I've seen that a some where a power glitch and safe mode will mess the monitor driver up and reset it to generic pnp. Windows 10 is so good about finding it's own drivers, I've found just deleting the wrong device in device manager and letting it get recognized again upon reboot is easiest for someone without much skill level. Some times you have to "show hidden devices" from the "View" menu though and delete them when they show there too if it gets problematic.

Are you IN Safe Mode (per the labels at top/bottom screen on boot)? mr_lebowski Feb 2019 #3

Well, now I'm not so sure I am in safe mode. BarbaRosa Feb 2019 #4

You can still check msconfig as I instructed above ... mr_lebowski Feb 2019 #5
