In the top left corner of your Steam window, click “Help” -> Click “System Information” -> Wait for it to load -> Scroll down until you find a category named “Video Card” -> Find what is written next to “Driver”
Click below in the name of the company of your video card:
1. Find the “Support” section -> Find the “Drivers and updates” section
2. Download and install whatever tool they ask you to download and install
3. Scan your computer and completely update all your drivers. Make all updates shown in their support center.
If at any moment you get an error message saying your driver couldn’t be updated and you have to contact your manufacturer, follow the instructions below.
In case you don’t know what your computer manufacturer is, in the top left corner of your Steam window, click “Help” -> Click “System Information” -> Wait for it to load -> The first category you’ll see is “Computer Information” -> Find what is written next to “Manufacturer”
