On Windows 10<\/a>, you can always use the manufacturer uninstaller and Device Manager to uninstall graphics drivers. However, sometimes the process won’t complete successfully, or it’ll remove the packages, leaving behind leftovers that may cause problems when installing new drivers, and this is when “Display Driver Uninstaller”<\/strong> (DDU) comes in handy.<\/p>\n

“Display Driver Uninstaller” is a tool that uninstalls AMD and Nvidia graphics drivers completely without leaving behind any registry keys, files, folders, or driver store when the uninstall fails, or you need to delete the graphics card driver completely.<\/p>\n

In this guide<\/a>, you will learn the steps to use the Display Driver Uninstaller tool to delete Nvidia and AMD graphics drivers from Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Warning:<\/strong> This is a third-party application offered “as-is.” Use it at your own risk. Before continuing, creating a full backup<\/a> is highly recommended to revert the changes if something wrong happens. In addition, it’s recommended to disconnect your computer from the internet until you reinstall the display driver.<\/span><\/div>\n
