Solve : Windows 10 resolution changes after restart to default? |
|
Answer» Windows 10 was fine few days ago and everything was alright and no problems until someday, I noticed that my laptop shut down itself then when I restarted it, I got that automating repair thing, and I kept getting it everytime I restart the laptop, so I knew the laptop had problems and I had to format it and reinstall windows 10, after reinstalling windows 10, I tried to install the updates which contain my 2 GPUs (Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon 7400M) and after that the resolution changed to 1600x900 which is my screen's resolution, but after the updates finished, they required me to restart the laptop so I did but after I did, laptop passed the spinning wheel of windows and after that, the screen went BLACK and the logon screen didn't come, so I had to restart it, and everytime I restart it, the screen is black as I said, so I did a system restore and everything worked but the resolution was the default one. I wonder where you are getting the windows 10 drivers from as HP didn't write drivers for the HP ProBook 4730s running windows 10. And the drivers from microsoft cause your problem.I actually got the drivers from HP and I selected windows 8.1 version, not w10 but the thing is I don't know where to get the drivers, could you help me please?When i google "HP ProBook 4730s problems running windows 10" I get 1000's of hits with problems and no solutions. The Laptop has SUPPORT for windows 7 or 8, you need to run either of those 2 versions for reliable operation or look for another laptop which is supported to run Windows 10.

The Laptop has support for windows 7 or 8, you need to run either of those 2 versions for reliable operation or look for another laptop which is supported to run Windows 10.The thing is that everything was working properly before even when using windows 10 so I think what you said is wrongSo load Windows 7 or 8.1 from the HP recovery partition or the recovery disks. As shown here https://support.hp.com/nz-en/document/c01867418 Don't expect a generic Windows with you installing the drivers is going to work use the HP INSTALLATION . Then do the upgrade to Windows 10, but run windows 10 without doing any updates. Because as soon as you install the updates for windows 10 you will start having problems. Your Laptop is not supported to run Windows 10. If you are not sure of my advice then perhaps contact Microsoft or HP or read the posts on the net.

As shown here https://support.hp.com/nz-en/document/c01867418and by the way, if I install windows 8.1 and then after that I install windows 10 and when I disable the updates in windows 10, will my laptop be back to normal?

As shown here https://support.hp.com/nz-en/document/c01867418Now I know what's the problem, I installed windows 8.1 x64 and after that, I installed intel hd graphics 3000 driver from windows update and it went fine, then when I tried to install the AMD driver that I got from HP site I believe, it detected the driver as AMD 7470m while mine is 7400m, and after that the black screen came so the whole problem is in the AMD driver, do you know where I could FIND an AMD Radeon 7400m driver for windows 8.1 x64? And it's still the same problem, even when I installed windows 8.1 and then I tried to install the drivers from windows update and also from the HP site but the black screen doesn't wanna leave me alone, I ran out of ideas and idk the fix tbhPlease read back thru my posts. In brief. You need to load the HP install for the laptop either windows 7 or 8.1. Not a generic windows with you installing the drivers yourself. Then you will know if the AMD graphics is being enabled when needed, and that it hasn't failed which is likely given the age of the Laptop and that it is AMD graphics. Once again if you don't believe me then google re solder amd graphics chip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w37QV0EZXQI At this stage since you haven't loaded the HP installation you don't know if it is a hardware fault (Most likely) or a driver issue. But If I do so, I'm gonna lose my files on the drive D, right?

I have read your original post again and i would go back to the diagnoses that the laptop can't use the display drivers on windows 10, this is well documented. And there seems no cure. The Laptop is stuck as windows 7/8.1 vintage. |
