Yeah, the latest updates gray-out the “restore earlier version” tab. This is a problem with the AMD chip set in older PC’s. PCs with Intel chips set don’t have a problem. Now you’ve got to restore an earlier version of the operating system( earlier version of Win10).
Go to settings in the startup display. Click on the “Update & Security” tab, then click on “view installed update history”, then click on “recovery options”, under Go back to the previous version of Win10, click on “get started”. This will restore the previous version where the video worked OK. It will take a while. There are methods on the web for permanently blocking window update from installing new video drivers but I have not tried this yet.

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.
