Hi,

DDU is not uninstalling the Intel Driver & Support Assistant, which comes with the Intel graphics driver and helps keep the driver up to date. Could an option be added in DDU to remove the Intel Driver & Support Assistant?

Thanks.

Hi, it is something that is planned.

If you want it gone, the best way is still to uninstall IDSA manually from Windows Apps, then reboot. Trying to bundle it into DDU could be risky since IDSA also manages non-graphics Intel drivers.

Agree, and that is why if added, it will not be enabled by default.

DDU is mainly focused on removing display drivers, not additional companion tools like Intel Driver & Support Assistant. For now, the safest way is to uninstall Intel DSA manually via Apps & Features (or Programs and Features) before or after running DDU.

Adding support for removing it directly in DDU could be convenient, but since DSA isn’t strictly part of the graphics driver, manual removal is probably why it’s not included.

You can try another tool.

Hi, that’s a fair request and you’re not the first to notice it. DDU is mainly focused on removing display drivers and related core components, so tools like the Intel Driver & Support Assistant tend to fall outside its current scope. That said, having https://tropical-casino.com an optional checkbox to remove it would definitely be useful, especially for people who want a truly clean driver environment. For now, the only reliable way to remove it is through Windows Apps & Features or Intel’s own uninstaller. It might be worth suggesting this directly to the DDU developer, as an optional feature rather than default behaviour.
