Rolling Back a Device Driver

If an updated device driver is giving you problems, you have two ways to fix things:

• If updating the driver was the last action you performed on the system, restore the system to the most recent restore point.

• If you’ve updated other things on the system in the meantime, a restore point might restore more than you need. In that case, you need to roll back just the device driver that’s causing problems.

Follow these steps to roll back a device driver:

1. Press Windows Logo+X and select Device Manager.

2. Double-click the device to open its Properties dialog box.

3. Display the Driver tab.

4. Click Roll Back Driver, and then click OK.
