Okay, so I used this program called MikuMikuDance. It's a free 3D animation software that is used to make videos and pictures. I've been using it for years now and have never had it blocked from my graphics driver before. But when I attempted to update my version of Windows (which is a whole separate problem, as it just gets stuck at 99% and then never updates and I'm forced to manually shut down my laptop or it never leaves the 99% updated screen and has been an issue for a year now) I've been met with an error whenever I try to load effects in this program (ie: lighting or shading effects) that says it failed to load the effect and then the program freezes. Then, I get a windows notification saying that it has blocked the program from accessing the graphics driver and I'm forced to close MikuMikuDance via task manager if it hasn't crashed on it's own.
I looked online for answers and found this thread here: Graphics Hardware keeps blocking MikuMikuDance
I tried to follow the steps given in attempt to fix this problem, but it only caused more issues than I originally had. I restarted the graphics driver, but that didn't fix the problem. I moved on to the second fix option listed, which was to go into Device Manager and see if the rollback option was available for the graphics driver, which it wasn't. I continued to follow instructions and do the next step, which was to delete and reinstall the driver. I followed the instructions exactly and this was where I ran into even more issues. After I finished the restart step and was following the further steps (Start -> Settings -> Update & security) I went back into device manager and checked that before attempting to update my laptop. The graphics driver was still deleted, so I continued on and went to update my laptop as the instructions said to do, though I had a knot in my stomach given the issues I've been having with updating Windows as is. I waited for hours to let it update only for it to get stuck 85% completion. I waited for three hours and it STILL was at 85% completion and showed no signs of going further. So I manually shut off the laptop, restarted it, and reset it to the most recent restore point made on 4/12/2020. I must add that before putting it back to this restore point, I also was no longer able to adjust my screen brightness after deleting the driver and restarting as instructed. It was set to 100% brightness and no matter how many times I tried to use the brightness buttons on the keyboard, I could not get it to adjust to a lower percentage.
Now that I've gotten my laptop reset, I can adjust the brightness as normal but MikuMikuDance is still being blocked from the graphics driver, preventing me from making further animations. Before resetting, I also did follow the link to the Intel website and searched for my laptop's drivers but it only came up with the following:
I am not familiar with the third option and did not mess with it, but I tried both Intel Processor applications and neither of them did anything to fix the problem, either. I'm now at a loss of what I can do to fix this issue, as it's preventing me from fur thing any animations.
My laptop is an HP Flyer Red with an Intel Pentium N3540 Processor, 15.6" diagonal HD display, 4GB system memory, 500GB hard drive. The graphics drive is Intel(R) HD Graphics.
