"Your PC can't project to another screen" error.

[ascendant]

Ok, installed Windows 10 on a laptop and now it won't let me switch the monitor over to the HDMI connected monitor. It was working fine until the upgrade. I've tried two different monitors and nothing. I keep getting the error saying "Your PC can't project to another screen," and it tells me to reinstall the driver.

I've tried uninstalling the driver, rebooting, etc., yet every time it installs the driver again (Intel(R) HD Graphics), I keep getting the same error. When looking at the driver in "Device Manager," it states that Windows stopped the device because it has reported problems, but I don't see any way to fix these issues.

The driver info is:
Driver #: 10.18.10.4276
Driver Date: 8/17/15

I'm at a loss as to what to do here. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

I have a feeling the issue is doing an upgrade instead of a fresh install, but I don't want to back everything up, wipe the drive, and reinstall again if I can avoid it with an easier fix.

I suspect it's just poor driver support under Windows 10 for Intel iGPUs. This user has other graphical issues due to poor drivers.

Good to know, thanks. This at least saves me from wasting the time reinstalling.

So then the only options at this point seem to be either roll back to Windows 8 or wait for Windows to roll out drivers for Intel HD graphics I suppose?

That's what I would do (Win8.1).
