: Does the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) even launch?
: Does the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) even launch?
I just had to put in a new graphics card, and now it's making everything break. The drivers aren't working right at all. Any time I try to install something, Windows usually crashes with some random error message. If I finally force my way through the problem, the drivers get corrupted straight away, and then Device Manager gives me a Code 31 error. So before I looked for help online, I decided it would be easier to just wipe all old drivers using DDU, even though AMD's "Factory Reset" didn't work properly. When I opened DDU, nothing happened. No single window ever popped up. The Task Manager showed no new windows appeared either. I tried running as Administrator and that did nothing too. Safe mode was also not an option because my old install worked fine before. A fresh install from the official site also didn't help anything. It feels like I'm clicking on a blank file, or just empty space in File Explorer, because literally nothing is responding to any commands I give it. I can only guess that this problem might be connected to what broke all my other PC parts; I just need someone to fix either the graphics card issue OR whatever else went wrong with the rest of the computer. OS: Windows 11 Pro x64 Version 21H2 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X RAM: 32GB DDR5-4800 CL40 Motherboard: MSI MPG B650I EDGE GPU: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 6750 XT
I would try and put up a bootable USB install for Windows 11 then reinstall the operating system after backing up all important stuff from the computer. If you can't get the program to run when you need more power, it might be too broken to fix at all. This could mean some of your problems are already there. Just remember: make sure to start the install in a special "high level" mode so you have full control. You also should download and put up any extra drivers needed for your computer using that same high level mode, like when you right click on the installer and hit Run as Administrator. If Windows tries to look at things instead of just asking for permission, it will likely break things down more. What version of BIOS do you have installed in your motherboard?
Bios version: F7 It's really not helpful to jump to reinstallation as your first instinct. Yes, obviously if I threw everything out and built a new computer all my problems would be fixed. But there's nothing wrong with the OS, it was working perfectly fine on the old Graphics card and runs stable in safe mode. Every other program works perfectly, just specifically not DDU. My goal is to fix the one problem I have without having to completely destroy my current installation.
