Newly built computer, my windows 10 install was not up to date, and I also needed to update my graphics drivers which were apparently severely out of date. All attempts to update the graphics drivers returned messages saying "not compatible with your version of windows", despite triple checking that I got the right version (windows 10 64-bit). I read that I should update windows to solve this problem, not knowing how out of date it was, and did so. However, the screen became totally unbearable to look at, with a lot of text becoming nearly impossible to read due to the distortion and discoloration.
It did solve some problems, although it was difficult to parse, I could see that the device manager was properly identifying my graphics card. I thought the issue might be the out of date display drivers, and updated them. I was actually able to update them now, but it didn't fix the display. Restarting the PC after doing so also didn't fix it. Restarting in Safe Mode removes the distortion, but I don't know how to remove it permanently. I tried rolling the update back and reinstalling it and got the same result.
I've tried to search for solutions to this online and the few I found didn't work, such as updating the display drivers, rolling the display drivers back (this crashed the PC every time I tried to do it), and one specific one involving disabling two triggers on the calibration loader task in the task scheduler. It's fairly frustrating because I think I need to install this busted update first to fix it, but I can't see anything properly, and if I roll the update back, it takes almost all day to download it again before I can try some new fix.
My graphics card is a GeForce GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 3GB if that helps.
