Question

I got windows 11 and now my monitors disconnect

Spartan Wolf120 0

I recently went from windows 10 to 11. Since then my monitors will just lose signal and I need to restart my computer. It can happen right after signing in or just at a random time. I tried installing the latest Nvidia drivers to see if that was the problem but it still happens.

So during the very limited time I have before it goes blank again I have found that every time this happens I get a error with event ID 86 if that helps.

Hi serega, this is Kimberly. I'm glad to assist you today.

You said you installed the latest Nvidia drivers, let’s make sure:

Steps:

Go to Device Manager → Display Adapters.

Right-click your GPU → Properties → Driver tab.

Confirm the driver version matches the latest from Nvidia’s site:

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

Optional: Clean Install

Even if it's the latest, perform a clean installation using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU):

Boot into Safe Mode.

Use DDU to fully remove old GPU drivers.

Reinstall the latest driver from Nvidia manually.

Should you have more questions, please let me know.

Best regards,

Kimberly
