## Troubleshooting
### ⚠️ Important: GPU/Chipset Driver Updates

VDD can conflict with major driver updates, causing display priority issues or black screens on boot.

**Before Updating Drivers**

If you're planning to update GPU or chipset drivers:
1. Uninstall VDD first (via VDC app or Device Manager)
2. Complete your driver update
3. Reinstall VDD

**If You're Stuck at Black Screen**

*Boot into Safe Mode:*
* Force shutdown 2-3 times until Windows Recovery appears
* Choose: Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → Startup Settings → Restart → F4 (Safe Mode)

*Remove VDD:*
* Open Device Manager in Safe Mode
* Expand Display Adapters → Uninstall Virtual Display Driver
* Restart normally

*Quick Fix Alternative:*
* Press `Win + P` at black screen
* Press ↓ arrow and Enter multiple times to cycle display modes

**Why This Happens**

During driver updates, Windows re-enumerates display devices and may prioritize the virtual display over your physical monitor. Since VDD has no physical screen attached, this results in a black screen even though Windows is running normally.
