Some users are complaining that their laptop or desktop screen is showing white edges. This is a display-related problem that usually occurs due to faulty hardware, corrupted graphics card, or corrupted display drivers. This article shows you how to deal with this display-related problem.

If the edge of your screen is white, you might have incorrect display color settings, or your display drivers are corrupted. You can try resetting the display color settings to default and updating or rolling back your display drivers and see if this helps.

Another cause of the problem is the faulty hardware. In such a case, you have to take professional help to repair your display.

If your Windows laptop screen is showing white corners, borders or edges around the monitor screen, then do this to fix the issue.

If you have more than one display, you can check whether or not this is a hardware-related issue by connecting another display to your system.

Let’s see the solutions to fix this problem in detail.

If the hardware is not faulty, the graphics card drivers may be the culprit of the problem. Therefore, we suggest you update or roll back your display drivers. First, try rolling back your graphics card drivers. You will find your graphics card driver under the Display Adapters node in the Device Manager. If this does not work or if the Roll Back Driver button is grayed out, try updating your driver.

When it comes to updating the drivers on a Windows 11/10 computer, you can try any one of the following methods:

After updating the driver, restart your computer and check if the issue is fixed or not.
