In this video, I will show you how to roll back your NVIDIA graphics card driver to the previous driver version. Rolling back your NVIDIA driver is a quick way to revert to an older, previously installed driver version. You may decide to roll back your NVIDIA driver if you start experiencing issues with your NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU) after updating your driver to a newer or newer version. A rollback could potentially fix the GPU issues, if they only started to be noticed after a driver update. During this video guide, I show three methods to restore your NVIDIA GPU driver. The first two methods can be applied on a Windows operating system (OS) and the third method can be applied on any NVIDIA supported operating system. It is important to keep in mind that to perform an NVIDIA driver rollback, you must still have old NVIDIA driver installations on your computer. If you performed a clean install during an NVIDIA driver update, you may have erased old GPU drivers from your PC. In this case, you will need to downgrade your NVIDIA driver using method 3.
Steps to restore NVIDIA graphics card drivers:
Method 1: Roll back NVIDIA driver using Windows Device Manager
1. Right-click on the Windows Start icon in your taskbar
2. Click Device Manager
3. Find Graphics Adapters and click the drop-down arrow next to it.
4. Find your NVIDIA GPU and right-click on it
5. Click Properties
6. Click on the Driver tab
7. Click Roll Back Driver
8. Select a reason for driver rollback
9. Click Yes
10. Once your Device Manager is refreshed and the /"Roll Back Driver/" button is grayed out, your driver rollback has been successful and is now complete. You can now close the driver properties of your NVIDIA device adapters by clicking Close.
Method 2: Install the previous version of NVIDIA driver using Windows Device Manager
1. Repeat steps 1-6 of Method 1 above
2. Click Update Driver
3. Click /"Browse my computer for drivers/"
4. Click /"Let me choose from a list of drivers available on my computer/"
5. Select the NVIDIA driver version you want to revert to
6. Click /"Next/" to initiate the restore and begin installing the previous version of the NVIDIA driver.
7. Click Close
8. Click /"Close/" again to exit Device Manager and finish restoring the NVIDIA driver.

Note: Only use method 3 if the previous NVIDIA driver is not yet installed on your device or if you are using an operating system other than Windows.
Congratulations, you have successfully restored your NVIDIA GPU driver.
