Ok, So I just got my first desktop pc, And I'm Loving it. There's an major ptoblem tho. After I installed the new gpu drivers almost every game crashes and some games just crash my whole pc. It is an gpu driver problem and How am I supposed to uninstall it? I mean Im thinking that cuz my hdmi cable is connected to the gpu (3070) And After I uninstall the drivers to install it again then there will be no display. Cuz the system wont recognize the gpu because I uninstalled the drivers. And I cant just plug the Hdmi to the motherboard cuz there is no integrated graphics. If the solution is hard then I will just reinstall the windows 11. I hope you can understand that whats happening in my mind, Also if there is an method to just uninstall directX and reinstall it directly then please tell it to me. I hope there is an solution to this.Note: Roll back driver is grayed out, And I installed the driver manually.

You can return to the previous driver version for a device like this:

  • Run Device Manager
  • Right-click your device and select Properties
  • Position to the Driver tab
  • Click Roll Back Driver.

If the drivers were updated automatically by Windows (not through your actions), to block such update see this answer.

Your assumption that you will lose all video through the GPU without a GPU driver installed is wrong. Basic functionality, without hardware acceleration, will work if the driver is uninstalled.

Windows 11 has an older NVIDIA Graphics driver integrated and it will be automatically resinstalled, although updating to the most recent driver is generally recommended.

It is not possible to unistall DirectX and install it only, or to use DirectX for meaningful acceleration without a driver. DirectX is an API that allows games to use GPU features for acceleration without having to programed to each and every GPU ever manufactured.

Suggested course of action:

  1. Download the latest driver for your GPU from www.nvidia.com/drivers
  2. Install the newer driver, select the "Custom (Advanced)" installation option, and then the option to "Perform a clean installation"
  3. Reboot as required, and again after the installation is completed
