An update was recently installed and now my AMD Radeon HD 3200 display adapter is not working as it did before. I’ve lost my preferred resolution option and the ability to use multiple monitors, and the adapter type is now reported as Microsoft Basic Display Driver. Any suggestions?

Hi Shirlen,

We are aware of a problem that resulted in an incorrect driver update for some AMD Radeon HD 2000, 3000, and 4000 series adapters. 

(Updated: 12/18/17)

If you were impacted by the incorrect driver, Windows Update KB4057291 has been released that will install a driver to restore multi-monitor display and resolution control capabilities.  Go to Start -> Settings -> Update & security, then Check for updates and install the update to resolve your issue.  You can also go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website to install the update.

(With the release of Windows Update KB4057291, it should no longer be necessary to manually delete the improper driver, as was originally recommended below.)

*****

Follow these steps for all versions of Windows 10 to manually delete the 22.19.128.0 driver from the system and recover the recommended driver version (8.970.100.9001):

  1. Start Device Manager. To do this, press and hold (or right-click) the Start Menu icon, and then select Device Manager.
  2. Expand Display adapters, right-click the adapter that has the problem driver installed, and then select Properties.
  3. Select the Driver tab and verify driver version is 22.19.128.0.
  4. Select Uninstall Device.
  5. Check the box that says, "Delete the driver software for this device.” This step is important and will prevent the problematic driver from reinstalling in the future.
  6. The system may require a reboot at this point. Reboot if needed, then reopen Device Manager.
  7. Select any device, then click Action -> Scan for hardware changes.
  8. Recheck the driver version.  If it still reports 22.19.128.0, repeat steps 4 to 7 until the recommended driver (8.970.100.9001) is re-installed.  If this resolves your graphics problems, you can stop here.  If a different driver version is installed, follow the next step to check for the driver using Windows Update.
  9. Go to Start -> Settings -> Update & security, then Check for updates and install any available updates.

If you have further questions, feel free to reply to this thread.

    the subject of this thread was "an update was recently installed and now my AMD Radeon HD 3200 display adapter is not working as it did before. I’ve lost my preferred resolution option and the ability to use multiple monitors..."

    Problem concerned PCs with graphics cards ATI Radeon 2000, 3000, and 4000 series: Windows Update

    had installed in november 2017 a wrong driver for those cards. This problem has been solved in december by KB4057291.

    I had this problem, the screen was not acceptable, but Windows did not stop, and I have never seen any error 43. Reinstalling the previous driver, dated 2015-01-13 solved the problem.

    "Error 43" is an other problem: "When you start the Device Manager and check the properties of the AMD Readon device, you may see an error massage “Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems” with code 43".

    If people get this error 43, they could/should create a new thread specifying:

    • which version of Windows 10,
    • which graphic card,
    • which driver (version and date),
    • what really happens when this error 43 occurs.

    I've tried this multiple times and nothing is working. We run a Engineering firm that needs this fix asap so we can run CAD software. I've spent 6 hours trying to fix this.  You can easily fix this issue using this guide.
