Do You Still Reinstall GPU Drivers Offline After Using DDU?

Post by skylerclooney »

Hey everyone,
I’m Skyler, just joined the forum today! I’ve been tinkering with my PC setup for a while, and after dealing with a messy GPU driver situation, I finally discovered Display Driver Uninstaller. Seriously, this tool saved me hours of frustration. Cleaned everything out, reinstalled fresh drivers, and my games finally stopped stuttering. Big thanks to Wagnardsoft for keeping this project alive!
I wonder after using DDU, do most of you reinstall drivers offline (no internet connection) to prevent Windows from automatically pulling old ones, or is that step not really necessary anymore on recent Windows builds?

Glad you like it.
As for driver reinstallation , it depends. If you tick in the DDU option the one that say it prevent windows update from installing the driver, it is ok to do it with internet connection.
But I guess most do what it work for them.
