Windows 10 searching for display driver

[SimmyZ]

After installing Windows 10 it's stuck on Searching For Display Driver. Installation look fine till it restarted, intro screen came up, but in the bottom right corner, every 60 sec. a box would flash saying, Searching for display driver. I can't get past this screen. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi:

If you can get to the desktop/device manager I would try manually installing the W7 Nvidia graphics driver from your notebook's support page as follows...

Download and run this file.

This package provides the video driver for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M or 320M Video Chip in the supported notebook models and operating systems.

File name: sp54929.exe

Go to the device manager and click to expand the Display Adapters device category.

If the graphics driver is not installed, you will see a Microsoft Basic Display Adapter listed there.

Click on that, and then click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.  Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.

Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and see if the driver installs that way.

Then reboot.

If that doesn't work, we will try a more advanced way to manually install the driver.

I can't get past the start up screen for windows 10.

Make the W10 repair/installation disk and see if you can repair the installation so you can try and install the graphics driver.

When you boot from the DVD, when it gets to the Install Now window, there is a repair option on the lower left side of the screen.

FYI Read the first part of my Signature and that will tell you that your system has No Official HP driver support for Win10.

Before I could read your reply. I pulled the battery and the plug on the notebook. When I restarted it took me into prompt mode. I selected to create a backup disk and run a system restore. The notebook restarted and is working fine for now with windows 10. I'll be looking for driver updates next and hope I don't have any further problems down the road. I'll be back if I do.  Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks for all your help.

You're very welcome.

Glad you got it to work again.

If you run into any graphics difficulties again, use the W7 graphics driver from your notebook's support page.

I have had to do that with 4 of my HP business notebooks, and they all work fine on W10.

3 of them have older Intel chipsets than yours does. 

One only has driver support for Vista.  I used the Vista drivers and they worked fine.

the HP nc6400 and 6910p notebook's I have can run Windows 2000 and every other windows operating system in between up to and including W10.

Talk about versatility!
