OS: Windows 10 (Yeah, but it's not their fault )
Experience In What I'm Doing: To be honest, I suck…just less than anyone else in the family
I have a Radeon graphics card (please don't ask which; my Dad threw the box .…somewhere, just not away) and I was fiddling around with the aspects. The 1.13 update of Minecraft is coming up soon and I can't get it to work. Since I got the card for the LAST major update, I wanted to go ahead and eliminate my card as the issue. I've been really bad at keeping the drivers up-to-date because it doesn't seem like anything is being done, it takes a long time to do that nothing, and I can't do anything until that nothing is being done
That being said, I went into the software to manually check for updates, since it hasn't reminded me to do so in quite some time. I was checking all of the tabs for the right page and I saw something like "GUI Scaling" (I don't think that's what it was; it's just all that I can remember and I jotted what I could remember down before I completely forgot). When I hit the button, my screen went blank. I thought that it'd do like standard graphics settings and go back after to the previous setting if I didn't confirm it, but nothing happened after a full minute. I reset my computer, hoping that those previous settings would be there, but I got the computer's loading screen, Windows 10's loading screen…and then, nothing. I can hear the sound of Windows loading, but nothing on the screen. Since I can't see anything, I can't DO anything.
I'm hoping that it won't involve opening the computer (I seriously doubt my tech skills), but, can anyone help me to temporarily disable my video card drivers (or temporarily transfer priority to the default video card) from start-up?
Update: I've been able to remove the card (I'm glad it was easy, I'm always afraid of breaking something by applying too much force and not knowing when is too much or too little) and uninstall the drivers, but, when I reinstall the card, it goes back to the blank screen. I've even tried changing the resolution of my screen and trying again, but nothing. BUT, I do have more information:
Video Card: MSI Radeon HD 5450 DirectX 11 R5450-MD1GD3H/LP 1GB 64-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Video Card
