I don't recall exact error message, I can take a picture next time I boot my multyboot system into Windows. Most likely it was "No compatible GPUs found". Windows pulled its own driver which works perfectly on proper resolution in dual screen mode, so driver is correct. There are no visible differences between working Windows 10 and non working Windows 10 on exactly the same desktop, different partitions. Are there are any commands, utilities etc to show driver status? Device manager lists correct driver and shows no errors on both systems.

Are the driver versions the same in Device Manager on both systems? System Information also has the driver version under Components > Display.

Shown by device manager driver versions ATI Radeon HD 4600 series are the same: AMD 1/13/2015 v8.970.100.9001
Error message is "No compatible displays found".

Current state - two monitors, one connected to one of two radeon 4600 series DVI connectors, another to an on board Intel display port. Same configuration works when booted to another Windows 10 instance.

Unable to run on my working Windows 10 - Windows Defender found a virus from 2019, most likely false positive but I did not risk my primary desktop system. Surprisingly, fresh Windows 11 did not complain.

I don't know what in EDW is triggering the antivirus but it's a false positive. Something is wrong with the driver because it shouldn't be returning -1 for the display indexes. I don't know what would cause that, but I bet installing the Windows 7 or 8 driver would fix the problem. You have to install the driver manually through Device Manager after extracting because the installer won't install the driver on Windows 10.

I simply reinstalled fresh Windows 10 with AMD 4600 board installed ahead of time - zero problems whatsoever. Thank you.
