NVIDIA develops software drivers for Windows computers that control graphics cards and GPUs. When a user needs to install a new GPU from another manufacturer or uninstall NVIDIA from the computer, the user can use the Control panel, delete NVIDIA’s hidden folders manually or remove NVIDIA folders form the Registry. In cases where the standard driver uninstall fails, it is recommended to use an NVIDIA uninstaller named Displayed Driver Uninstaller. It is a driver removal utility, which allows users to remove all traces of NVIDIA, AMD and INTEL display and drivers from Windows. This enables a user to perform a clean install of new drivers without any potential issues of the previous versions.
