    ugh. okay, help me do this properly lmao My streaming PC has random driver crashes after a NVIDIA update and Ive decided to go back to teh 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 the older package, what exactly do i do, in what order, and how do i stop Windows from reinstalling the new one beihnd 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.

    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.

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

    hmmm sequence that works: 1) download the older package from teh 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 teh older package, 6) reconnect. fingers crossed 🤞

    nah tbh for a one-version rollback, the installers own clean install checkbox (when available) is often enough. DDU is great, but not always required.
