Roll back a Driver and Restore Driver Updates
The best practice when it comes to computer hardware drivers is to always keep them up to date. Usually newer versions of drivers bring with them better compatibility, more stability and sometimes new features. Why wouldn’t you want to upgrade? Because some times after upgrading you might start seeing one of these:
Well sometimes new drivers that are released (especially BETA versions of drivers) can actually cause problems including Blue Screens, crashes and hardware malfunction. If you have found yourself in the situation where you have recently updated a driver and since then have been having problems then don’t panic, this problem can be fixed. Below I have listed two methods for reverting back to a previous version of a driver. The first method is using the Windows Device Manager utility and the second method is using Driver Reviver, our award-winning driver update tool.
The Windows Device Manager is where all pieces of hardware on your computer are listed. You can find the device you are looking for in this list to roll back to an older version of the driver that is installed for it.
To access the Device Manager you need to first go the the Control Panel (you can access this through the Start Menu) and then once there open ‘Device Manager’. Once you have opened the Device Manager you need to follow these steps to roll back a driver to a previous version:
If you have been using Driver Reviver to keep your drivers up to date then the process for rolling back to an older version of a driver is even easier. Driver Reviver has a Backup feature that allows you to restore a previous driver in just a few easy steps. Here’s how:
Hopefully this has helped you with what ever problem you were experiencing. If not please leave me a comment below and I will do my best to help you.
