When using the uninstall routines from AMD, Intel, or Nvidia, remnants often remain that can cause problems. To uninstall the existing graphics driver cleanly, you should always use “DDU” – “Display Driver Uninstaller.”
It is advisable to first download DDU and the new desired driver and then disconnect from the Internet so that Windows cannot immediately download and install any drivers via Windows Update. It is best to use it in safe mode.
Then you can run DDU and select the desired procedure (first the driver type, then how to proceed). After restarting, you can now install the new driver and then restore the Internet connection.
This is particularly useful when replacing the graphics card with another one.
