Prevent downloads of drivers from "Windows update" when "Windows" search for a driver for a device. In easy terms, this option will deny "Windows/Device Manager" from checking for a driver update on "Windows Update". Note: This doesn't prevent "Windows Update" from downloading/installing new drivers. Note2: It is also *HIGHLY* recommended to revert this change after you have finished using DDU and re-installed your GPU driver or else you may have a problem with other device installations.

(NVIDIA/AMD) What it does is remove the display/GPU driver from Device Manager and remove the current and all precedent driver(s) from the Windows Driver store along with removing services from NVIDIA/AMD. The current effect after you use this tool will be similar to if Windows was in a "Fresh Install" state. This tool acts much like "Driver Sweeper"*, and has all the extra mentioned above. If you have any problems installing an older driver or a newer one, give it a try as there are some reports that it fixes those problems. RECOMMENDED USAGE : - The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safe Mode is always the best. - We would like to gather feedback from everyone, tell us if it was successful or not. - Make a backup or a system restore point. (But it should normally be pretty safe.) - If you have or had a driver problem, and this tool helped you with some issues you were or are currently experiencing, please share your result. Keep in mind that NVIDIA, AMD, nor Microsoft can be held responsible for any damages to you or your computer and are in no way affiliates of DDU, or its creators. ------------------------------- Created by Wagnard.
