If you are experiencing system stability issues after updating your nvidia drivers on windows 10, you may need to roll back to a previous version. This can be a daunting task for those who are not familiar with the process, but with these simple steps, you can easily roll back your nvidia drivers and restore system stability.
Check for Compatibility
Before rolling back your nvidia drivers, it is important to check if the previous version is compatible with your system. You can do this by visiting the nvidia website and checking the driver release notes for your specific graphics card. If the previous version is compatible, proceed with the following steps.
Uninstall Current Drivers
To roll back your nvidia drivers, you will first need to uninstall the current drivers. To do this, go to the Control Panel and select “Programs and Features.” Find the nvidia drivers in the list of installed programs and select “Uninstall.” Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation process.
Download Previous Version
Next, you will need to download the previous version of the nvidia drivers. You can find this on the nvidia website by searching for your specific graphics card and selecting the “Previous Drivers” option. Download the appropriate version for your system.
Disable Automatic Driver Updates
To prevent Windows 10 from automatically updating your nvidia drivers again, you will need to disable automatic driver updates. To do this, go to the Control Panel and select “System and Security.” Then, click on “System” and select “Advanced System Settings.” Under the “Hardware” tab, click on “Device Installation Settings” and select “No (your device might not work as expected)” and click “Save Changes.”
Install Previous Drivers
Now, you can install the previous version of the nvidia drivers that you downloaded earlier. Follow the prompts to complete the installation process. Once the installation is complete, restart your computer.
Test System Stability
After rolling back your nvidia drivers, it is important to test the system stability to ensure that the issue has been resolved. If you are still experiencing stability issues, you may need to try rolling back to an even earlier version of the nvidia drivers.
Seek Professional Help
If you are still experiencing system stability issues after rolling back your nvidia drivers, it may be time to seek professional help. A computer technician can diagnose the issue and provide a solution to get your system running smoothly again.
By following these steps, you can easily roll back your nvidia drivers on Windows 10 and restore system stability. Remember to always check for compatibility and disable automatic driver updates to prevent future issues. If you are still having trouble, don’t hesitate to seek professional help.
