Nvidia's GeForce Experience software makes it incredibly easy to update the graphics driver whenever a new version is released. It's a fairly simple process that only takes a few minutes to complete. However, GeForce Experience doesn't make it as easy to roll back your Nvidia drivers to previous versions.

This can be a huge problem for some users who encounter issues with their graphics drivers and need to roll back their GPU drivers to fix them. Luckily, there are a few ways to uninstall graphics drivers and replace them with a more stable prior version.

How to roll back Nvidia drivers using Device Manager

One of the easiest ways to roll back the Nvidia drivers on your PC is by using the Windows Device Manager.

1. Press the Start button on your Windows PC, search for Device Manager, and click on the result to open it.
2. Double-click on the Display Adapter option to reveal the graphics cards or chips installed on your PC.
3. Right-click on the Nvidia graphics card on the list and select Properties.
4. Select the Driver tab on the Properties window.
5. Select the Roll Back Driver option.
6. Choose the reason why you are rolling back, and confirm your selection by pressing Yes.

Your Windows system will now roll back the drivers. Be patient and wait for it to be completed, following which you'll see your driver date and version change to the previous driver that you had installed on your computer.

How to roll back Nvidia drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller

If rolling back a few graphics drivers isn't going to fix it, and you'd rather have a clean install, then luckily you can use a third-party tool like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU). This tool is perfect if the previous section couldn't help or if you are changing CPU/GPU brands on your PC.

The utility will suggest you reboot into Safe Mode before continuing. You can theoretically ignore this and proceed with the uninstallation, but it's recommended that you do reboot your PC in Safe Mode.

1. After you have downloaded and installed the application, launch DDU and proceed with default settings.
2. Select GPU and choose your graphics card from the drop-down menu on the right side.
3. Click the Clean and restart button, which is located on the left side.
4. DDU will now run the uninstaller, and it'll ask for your confirmation to reboot.
5. Once the system reboots following a successful uninstallation, open the web browser of your choice, and head over to Nvidia's driver download center.
6. Select the GPU, operating system, and the correct type of driver, and hit the Search button.
7. Select the appropriate driver of your choice. You'll see a bunch of old drivers too, so pick the right one to roll back to. Click Download and then click Download again on the next page to begin downloading the driver.
8. Run the downloaded installer and simply follow the on-screen steps to install it. Wait for the installation to finish and then click Close.

Make sure you select the right operating system while downloading the required drivers from Nvidia's website, and you should be good to go.

It's not perfect, but it works

Those are the two simple ways to roll back the Nvidia graphics drivers that are installed on your PC. It would have been nice to see the option to roll back the drivers within the GeForce Experience software, but there is no way to do that just yet.

It is, however, fairly easy to roll back the drivers manually, so you shouldn't have any issues trying to go back to a previously installed driver for your graphics card. Those who are still using a Windows 10 PC can also follow the same methods highlighted above to roll back Nvidia drivers, as the overall process remains the same.
