Restoring MIcrosoft Basic Display Adapter
I deleted the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter and its drivers by mistake while doing a hardware upgrade. Is there an easy way to restore them? Reinstalling the OS would surely fix the problem... but would like to do that later when all else fail. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

Is there a System Restore point from before the mistake happened ? A second possibility, is open Device Manager and see if there is an option to "roll back" the driver. Driver roll back is one level deep. You can put back the previous driver, before you made a change. That's all that comes to mind, short of using a backup you made of the OS C: partition at some point. For example, I made one backup of C: already, before doing some experiments, so I occasionally have something sitting there which can be used. ******* When you delete files in System32, they also exist in WinSXS. The OS hard-links files from WinSXS into System32. When you delete a file from System32, it isn't really gone. All you've done is erase the 1KB $MFT entry, not the actual clusters. The OS has two levels of repair. This one should repair System32, using resources from the driver cache or from WinSXS. This puts info into a .log file as well, as to what was repaired. You can run this from an Administrator Command Prompt (available in the right-click of Start Menu, unless you're using the Insider Edition). sfc /scannow The other kind of repair, is to WinSXS. It's done using DISM and a network connection to the Microsoft server. Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /CheckHealth - This switch option only checks to see if a component corruption marker is already present in the registry. It is just a quick way to see if corruption currently exists, and to inform you if there is corruption. It does not fix anything or create a log. This should be finished almost instantaneous. /ScanHealth - This switch option does not fix any corruption. It only checks for component store corruption and records that corruption to the log file. This is useful for only logging what, if any, corruption exists. This should take around 5-10 minutes to finish. /RestoreHealth - This switch option checks for component store corruption, records the corruption to the log file, and FIXES the image corruption using Windows Update. This should take around 10-15 minutes up to a few hours to finish depending on the level of corruption. Paul |

In Device Manager, did you try Action : Scan for hardware changes ? You really shouldn't be able to lose the display. ******* Have you done a reboot yet ? The hardware should be rediscovered on a reboot, in the same way as the "scan for hardware changes" works. Please try to provide details about how you got to the current situation. Did you select "uninstall" while the Display adapter was open in Device Manager ? If so, the hardware will be rediscovered on the next scan for changes. Paul |

Display - Basic Adapter still didn't show up again in Device Manager. However, the display is still working. Motherboard is J3455M. OS is Win Server 2012 R2. -- @~@ Remain silent!

I went ahead and reinstalled the OS. The Display section was again gone after a few reboots. NO display adapter in the end. ;) The Asrock J3455M got Intel HD 500 as display. -- @~@ Remain silent!

I can find examples of other Win10 users with the same problem. It seems the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter is present by behavior (resolution stuck), but there is no entry in Device Manager. A trip to Windows Update is supposed to fix it. Unless you've already disabled Windows Update hardware driver updates. I've done installs before (in a VM), where a notification box appears saying the OS is "searching for a graphics driver", or words to that effect. Maybe your install is in the same state, and is looking for the real driver. ******* Downloadcenter has a driver for your graphics. The Asrock download page has a driver file too, from the same series. 2/3/2017 ~240MB Win7/8.1/10 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/dow...Windows-15-45- The graphics\igdlh64.inf file has some labels: iSKLULTGT1 = "Intel(R) HD Graphics 510" However, your processor is Goldmont, and I don't see a specific entry for that. It really shouldn't matter about the core, if the GPU block is just copied from another chip. Your graphics are supposed to be GT1 with 12 execution units. ******* A command like this is supposed to display the details (in an Administrator command prompt). I don't have any Intel graphics here to test with, to see what it would show. wmic PATH Win32_VideoController GET Description,PNPDeviceID /Format:List Paul |

For curiosity, I tried installed Windows 10 to this Asrock J3455M without a product key. The Basic Display Adapter didn't disappear. So it seemed the problem was limited to Win Server 2012 R2. -- @~@ Remain silent! Drink, Blink, Stretch!

What is the VEN and DEV of the graphics ? (If the Basic Display Adapter will not show up, you could try Everest or you could boot up a Linux DVD and lspci/lshw/inxi from there.) You may need to start Googling the VEN and DEV when searching for a driver, to narrow it down. ******* There are other possibilities. For a Basic Display Adapter, normally the BIOS would have a VESA declaration for the built-in processor graphics. But on a UEFI BIOS, it's also possible for the maker to include a GOP declaration. From a Linux thread "Ahh, yes, this is because gop doesn't set a vesa mode and let you play with the flat frame buffer. You actually make gop calls to perform the IO for you. Grub can leave the display in that state when passing off to the kernel, but the kernel has to have its own KMS video driver to take over; it can't just start poking at a frame buffer like it can with VESA." Now, I don't know if that's your issue or not, or at what point GOP became available. A while back, you could flash a video card from a VESA config ROM, to a GOP config ROM, but it wasn't clear at the time, what purpose this served. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unifie..._Interface#GOP "In addition, the Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) provides limited runtime services support. The operating system is permitted to directly write to the framebuffer provided by GOP during runtime mode. However, the ability to change video modes is lost after transitioning to runtime services mode until the OS graphics driver is loaded." Paul |

Maybe by then Intel HD 500 would have proper if not official drivers for Win Server 2012 R2. I tried the .INF hack, didn't work. I really suspected the disappearance of the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" in Device Manager affected the installation process. I had another idea: 1. Insert a PCIe display card to Asrock J3345 2. Install the driver of the PCIe display card 3. Install the driver of Intel HD 500 driver 4. Remove the PCIe display card 5. Reboot and see whether Intel HD 500 would show up in Device Manager Not in the mood to attempt this procedure now that I had Win 10 installed and working ... :) -- @~@ Remain silent!
