How To Roll Back NVIDIA Drivers

In this video, I will be showing you how to roll back your NVIDIA graphics card driver to the previous driver version. Rolling back your NVIDIA driver, is a quick way to go back to an older previously installed driver version. You might decide to roll back your NVIDIA driver if you begin experiencing problems with your NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) after updating your driver to a newer or latest release. A roll back, could potentially solve GPU issues, if they only began to be noticed after a driver update. During this video guide, I demonstrate three methods on how you can roll back your NVIDIA GPU driver. The first two methods can be done on a Windows operating systems (OS) and the third method can be done on any OS that NVIDIA supports. It is important to keep in mind, that to perform an NVIDIA driver roll back, you must still have older NVIDIA driver installations remaining on your computer. If you performed a clean install during a NVIDIA driver update, you may have erased the older GPU drivers from your PC. In this case, you will need to downgrade your NVIDIA driver using method 3.
