Recommended usage:

-You MUST disconnect your internet or completely block Windows Update when running DDU until you have re-installed your new drivers.
-DDU should be used when having a problem uninstalling / installing a driver or when switching GPU brand.
-DDU should not be used every time you install a new driver unless you know what you are doing.
-DDU will not work on network drive. Please install in a local drive (C:, D: or else).
-The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best.
-If you are using DDU in normal mode, Clean, reboot, clean again, reboot.
-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.
Note: If you have issues for downloading the file, it could be one of your extension interfering with our hotlink protection.

Here is an application from one of my partners that we recommend.
It is a useful tool that may help you update outdated drivers.

Hello Wagnard, hope you're doing better

I'm glad this fantastic tool keeps getting updates, but there's a very small issue I can't seem to fix...
I updated DDU from v18.0.7.6 to v18.0.7.7, but after launching it I still have the popup for a newer version available.

In the "About DDU" tab it says my version is v18.0.7.6, yet I'm 100% sure I downloaded the latest version available from this exact post.
Uninstalling DDU, restarting my pc and reinstalling didn't work. Both the "Portable" and "Installer" versions of DDU seem to have this issue.
I tried this on two PCs, so I'm fairly certain this issue isn't only on my end...

Of course I don't want to put pressure on you or anyone else, the program works just fine even if it shows the wrong version, I just wanted to point out this little issue which I'm sure can be fixed easily

You are right. The current version is the new 18.0.7.7 but I forgot to change the internal number to 18.0.7.7 from 18.0.7.6
I will upload within an hour a new version that will not pop that there is a new update. sorry for that.

EDIT: FILES HAS BEEN UPDATED ! You may have to flush your browser cache to be able to get the new files

Hello, the problem persists, I just tried to update and after opening the program, it continues with the message and the version remains the previous one, I cleaned the cache and it didn't solve it.

I just tested both , the installer and the portable version and there seems to be no problems. Try to download via another browser.
