How to Roll Back a Driver in Windows

Updating a driver on your PC doesn7;t always work out well. Sometimes, they introduce bugs or simply don7;t run as well as the version they replaced. Luckily, Windows makes it easy to roll back to a previous driver in Windows 10. Here7;s how.

While driver updates generally go pretty well, that7;s not always the case. Often, updated versions introduce new features or fix bugs, but sometimes they bring new problems of their own. Those problems can range from poor performance to odd behavior to system-crashing bugs. Generally, we don7;t recommend updating drivers unless you7;re experiencing particular problems or need specific features that you know the update fixes or includes. In other words, don7;t fix what isn7;t broken. Still, sometimes you7;ll want to install new drivers and take a chance. Here7;s how to recover when that chance doesn7;t pay off.
