QuestionHow do you update your graphics card driver?
Answer
AGI recommends that your graphics card driver be no more than six months old.  Also, if you install a new version of STK, AGI recommends that you install the latest graphics drivers for your graphics hardware. Old drivers are a common cause of problems in STK. 
 
To update the graphics driver of the NVidia graphics card, download the NVidia GeForce Experience on the NVidia website. This is the easiest way to keep your drivers up to date. You can also search for your graphics card driver on their website.
 
To update other graphics cards, use the instructions on the Microsoft website (Direct Link).
  1. Select the Start button, type "Device Manager", and select it from the list of results.
  2. Expand one of the categories to find the name of your device. Right-click (or tap and hold) it and select Update Driver Software.
  3. Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
  4. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website. Then follow their instructions for installation.
