    Uninstall Nvidia display update from Windows Update


    Hello guys.

    Recently windows downloaded and updated Nvidia display drivers.
    Until that moment, everything was fine here. After that, i have some problems regarding my graphic card, such as "hardware acceleration", "windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)", i see a yellow exclamation mark next to my graphic card adapter in device manager, etc. I want to uninstall this update (Nvidia display - 23.21.13.8813), but until now i can't find a way do it.
    I tried to uninstall Nvidia drivers and install them again, i downloaded the most recent drivers and tried them, but i had no luck.

    This is the update i want to remove :
    Microsoft Update Catalog


    Does anyone has a clue how on earth i can uninstall that stupid update?

    Hi aagelos, welcome to he Forum.

    Have you tried Uninstalling the Driver from Device Manager. In your first screen shot click on the Driver Tab & see if the Roll Back button is available, if it is click on that & hopefully that will roll back to the previous one. If not Uninstall the Driver. You will have to reboot the computer to get either of these solutions to work.

    I never use Windows Update for updating hardware on my computer. My computer has the NVIDIA GT610 installed & lately I have been getting driver updates regularly directly from NVIDIA. A notification comes through the internet, to download & install the latest driver.

    Hello Ranger, thanx for your response!
    Unfortunately i have tried both options you mentioned, but still none worked!
    Roll back button is unavailable.
    I also have tried to uninstall the driver, and install a newer one (using "clean installation option"), but this didn't help either!

    Heya MeOnMine...

    I have tried everything you suggested, but still, this "code 43 error" is there!
    I 'm going crazy! Do you guys think that i should format HDD and reinstall OS ?

    Hi

    please run this tool
    Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 17.0.8.3

    REBOOT

    Your system will automatically pick up the built in windows driver (wddm 1.1)

    run your system for a while with these. Thier not that bad either- newer version available
    (or even keep it)

    Then create a restore point
    shoot over to Nvidea download the system check tool - let it choose then update

    Hey Roy.

    I have tried this too, just a couple of hours ago...
    I start in safe mode, and run DDU ver. 17.0.8.3 (the one you suggested) but the problem still persists!
    Maybe i wasn't clear enough. I can, and i already have uninstalled Nvidia drivers (the one i have downloaded from Nvidia site) .
    What i'm looking for is to uninstall the Nvidia drivers that Windows Update feature have automatically installed in my computer!

    Just have a look at the screenshot, is marked in red!

    Any update can be blocked - hidden -
    set your update options to let me choose
    highlight it
    then RIGHT click on it -- HIDE.

    note
    when the next version is issued you will have to do it to the new one.

    Or somewhere else?

    From the windows update GUI

    Change settings (top left)

    then as in screenshot

    note
    MeOnMine's settings should stop it beforehand,
