    guys pls help okay, help me do this properly.. 😤 my prebuilt tower has the screen resolution reset after a ASUS update and Ive decided to go back to the previous driver.

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    I've downloaded DDU and the older package. what exactly do I do, in what order, and how do I stop Windows from reinstalling teh new one behind my back? I have never used DDU before, sooo please assume I know nothing. I do have a USB stick and a second device to read instructions on while I work. thx in advance!!

    lol same thing happened to me roll Back is greyed out when Windows doesn't have the previous driver package cached, that's normal, not a sign anything is broken. u can see what's stored with pnputil /enum-drivers and remove a specific package with pnputil /delete-driver oemXX.inf /uninstall.

    day one patch is bigger than the actual game, classic

    hmmm sequence that works: 1) download the older package from the ASUS support page and DDU, 2) disconnect the network, 3) boot into Safe Mode (Settings > Recovery > Advanced startup > Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings), 4) run DDU, choose Clean and restart, 5) install the older package, 6) reconnect.

    DDU isn't dangerous if u use it as intended, in Safe Mode, with a restore point first. The real risk is running it in normal mode with the network on and letting Windows race you to install a driver mid-cleanup.

    if installing the older package over the top complains about a newer version, that's exactly the case for DDU. installers refuse downgrades but are fine on a clean system. worked for me anyway 🤷

    ok so before all that, create a restore point: Checkpoint-Computer -Description "before DDU" in an admin PowerShell, or via System Protection... cheap insurance.

    to stop Windows Update rpelacing it, use Device Installation Settings > No (System > About > Advanced system settings > Hardware) or the Group Policy "Do not include drivers with Windows Updates" on Pro.
