This is a desktop running Windows 10, version 1803, with an AOC monitor. I'm trying to update a generic Windows driver from 2006 with a manufacturer's driver from 2013, but Windows keeps telling me that the best driver is already installed.
When I go to Control PanelHardware and SoundDevices and Printers, my monitor appears as 2269W (the actual model is i2269Vw). When I check Properties, a '2269W Properties' windows opens with two tabs, General and Hardware. The General tab also shows the model as 2269, while the Hardware tab shows the Name as 'Generic PnP Monitor'.
The Hardware tab has its own Properties button, which brings up a 'Generic PnP Monitor Properties' window with four tabs; General, Driver, Details, and Events. The Driver tab shows the driver as a Microsoft driver dated 6/21/2006, version 10.0.17134.1. The 'Driver Details' button opens a 'Driver File Details' window showing the driver file as 'C:WINDOWSsystem32DRIVERSmonitor.sys'.

In the Driver tab, only the 'Driver Details' button is active; the others, including 'Update Driver', are grayed out. However, when I go back to the 'Generic PnP Monitor Properties' window, the General tab has a 'Change settings' button, which also brings up a 'Generic PnP Monitor Properties' window, but on this one the buttons are active, including 'Update Driver', except for the 'Roll Back Driver' button.
When I select 'Update Driver', a window opens offering the choice between searching automatically for updated driver software, or browsing my computer. When I select browsing, navigate to the folder where I've downloaded and extracted the driver file for this monitor from the AOC website, and select 'Next', a window opens telling me that 'The best drivers for your device are already installed', with the options to either search for updated drivers on Windows Update, or close. (My Windows 10 is fully up-to-date.)
Microsoft Generic Pnp Monitor Driver
I have a hard time believing that a generic Windows driver from 2006 is better than a manufacturer's driver from 2013, but can't find any way to install the AOC driver. I though about deleting the monitor.sys file and copying the manufacturer's *.icm and *.inf files into the DRIVERS folder, but am hesitant because there are no other files of either format in that folder.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This may be linked to some other thread somewhere on this site. But I'm on Day 12 of this problem and desperate for an answer. I have an HP Pavilion Touchscreen laptop 14-f040ca, with AMD HD Radeon 8400 graphics. Everything was fine after I upgraded to Windows 10 in May 2016 (previously ran from Sep 2013 on Windows 8, 8.1). On October 30, 2016, a Windows 10 update ran and my screen went black. Was able to do hard reset, reboot BUT then freezes after slow reboot and desktop icons appear. Safe mode shows problem is GENERIC pnp MONITOR DRIVER FAILURE. HP technical support (yes I'm paying for their help) doesn't seem to know what to do, they installed the Crimson 'fix' that they saw on AMD site. That didn't work. They reset my computer to point BEFORE the event on October 30, i.e. just before the Windows update and computer worked FINE for several hours until WINDOWS 10 did another update. And now I'm back to same problem.
Assume there is some link with AMD Radeon and Windows 10, based on what I've read online. WHAT SHOULD I, the customer, advise HP TO DO....i.e. an updated AMD driver potentially to install that I can tell them about. I'm on my 4th day with them, technical support, and seems like any advice I can give THEM might help to get this problem resolved.
