Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a lightweight, portable utility that wipes GPU drivers clean—perfect for troubleshooting, upgrades, or switching between NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics cards. At just ~1.2 MB it runs on everything from Windows XP to Windows 11, no installation required.
What it does
- Removes the driver package and every leftover: registry keys, Program-Data folders, Vulkan Runtime, PhysX, GeForce Experience, AMD shader cache, etc.
- Works when Control Panel fails—safe-mode and offline operation block Windows auto-reinstall, giving you a truly clean slate.
- One-click workflow: launch → detect GPU → choose “Clean and Restart”. Done.
How to use
- Download the official build (no install; .NET 3.0+ required).
- Reboot into Safe Mode and disconnect the internet.
- Run DDU, pick your card vendor and click “Clean and Restart”.
- Install fresh drivers from the vendor’s site—no more conflicts or frame-rate drops.
Key benefits
- Fixes “driver won’t install”, black-screen or error 43 after swapping cards
- Prepares systems for clean OS clones or dual-boot setups
- Portable—keep it on a USB stick for tech-support calls
- Free, frequently updated, multilingual interface
Whether you’re a gamer chasing every FPS, a miner switching rigs, or an IT tech keeping workstations stable, DDU is the fastest route from driver chaos to crystal-clear performance.
