This method will update Windows and all available drivers, however as a general troubleshooting step this is not a bad idea. I'm on a Windows 10 64-bit desktop machine with an AMD Radeon R7 Graphics device.# Reinstalling Graphics Drivers # Method 1: Windows Update Now what I'm asking on advice for is I want to attempt to reinstall my Graphics Driver, now if I do such a thing, will it install after I select "scan for hardware changes"? If it does and my driver gets fixed, my issue will be resolved, however if it doesn't, what should I do? The problem I'm having now, Windows Defender has ran two scans in the span of 3 days and it hasn't noticed it so far. This has happened before and during that time after about a day, Windows Defender ran a health scan and requested action to fix a device that it said was not working properly. I tried to open up some of my other games and it came up with a similar message mentioning something with my graphics driver being non-existent or broken. However, after that was over with I wanted to play one of my games and it said I couldn't due to a graphics device not existing. It asked me to restart my computer to complete a broken installation process and after that was done I was able to install the update. I recently just reinstalled Malwarebytes anti-malware after it was requesting an update.
