Windows 7 Home on notebook. I installed optional update for nVidia (Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3, Other hardware - NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS). Although everything is working normally and I dont have errors, I noticed that this update mainly intended for improving gaming performance, and has installed a varios extra stuff, nVidia 3D Vision Driver, Graphic Driver 327.02, Update 1.14.17 As I don't use my laptop for gaming, I don't really need this update. How to unistall this update properly, all it components and registry entries? Also, I think driver update removed the previous drivers during the installation process.

Well, this is an obvious way. Will it remove all traces of the driver, include registry entries? How then to install default graphic driver?– Lexx LuxxDec 19, 2013 at 11:48

this should remove all parts. You can extract the Exe and use the device manager to only update the GPU driver.– magicandre1981Dec 19, 2013 at 18:08

should I do system restore in addition after uninstalling driver to roll back Windows state?– Lexx LuxxDec 20, 2013 at 0:44
