Update your graphics drivers.
If you don’t want to or can’t uninstall the latest update, you can try clean installing your graphics drivers. Rather than just uninstalling and reinstalling them using the traditional method you need to use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) which works for both NVIDIA and AMD products.
