    For anyone watch this, after you use DDU uninstaller in Safe mode and you restart your computer, TURN OFF YOUR INTERNET AS SOON AS YOU RESTART! What happened to me, while downloading a new driver, my internet was also downloading a 2017 driver was was negatively affecting the games i play because basically two different drivers are mixing info together. Turn internet off immediately after using DDU in safe mode and restarting and then download the new driver you have while OFFLINE and you should be good to go! Thanks again Santiago!

    Easiest pc related tutorial ever. I was getting frame drops and stuttering in Rocket League of all games. Other games also ran poorly but Rocket League can run on a potato, so I was worried my card might be going out. I did this and my performance picked back up to normal.

After a few months I noticed some small problems like GeForce exp overlay wasn't working correctly and In some games the longer I play the worse my fps gets. After following this simple instruction video all my drives are cleanly installed and so far no problems honestly thank you for a direct and to the point tutorial

    Good tutorial but the quickest way to safe mode is to hold Windows Key plus "R" then type msconfig and this will bring you to box that has 5 tabs , General, Boot, Services, Startup & Tools, click on boot and select safe boot, restart and done. Best to keep it simple rather than all that clicking through different blue screen stuff that to a newby looks quite daunting.
