Situatie
- When you roll back a driver, Windows uninstalls the current driver and then re-installs the previous version. Note that Windows keeps the previous version of drivers around for just this purpose, but only the previous version—it does not keep an archive of even older drivers for you to select.

Open Device Manager:
Note: You’ll need to be signed into an account with administrator privileges to roll back a driver. Also, the feature is not available for printer drivers.
- As with any other such procedure, we do recommemand baking up the pc before getting started.
- Open up Device Manager by pressing Windows+X and then clicking the “Device Manager” option on the Power Users menu.
Roll-back the driver:
- In the Device Manager window, find the device that’s causing you problems (you might have to expand a category), right-click the device, and then click the “Properties” command.
- Click the Driver tab at the top of the window, and then click “Roll Back Driver”
- Windows prompts with a warning and asks you why you’re rolling back to a previous driver. Click a response and then click “Yes.” If you feel the need, you can leave a detailed response in the Tell Us More field, located at the bottom of the window.
- Windows then automatically restores your driver to the previous version, which could take up to 5-10 minutes, depending on the size of the driver. Video card drivers are much larger and take longer to roll back. Your PC might restart, after which your computer will be running the previous version driver.
