Managing your drivers is something that comes with the territory of using a Windows machine. Most of the work is handled automatically, but there are cases when a faulty driver can mess up the entire system — this is especially a problem when GPU drivers are involved. Getting rid of such an issue involves multiple steps, most of which entail booting into Safe Mode, and so on.

What if you had a program to help you with fixing your GPU and audio drivers? Irrespective of whether you want to start anew, or are looking to erase a faulty driver, Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is the tool for the job.

As this is a portable tool, no prior setup is required to get the program up and running: extract it, then launch the executable. Upon starting it for the first time, a message to provide users with a general overview about the app will be displayed. After that, you may use the software fully: the prerogatives of each function are all easy to grasp, the program even going as far as explaining their primary use-cases.

For instance, the tool claims that the Clean and Shutdown function is best used when installing a new graphics card, while Clean and Restart is most recommended when users want to install a new driver. It's worth mentioning that you'll have to select your GPU brand before commencing the process, likewise when erasing audio drivers.

By accessing the Options menu, users can tweak some of the tool's functions. It's recommended you toggle the system restore point creation feature, and if you want to save some storage, removing the driver folders helps cut on wasted space.

Besides that, various other GPU-specific options can be toggled, depending on your graphics card brand. The program can remove PhysX and GeForce Experience files from NVIDIA-powered systems, as well as uninstall AMD-specific functions, such as the Audio Bus, Crimson Shader Cache, and so on. What's more, you can even prevent Windows Update from interfering with your GPU updates via the settings.

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a handy utility to use when you want to completely uninstall your display or audio drivers, and the simple interface makes it easy for anyone to take advantage of the program.
