display driver uninstaller safe mode really necessary

Restart in Safe Mode and use Display Driver Uninstaller to remove any traces that might be left.ĥ.

Uninstall previous drivers in the usual manner, and ensure no Nvidia entries remain in the ‘Uninstall’ list.Ĥ. Disconnect from the internet and do not allow Windows to update (otherwise it may automatically reinstall graphics driver).ģ.

Download official driver from Nvidia site (leave as executable file, don’t extract).Ģ. This is the text file I have on-hand to remind me of the steps involved each time I use it (YMMV, depending on individual requirements).ġ. I looked and there’s far fewer folders left behind, and no new tasks.

My vid card supports it though I do not use it. It worked fine except the ‘HD Audio via HDMI’ still got installed somehow even though I didn’t select it. I chose custom and the only options shown where the first two I had picked previously. Once you make your choices and hit install, the NVidia installer opens and does the actual installation. I selected display driver, physx, Ansel, and NVContainer (you need the last for the NVidia control panel). (Sorry, dunno you, block) I just pointed it at the folder I extracted from the NVidia package. It defaults to downloading drivers so it requests internet access when you open it. I used DDU first because there’s alot to remove, folders, reg keys, tasks. 1st I downloaded the full driver package from NVidia and used winrar to extract it all into folders.Ģnd I downloaded Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) V18.0.0.8 ( )
