Windows 10 & 11 DCH Driver Update

The Intel Graphics Windows 10 & 11 DCH Driver update installed and now my CPU and Screen cannot see each other. Therefore, I cannot see anything on my CPU. How do I reverse the driver update with my inability to see my machine?

 

(I have changed out the cables, tried a different screen, reboot the machine a number of times. I am convinced it is the new driver.)

I have a Dell XPS8930 and a Dell 2200 monitor.

Assistance?

Hello @DuffMulligan

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities.

 

In order to understand better this behavior, could you please provide us with the following details?

1- Do you see any POST code, beep code, or LED blinking pattern? Do you hear if the fans are spinning?

Have you tried using minimal configuration? For instance, disconnecting all non-necessary peripherals, adapters, external drives, etc?

2- When you said "CPU and Screen cannot see each other", do you mean there is no image on the screen? For instance, is it only a black screen? Are you able to see the BIOS POST screen and boot into the BIOS? Do you see the Windows* loading screen?

3- We understand that you tested different cables and another display. Just to make sure, did you also test different video ports on the computer? For instance, HDMI*, DisplayPort*, etc?

Also, as per Dell* website, the Dell* XPS 8930 may include a discrete video card. Is this the same configuration on your system? If yes, have you tested using only the onboard video ports?

 

4- Are you able to boot in the "Safe or Recovery" Mode? Computers manufacturers (OEM) usually offer a series of boot options for diagnostic and recovery. This is launched by a key or key combination when powering on the system. How to launch the option (if available) may vary from one OEM to another, so we recommend contacting Dell* Support for assistance to run any Diagnostic, Recover, or Safe mode feature available for your system. Also, we found this article from Dell* with some steps regarding options like "Verify display or video issue in Windows Safe Mode, Windows® System Restore", etc.: How to Troubleshoot Display or Video Issues on a Dell Monitor. For proper assistance with those steps, we recommend verifying with Dell* Support team.

5- How was the said driver installed? Did you manually download it or did you use any software? Do you know the driver version that was installed?

6- What is the model of the Processor and Intel® Graphics Controller? Is this Windows* 10 or Windows* 11 and what is its full version number/build?
