Today was Windows Update day. One of the updates concerned the display driver. As these are usually not the most recent (coming from Microsoft) my Intel Driver Support Assistant signaled a better update immediately after installing Windows Updates and restarting my machine (MSI Creator P 100; Windows 10, x64 system; external display monitor unit).
So far nothing out of the ordinary as I had this happen before. The Intel update - which BTW I had already installed yesterday without any problems before Windows Update made it undone today - caused some unforeseen problem during the first try installing it. That has also happened before. The normal procedure is, to cancel the process and start anew with the same download which then usually works as a charm.
Today however, during the second try one of my anti-virus programs intervened, supposedly because of a Trojan (Generic, I believe), and aborted the process prematurely subsequently blocking all other processes, while the display driver was already deactivated/removed but not yet replaced with the new one.
Logically, my display monitor went black and I'm now unable to get it back up. My desktop is starting normally and I can even blindly put in my PIN-number to activate the welcoming screen but I cannot see it. The display monitor just stays black and shuts down after a while because of no signal.
I'm at a loss as to how to tackle this problem or where to find the proper information allowing me to make some inroads into a solution.
I would welcome each and any suggestion from anybody especially from those who have specifically encountered this problem or something similar before.
This really sucks (pardon my French).
