Yellow Exclamation Mark on Graphics Driver under Device Manager

Yellow exclamation point showed up because somehow Windows detected some conflict with your video controller.

That punctuation mark indicates the status of your video controller,  there might be some driver problems. You can simply view the status of your driver in Device Manager, to find out the error code, by that you can simply determine how to properly resolve your issue by knowing the generated code, such as code 39 and so on.

If you don’t want to view the status of your driver, you can simply delete your video controller in the  device manager, then restart your computer and install it again.
