    Looks very easy, but when following your clear proces I broke down at the knop ‘Roll back driver’ as it could not be touched. It was grey.

    Unable to do it, however easy

      Hi Kees Kort,

      Thank you for your comment.

      If the button is grey out, it means there is no need to roll back the driver. If you have any hardware issues, you can try updating the driver.

        Hi Camilla, Same issue tried to roll back the driver and it is greyed out. I want to roll it back as the new nvidia driver is complete garbage. It has made my entire system buggy. Is there is a way to still somehow do this?
