How to force use of default, VGA graphics
I have some faint reason to suspect that the Nvidia graphics adapter is
preventing the latest feature update from succeeding. I have read before about how to disable it so the system defaults to use the native gpu but can't find it. How do I do it? |

I have read before about how to disable it so the system defaults to use the native gpu but can't find it. How do I do it? catalog.update.microsoft.com has the Patch Tuesday Cumulatives. If you suspected a security patch was not downloading for the wrong reason, you can install the .msu file you download by double-clicking it. Cumulatives are around a 700MB download. Similarly, if Windows Update won't offer an OS Upgrade (from say 17134 to 17763), then you can download the DVD and do it from there. While Win10 is running, insert the DVD, and execute "setup.exe" off the 17763 Win10 DVD. That will kick off an install. It will not try to queue up drivers, and if you had an FX5200 video card (no driver available), the Win10 install will boot up running the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter (VESA frame buffer) driver. A notification box will pop up saying "searching for video driver" or similar, but of course, nothing will happen because there isn't a driver. And the box could run forever with only MBDA. The box would be no good for a 3D gamer (the games wouldn't work). The box would be fine for email. Note that the download page for the Win10 ISO, is not currently offering 17763, but might still be offering the 17134 DVD. Make absolutely certain, as of today, what you're downloading, so you won't be downloading 4.5GB of unusable materials. ******* If you must have 17763 right fricken now, you can try Heidoc and see if it can generate a link. https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/techno...-download-tool Download: Windows ISO Downloader.exe Version: 7.10 Release Date: 1 October 2018 Requirements: Windows 7 or newer, .NET Framework 4.x, Internet Explorer 8 or newer. https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/59...1474/detection The program may have a coin miner in it, but it will prompt and ask you if it can run (coin miner) while you use the program. The program only need be run long enough to generate a Win10 URL, "Copy to Clipboard", paste to Notepad, for each URL wanted, then you can quit the program and use a regular browser to download your Win10 DVD. You don't have to use any built-in download capability in the above program itself. And Heidoc does have a reference to 17763 October Upgrade. I was able to generate URLs. These would be links to the dangerous version, that deletes orphan directories that used to be pointed to by Junction Points. I didn't have a problem when I installed with that, but... YMMV. Have fun, Paul |

Sounds like you are asking how to reconfigure the BIOS to use the onboard video rather than the video adapter. Look in the BIOS settings. Since you did not give any specifics about brand and model of your computer or its motherboard, only you can look up that info. You could just hunt around in the BIOS settings to see which one enables/disables the onboard video. |
