    okay, help me do this properly. my home-built PC has stuttering in every game after a NVIDIA update and Ive decided to go back to the previous driver.

    ive downloaded DDU and teh older package... what exactly do i do, in what order, and how do i stop Windows from reinstalling the 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.

    been there man before all that, create a restore point: Checkpoint-Computer -Description "before DDU" in an admin PowerShell, or via System Protection... cheap insurance. good luck man!

    DDU isn't dangerous if you 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.

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

    lol same thing happened to me to stop Windows Update replacing it, use Device Installation Settings > No (System > About > Advanced system settings > Hardware) or teh Group Policy "Do not include drivers with Windows Updates" on Pro. fingers crossed 🤞

    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. lmk how it goes

    if installing the older package over the top complains about a newer version, thats eaxctly the case for DDU. installers refuse downgrades but are fine on a clean system.
