Almost every PC and laptop owner knows the importance of keeping Windows, installed applications, security software, and device driver updates. However, only a few users know why driver needs to be updated and how to update them. This post answers these basic questions and helps fix display and monitor issues faced by Lenovo users.
What is a driver & why do you need to keep them updated?
A driver is a software that transmits instructions between a PC’s operating system and connected external or internal devices. When this software (device driver) is outdated, missing, or corrupt, the PC fails to communicate the instructions received from the devices, making them useless. Therefore, for the proper functioning of a device, drivers need to be updated. A straightforward method to update drivers is to install Windows update > optional update. However, sometimes Windows fail to provide the latest updates. For this reason, a third-party driver updater or visiting the manufacturer’s website is recommended.
Below we explain different ways to update drivers. You can pick the method that you find convenient and update drives. Doing so will help fix the Lenovo display driver issue on Windows 11, 10, and lower versions.
