How to install

Troubleshooting common issues

• Roll Back button greyed out - Windows no longer has the previous version cached. Install an older driver manually using the EXE or INF method above.
• Black screen or flicker after install - Boot into Safe Mode → run Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to clean NVIDIA components → reinstall the stable driver.
• Windows auto‑updates the driver - Open Windows Update advanced options → pause updates or use Group Policy/Device Installation Settings to prevent automatic driver updates.
• Code 43/Code 31 errors - Perform a clean install, ensure correct package for your GPU and OS, and check PSU/GPU seating.
• Installer fails with signature errors - On very old OS versions, ensure the package matches Windows 2000, Windows XP or use compatible legacy builds.
• Performance still poor - Reset NVIDIA Control Panel settings, clear shader caches, and verify game settings after rollback.
