Hi
I have disable my grafic adapter by mistake in device manager in windows 10, now my computer does not show the desktop but only a blue blinking screen with the mouse pointer.
Is it possible to re-enable it in windows safe mode?(it starts fine in this mode)
Many thanks
Nic

Hello,

Kindly try the following;

1. Press and hold the windows key, and tap 'R' (this is the keyboard shortcut to the run box)

2. Type "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) and hit Enter (this opens device manager)

3. Wait a few moments to make sure device manager is open, and then hit the TAB key once. this brings the selection onto the device list.

4. Look for Display Adapters

7. Click the dropdown selection, and right again to go to the first device in that selection.

8. Hit Alt+A together to open the context menu for your adaptor (assuming it's the first in the list).

9. Hit the Down cursor key which selects Enable (note, if you've got the wrong device, this will select disable for that device). then, hit Enter to enable it...

10. If you get a number of dialogues, just use a combination of enter/Y (for yes) until they are finished.

11. Reboot your system.
