However, the standard uninstall often fails or deletes the old video card drivers causing issues when installing new/updated drivers.Īfter running Display Driver Uninstaller, the program will make it as if you are about to install a new video driver on a fresh, clean install of Windows. Most often, Intel, AMD, and Nvidia drivers can be uninstalled with the Windows Uninstall Programs window. I did not mean to imply this method is suitable for completely removing all nVidia application files (that task is easily accomplished via Add/Remove Programs and a quick scan of your startup settings).Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a graphics driver removal tool that helps remove all remnants of AMD, Nvidia, and Intel graphics card drivers. The advice above was intended to illustrate how to remove drivers that were left behind after using the standard uninstall tools provided by nVidia. Do not use this method as your only means of removing driver software. The work it does is not needed nine out of ten times.Įdit: Below, Nicholas brings up a valid point. Anything that DDU does can be due manually IF there is an issue. If it ain't broken, don't 'fix' it.Īnyone that says you need DDU only knows enough about computers to really fuck over their system if just one thing doesn't go to plan. I don't use tools like DDU because I prefer to have total control over my system and that means no automated software fucking with my system files. In fact, it's built into Windows and has been for a long time.
There's is a much better way of removing old drivers that doesn't rely on some lone group of programmers making rules for every possible hardware configuration.
