How to remove the NVIDIA driver from the system entirely

It is believed that the drivers for NVIDIA graphics cardsno need to delete. For example, when upgrading, older versions are replaced with new ones automatically. However, despite this approach, in some cases there are failures related to updates, or system problems (driver conflicts) when replacing a video card. And then the most urgent question is how to uninstall the NVIDIA driver entirely. Below you will find the simplest and fastest ways to do this for any user.

How to uninstall the NVIDIA driver during the update?

Let's start with the simplest. Suppose that automatic updating for some reason did not work. What to do in this case?

To get started, download the newest driver withthe official website of the developer, and then run the installation program. When the window for selecting the type of installation appears, use a selective installation, and then specify a "clean" installation. Further simply we wait for the termination of process. In this case, you can be completely sure that the old profiles and drivers will be completely removed from the system and replaced with a new version.

How to completely remove the driver: standard procedure

But what to do when the problems are described aboveway are not solved. You can remove the driver from the Device Manager, but the system will install it again during the restart. In this case, you need to use the standard section of programs and components in the Control Panel.

How do I uninstall the NVIDIA driver? Very simple! It is necessary to select all components of NVIDIA, sort them by the developer's name, and then use the standard uninstall procedure. It is important to take into account that with this method the removal does not always go smoothly. First, deleting each component manually is too long. Secondly, not all components are uninstalled (there are a lot of garbage files, entries in the system registry, etc.). Then to look for everything that was left after uninstallation, it's a thankless task.

Use of specialized utilities

It is better to ask for helpprograms that will do all the work for the user of the computer system. You could, of course, advise the application Driver Sweeper, but it works exclusively in Windows 7 and earlier versions of the system, but the eighth and tenth modifications do not support. How then to enter?

For this situation, the question of how to removethe NVIDIA driver is completely and completely solved by using the universal program Display Driver Uninstaller. However, it is necessary to perform all actions only in a safe mode. The program automatically determines the boot mode of the system and at the normal start prompts the user to go to Safe Mode. Next, the utility automatically detects all available components and uninstalls them without user intervention. This application is also convenient because it allows you to refuse even the use of PhysX.

An equally interesting solution to the question of howremove the driver NVIDIA, is the use of the most powerful of its kind program iObit Uninstaller. If you look at the program section, you'll notice that it's somewhat similar to the standard view of a similar Windows partition. The difference is that you can immediately select all components, then the standard uninstallation procedure will be started, and then a powerful scan will be performed, during which all residual files and registry keys will be detected. To complete the uninstallation process, you must delete all found objects and check the box for deleting files.

Instead of the total

That's all about removing drivers. These solutions, which use standard methods and special programs, do not apply only to NVIDIA software products and graphics chips. They can easily be used to uninstall the drivers of any other device, and iObit Uninstaller is also for software components, not to mention various kinds of panels in browsers, and so on.
