After updating to windows 10 my tv hu8200 is seen as a pnp monitor because of no drivers!? with win 8.1 worked just fine. What can i do to fix this problem?
Discussion is locked
After an OS change we get to do the usual driver hunt for motherboard video and sometimes a monitor. I'm finding many folk new to Windows that didn't know this or that no one can really do this work without hitting the PC makers web site.
If i've started posting on forums it means that i searched and found nothing!And really who should i ask more for help microsoft or samsung?
So it's rare to ask them. And since the trouble is on the PC we're back to that maker on the issue. It might be Samsung but all they are going to supply at best is the monitor.inf file. Now most folk are totally blown away by that last sentence. Most never heard of the monitor.inf file or what it does.
So what to do but learn all about Windows or just have it fixed by folk that do such things?
Even I can't offer much because I don't see the PC details. And the model number of the Samsung is incomplete. That may be way forums are failing you.
UE55HU8200Z is the tv and with windows 8.1 worked just fine there wasn't any detection problems nothing else change but the operating system.
But a PC with Windows 8.1 is too vague and we know that Microsoft still won't get all the drivers for us. Yes it may have worked before but someone could have installed drivers and the monitor.inf for you.
If you want members to help you find drivers, the PC details are required. That doesn't mean they will find them.
https://www.google.com/search?q=UE55HU8200Z&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=UE55HU8200Z+monitor.inf+%22windows+10%22 doesn't get many hits but it may reveal to those new to this file why it matters. It's only a piece of the puzzle, not the total solution.
