    okay, help me do this properly, my laptop has teh screen resolution reset after a NVIDIA 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.

    Ive downloaded DDU and teh 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, so 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!!

    the real fix was the friends we made along the way

    wait pro or Home edition? It changes how you block driver updates.

    sequence that works: 1) download teh older package from the NVIDIA 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. good luck man!

    hmmm DDU isnt 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 u to install a driver mid-cleanup.

    Roll Back is greyed out when Windows doesnt have teh previous driver package cached. Thats normal, not a sign anything is broken. You can see whats stored with pnputil /enum-drivers and remove a specific package with pnputil /delete-driver oemXX.inf /uninstall.

    @ninam851 Did it exactly in that order with the network unplugged. Old driver installed, the screen resolution reset is gone, and Windows hasnt touched it in a week. Thank u!
