How to revert to a previous version of a driver in Windows 10

Windows 10

While it is essential to keep the drivers in Windows 10 up to date, it may be that at some point there is a new version that gives us operating problems. It is not something that happens frequently, but it may have happened to one of you. In these cases, there is a possible solution. Since you can revert and go back to a previous version of the driver in question. Thus, this problem is avoided.

It is something that can be done without installing third-party programs. Windows 10 allows us to do this natively. So if at a certain point you have a problem with a driver, you can do this. We show you the steps to do next.

To do this, we must first go to the search bar on the Windows 10 taskbar. There we must enter the term Device Manager, to go to it. When this option appears in the list, we click on it to open it. Here we are going to have to look for the device whose driver is giving problems.

Driver reverse

Once the device on which we want to make changes is located, we right-click and enter the properties option that appears in the list. Within the properties we enter the controller tab. There we will see that there are several buttons, one of them is the Revert to the previous controller.

We then have to click on it, to return to the previous version of this driver in Windows 10. So we will be asked for a reason why we do this. Any of them can be selected. When we have done this, we must restart the computer, so that the steps are saved.

So Windows 10 will remove new software for this driver, the one that was giving us problems. In this way, we return to the previous version of it, with which we have not had operating problems at any time. This completes the process.
