## Troubleshooting
|
||||
### ⚠️ Important: GPU/Chipset Driver Updates
|
||||
|
||||
VDD can conflict with major driver updates, causing display priority issues or black screens on boot.
|
||||
|
||||
**Before Updating Drivers**
|
||||
|
||||
If you're planning to update GPU or chipset drivers:
|
||||
1. Uninstall VDD first (via VDC app or Device Manager)
|
||||
2. Complete your driver update
|
||||
3. Reinstall VDD
|
||||
|
||||
**If You're Stuck at Black Screen**
|
||||
|
||||
*Boot into Safe Mode:*
|
||||
* Force shutdown 2-3 times until Windows Recovery appears
|
||||
* Choose: Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup Settings → Restart → F4 (Safe Mode)
|
||||
|
||||
*Remove VDD:*
|
||||
* Open Device Manager in Safe Mode
|
||||
* Expand Display Adapters → Uninstall Virtual Display Driver
|
||||
* Restart normally
|
||||
|
||||
*Quick Fix Alternative:*
|
||||
* Press `Win + P` at black screen
|
||||
* Press ↓ arrow and Enter multiple times to cycle display modes
|
||||
|
||||
**Why This Happens**
|
||||
|
||||
During driver updates, Windows re-enumerates display devices and may prioritize the virtual display over your physical monitor. Since VDD has no physical screen attached, this results in a black screen even though Windows is running normally.
