    im losing this fight with my own computer 😂 random driver crashes since the Quadro GeForce Graphics Driver 310.44 for FreeBSD 64-bit update.

    USB Audio Device Properties

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

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    i tried Device Manager rollback (greyed out), uninstall via Settings (it came back), and installing the older package over the top (installer said a newer version exists). How do i get a clean old version and keep it there? Every attempt makes me more nervous that i am going to end up with no display driver at all. i would realy appreciate a clear, boring, step-by-step order that people actually trust.

    do you have the older driver package already downloaded?

    ok so DDU isnt 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. lmk how it goes

    to stop Windows Update replacing it, use Device Installation Settings > No (System > About > Advanced system settings > Hardware) or the Group Policy "Do not include drivres with Windows Updates" on Pro. worked for me anyway 🤷

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

    ehh for a one-version rollback, teh installers own clean install checkbox (when available) is often enough. DDU is great, but not always required. idk maybe im wrong lol
