ASUS vh236 MONITOR DRIVER-ASUS Windows 10 32 bit

[bankswe]

The Generic windows 10 driver does not work with my monitor an ASUS VH 236/232/202 based monitor. Can not find workable driver?

All monitors are plug-and-play, the absence of a monitor driver should not affect monitor functionality at all, indeed thousands of Windows users don't even bother with monitor manufacturer's driver, they just leave the default generic driver.

And many monitors don't even have a manufacturer's driver available, as they aren't required for the monitor to work properly.

Explain what you mean by "generic driver doesn't work".

If there is a driver for that monitor, it will be on Acer's support page for that model:
http://www.asus.com/ae-en/Commercial-Monitors/VH236H/HelpDesk_Download/

It seems they only have the "MultiFrame" software which is for split-screen, multi-window management.
It's not a monitor driver, they don't seem to have released one for that model.

You are right it is the Microsoft provided PnP default driver or interface, not sure which is correct. The strange thing is that says it is working properly but will not let me make any screen resolution adjustment---that is I can alter the settings in any way? ASUS has no support for this monitor and Windows 10.

"but will not let me make any screen resolution adjustment"

You have mis-identified the nature of the problem in that case.

It's not the monitor driver you need, it's the manufacturer's graphics driver that needs installing as currently the GPU is using the default Microsoft VGA driver which supports only a limited number of resolutions & colour depths.

Thanks and the problem is that Intel graphics media driver is not updated to support windows 10. I did find a possible solution when checking which is:
Use regedit and go to the below key.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\OSUpgrade]
It should exist, but if not, create it.
Create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value with Name = AllowOSUpgrade
and set the Value to 1 ( or hexadecimal value 0x00000001).
Once you did, open the desktop Control Panel, go to Windows Update and check for updates. You should now be able upgrade to Windows 10 using normal windows update.
You must use desktop Control Panel windows update, and not the modern Windows Update UI.

I think maybe I could install a cheap video card that works with windows 10 as an alternative?

Well it seems to me that if the graphics driver hasn't been updated for Windows 10, you won't get a Windows 10 driver for the Intel GPU whichever way you go about it. If no such driver exists, that's that. It 'aint gonna magically appear just by messing with the registry.

Fitting your own graphics card is the route I would take.

That's me done with this thread. 'Bye.
