Problem with Graphics HD 4000/Display Adapter

[LTruo2]

So to begin with, when I updated to the newest Windows 10 point something, the brightness controls weren't working. After some research, I found that there was a glitch in the new update and the only way to fix it was going back to the old version. In order to do that, I had to uninstall the full Intel Graphics Driver but when I try downloading the new (I guess technically old) Graphics Driver, it says "Your computer does not meet the minimum requirement to install this". After a little more research, I think I found my problem. Instead of seeing "Basic Microsoft Display Adapter" under Display Adapters in Device Manager, I don't even have a display adapter period.

How do I fix that?

I have a

Lenovo Ideapad P400

64 OS

Perhaps it is showing up in "Other devices" or "Unknown device".

You may try the manual installation method or Windows* System Restore.

Joe, thanks for your reply but I tried both options and I am still getting the "Your computer....install this" message and I still can't find the display adapter in "other devices" or "unknown device". Any more advice?

Please provide the System Information report (press Windows* key + R, type "msinfo32", press OK and then Export).

Downloading the driver worked! Before when I tried downloading, I got the same "Computer is not compatible" message but after the System Restore, it worked perfectly, thanks!
