Once you have found this, look for your manufacturer in the table below and go to their "Auto-Detector" site and scan your computer for any out-of-date drivers.
If one is found, please install the update; if for any reason there are no available updates or the updates do not solve your issue, please see this article to get assistance.
If you recently installed Windows 10, you must take additional steps to ensure that your drivers are not overridden by Windows Update. Refer to this page for more information. You must first uninstall the current driver you are using before you use an updated driver from below whether or not you are using the auto-updating tool or manual methods. In addition, if you are using an "Intel HD Graphics" or "Intel HD Graphics 3000" chipset, see the instructions at the top of this page.
