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 1 of my partner that we recommend.
It is a useful tool that may help you update outdated drivers.

I just used this for the first time and now the desktop and taskbar disappeared. I don't know how to do anything because I'm actually on bootcamp and the command/windows key is also not working (it was working before). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, When using DDU, it tries to restart explorer.exe Sometime it will kill it but not restart it. just try a CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring the task manager and then under file , you will have the options to type explorer.exe and it will load back everything. I guess you selected the option to clean and not reboot ?
