Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.7
by WagnardDisplay Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a driver removal utility that can help you completely uninstall AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics card drivers and packages from your system, trying to remove all leftovers (including registry keys, folders and files, driver store).
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 when you need to thoroughly delete NVIDIA and ATI video card drivers.
The current effect after you use this driver removal tool 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.
If you have problem installing older driver or newer one, give it a try as there are some reports that it fix those 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.
Keep note that NVIDIA/AMD/INTEL did not have anything to do with this, I do not work at or for NVIDIA/AMD/INTEL and they should not be held responsible for anything that may go wrong with this application.

System Requirements:
.NET framework 4.8
Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 (32/64 bits) (Insiders preview is at your own risk)
ChangeLog:
Safe Mode handler service
- Improved : The helper service that brings the computer back out of Safe
Mode is now stored in a permanent location instead of the
temporary folder, where cleanup tools or antivirus could delete
it before the reboot.
- Improved : The service now verifies that the Safe Mode flag was really
removed, and retries instead of assuming it worked. If it still
fails while in Safe Mode, it stays installed so it can try again
on the next boot.
- Improved : The reboot into Safe Mode is now cancelled if that service could
not be installed, instead of restarting anyway. This service is
the only thing able to bring back a computer whose user cannot
sign in while in Safe Mode (forgotten password, PIN not
available there).
- Added : DDU now removes the leftovers of that service on startup
(service entry, registry keys and copied executable), including
leftovers created by previous DDU versions.
- Fixed : No more console window briefly flashing when the service is
installed or removed.
Intel cleanup
- Fixed : Two Intel services were left behind after a cleanup:
IGSDSserviceDiscrete (used by Arc / discrete graphics) and
PmtChildDriver.
- Fixed : Leftover display driver packages from recent Intel drivers could
stay in the driver store. Only the older driver file name was
recognized; the current integrated and discrete ones are now
recognized as well, older drivers still are.
Logs
- Fixed : Trying to stop a service that does not accept stop requests no
longer reports an error. It is now skipped with a clear message.
- Fixed : The log file is now written when DDU exits early during startup
(missing settings files, pending Windows reboot, administrator
rights refused).
Languages
- Updated : Hungarian.
