Drivers & Software

Until a month or so ago my HP Pavilion 15 aw009ax laptop was working fine running Windows 10. Then after a software/drivers update I could no longer run the Roon Labs program. It said...

OpenGL 3.0 or higher is required. The video drivers on this system do not support OpenGL 3.0.

GL_ARB_framebuffer_object extension is missing.

The laptop reports it has the following graphics devices, and both are flagged...

AMD Radeon R5 Graphics

Driver Provider: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc

Driver Date: 26/10/2017

Driver Version: 23.20.768.12

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

AMD Radeon R8 M445DX

Driver Provider: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc

Driver Date: 26/10/2017

Driver Version: 23.20.768.12

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

Trying to update the drivers via Windows reports...

The best drivers are already installed.

How do I get back support for OpenGL?

I've reinstalled the BIOS from the HP web site. Still no graphics related option.

I've gone through and removed the AMD drivers again, such that I was back to the basic windows drivers.

Then I've installed the graphics drivers from the HP web site. The device drivers are now reporting that they're okay and OpenGL is working.

Many thanks to everyone who has helped me to get this far.

Now I just need to figure out how to keep the system from replacing these drivers with updated ones.
