#Acer monitor drivers for windows 10 install#
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. 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. When I select browsing, navigate to the folder where I've downloaded and extracted the driver file for When I select "Update Driver", a window opens offering the choice between searching automatically for updated driver software, or browsing my computer. 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.

The "Driver Details" button opens a "Driver File Details" window showing the driver file as "C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\monitor.sys". The Driver tab shows the driver as a Microsoft driver dated, version 4.1. 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.

Model as 2269, while the Hardware tab shows the Name as "Generic PnP Monitor".


When I check Properties, a "2269W Properties" windows opens with two tabs, General and Hardware. When I go to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers, my monitor appears as 2269W (the actual model is i2269Vw). 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. This is a desktop running Windows 10, version 1803, with an AOC monitor.
