier version”, so this doesn’t work. Now you have to restore an earlier version of the operating system. Go to settings in the startup tab. click on “update & security”, then click on “view installed update history”, then click on “recovery options”, then click on “ get started” under the go back to the previous version of Win10. It will take a while but you’ll get back to the earlier version that worked. There are some options on the web to permanently block windows update from messing with the video drivers but I haven’t tried that yet. Just live with the earlier version of Win10.

Computer video is hosed again!
Well, I did it again! I let Windows do an update BEFORE the contest (I knew it was a bad idea) and now it once again does not recognize my video card and has reduced the resolution and will not span across two monitors. Last time this happened, K5LJ suggested I roll back the video driver and that worked, but this time the option to do that is grayed out. Surely, someone know how to fix this for me. The computer is an older HP running WIN 10 (upgraded for WIN 7) with an AMD chipset and an ATI Radeon HD 4200 video card. I have a new computer purchased, but it’s still in the box…. There must be a way! If you have the answer, call, email or text me! BTW, the ARRL 10 Meter contest conditions suck, but there are occasional contacts to be made. Allen R.
