The AMD/Nvidia/Intel video drivers can normally be uninstalled from the Windows Control panel, this driver uninstaller program was designed to be used in cases where the standard driver uninstall fails, or whenever you need to thoroughly delete Intel, Nvidia or ATI/AMD video card drivers.

What is Display Driver Uninstaller and when should I use it?

Display Driver Uninstaller is a tool designed to completely remove GPU drivers and related registry entries from your system. It's often used when upgrading graphics cards, switching between Nvidia and AMD drivers, or troubleshooting driver-related issues that standard uninstallers fail to resolve.

Can DDU fix issues like black screens, crashes, or poor performance?

It can help in cases where those issues are caused by corrupted or conflicting drivers. While not a guaranteed fix for every problem, many users have resolved persistent graphical glitches, crashes, or performance drops by using DDU to perform a clean reinstall of their GPU drivers.

Do I need to reinstall drivers manually after using DDU?

Yes, after running DDU and restarting your computer, you'll need to install your GPU drivers manually. It's recommended to download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website beforehand so you can install them immediately after rebooting.

Why should I run DDU in Safe Mode and not normal mode?

Running DDU in Safe Mode ensures that Windows doesn't interfere with the uninstallation process by loading GPU drivers in the background. This allows for a cleaner and more complete removal, minimizing the chance of driver remnants causing issues later.

What's New:

The current effect after you use this driver removal will be similar as if its the first time you install a new driver just like a fresh, clean install of Windows. As with any tool of this kind, we recommend creating a new system restore point before using it, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems.

This tool acts similar to what other driver cleaner programs do + the extra mentioned above. If you have problem installing older driver or newer one, give it a try as there are some reports that it fixes those problems. It is important to do a system restore point before as with any tool like this one, it is better be on the safe side and have a backup.
