Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store).
Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers.
After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise.
If you"re having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems.
Recommended usage:
- The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best.
- Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe).
- It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues.
- You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU.
Requirements:
- .NET Framework 4.8
- Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit)
- Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk.
