Is there a fix for error code 43 on my NVIDIA GeForce 9200 Windows 10 display driver?

First is that very few real "MS" employee participate in this forum, so there is no way of knowing if MS becomes aware of your posting. On the other hand, if you copy your statement above and post it to the Feedback Hub / UserVoice forum, someone at MS will see it.

Yes, recently MS released some recent updates that have been causing video issues. MS has identified and fixed issues specific to some ATI/AMD Radeon video cards, but I have not seen anything specific to NVIDIA.

Before the official fix came out, the work around was to uninstall the current drivers block the newest driver and install a slightly older one. This next link suggested a similar approach for an older NVIDIA problem with the same error code

Here is an article with a couple of power related alternatives I have not seen before for video issues:

Is there anything new in that article that you haven't tried yet?

Hi Jose, your Display Driver will need rolling back . . . Windows Update has lately been installing incorrect display drivers . . .

Open Device Manager (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)
Expand the Display Adapters Section
Right click your graphics card, choose properties
On the Driver Tab, click 'Roll back Driver'

Close Device Manager and restart your system

_________________________________________________

If the rollback option is greyed out:

Right click on your display adapter, click 'Uninstall device'
Choose 'Delete the driver software for this device' then click 'Uninstall'
Restart the computer (myst be a restart, not a shut down)
Windows will then download the correct driver

Rolling back wasn't an available option and uninstalling the driver and letting Windows reinstall it never helped. I'm going to recover the previous version of Windows 10.

Well, here I am and Windows 10 Pro has once again upgraded itself, now to version 10.0.16299 Build 16299--despite the fact that I stopped the automatic updates earlier via Group Policy Editor (see thread history; I used gpedit.msc per http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-disable-windows-update-in-windows-10/). I'm not going to state the obvious here (that this is frustrating!), but what's really bothersome is that the NVIDIA video driver that was perfectly working before has once again been removed and I'm back to the plain vanilla "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" driver. I don't use this PC very often but when I do I need it to be working! I saw an error when I first booted this morning titled "Trigger External Graphics Family", saying something about that a driver was already being installed and to click OK and wait for that to finish before reattempting this procedure, or something like that. I clicked OK. No driver seemed to be getting installed. I think none will, but I'll reboot in case Windows is actually trying to fix itself...BRB!

Rebooting changed nothing. The same plain vanilla "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" driver is still there and only one of my four screens is up and running, just as it was prior to rebooting. The code 43 display driver error I originally started with is not happening now but the screens aren't all up and running and that's just as bad. Of course, now, the current display driver isn't the NVIDIA GeForce 9200 that was originally reporting error code 43, but rather it's the plain vanilla Windows VGA driver. Proceeding to download the driver I previously noted was working prior to the Windows 10 upgrade (NVIDIA GEForce 9200 Version 341.81) from http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/Windows/341.81/341.81-desktop-win10-64bit-international.exe&lang=us&type=GeForce. I will attempt to reinstall it and report back. Hopefully this will also correct the missing "Coprocessor" driver I see in Device Manager, but that's only secondary for me right now. My main issue is Windows 10 Pro's recent update mechanism is disabling/removing my video drivers and causing three out of my four screens not to display anything, while leaving the main screen at the low 1024x768 resolution. Let's see if this GeForce 341.81 reinstallation helps...

During installation, the NVIDIA GeForce 9200 version 341.81 driver successfully switched on all extended displays and I was able to move my mouse pointer freely and accurately across all screens according to how I had it all set up before--only there was a black screen, all my windows and desktop background were not visible during this time, and a blue circular progress icon kept revolving the entire time next to the mouse pointer. After several minutes, the sound of a failure event rang and the lock screen came up. I logged back in. A notification appeared saying, "Display driver failed to start; using Microsoft Basic Display Driver instead. Check Windows Update for a newer display driver." Needless to say, I'm not very enthused at this point. Seems there is a miss in the deployment of drivers for my particular machine, and I'm not sure whether the blame lies with NVIDIA or Microsoft. I have reported all this to Microsoft via the Windows 10 Feedback Hub accessible on the Start menu.

Hi Jose,

If you encounter the same error after installing the display driver, our next step is to uninstall and delete the current version of the display driver before reinstalling the NVIDIA driver. To do this, you can follow the steps below:

1. Type Device Manager in the search box and press Enter.
   
2. Click the drop down arrow for Display adapters, right-click the adapter that has the problem driver installed, and then select Properties.
3. Select the Driver tab.
   
4. Select Uninstall Device.
5. Check the box that says, "Delete the driver software for this device.” This step is important and will prevent the problematic driver from reinstalling in the future.
6. The system may require a reboot at this point. Reboot if needed.
7. Reinstall the display driver again and check if the issue persists.

Let us know should you need further assistance.

Darwin, even after doing this, or using the DDU Uninstaller, the new driver keeps coming back later on. Windows 10 force reinstalls it later!

Hello! I am currently having the exact same issue, have you found a solution to this problem yet?
