Primary Display's Adapter Doesn't Support NVIDIA 3D Vision [Fix]

Dealing with video graphic cards problems while using your Windows 10 system is a real bummer. Depending on the error you experience you might not be able to use specific programs or play your favorite games.

However, in most situations, these issues can be quickly addressed since we are talking about a software malfunction. So, if you just got the primary display’s adapter does not support Nvidia 3D vision error message, don’t panic.

Follow the guidelines below and learn how to quickly resolve this problem.

Understanding the problem

Before applying the steps below, ensure your device or computer can get 3D vision within the standard display. The Nvidia 3D protocol requires a certain screen resolution and a special monitor, or else you cannot enjoy the actual 3D vision, even if the installed graphic card offers built-in support for this feature.

If your monitor or display cannot support 3D vision, you must connect an external monitor via an HDMI connection.

Otherwise, the error message is most likely caused by a corrupted driver.
