I experienced a recent driver issue on Windows 10 Home. Initially, removing the driver and checking the deletion option resolved it, but the faulty driver reinstalled itself afterward. During the second attempt, I used a rollback, which hasn’t caused the problem to return yet. I’m wondering if a rollback offers a more lasting fix compared to simply uninstalling and deleting, and whether it will remain effective until I can apply a manufacturer-provided patch.

Remove the software, which will force a reinstall of the newest available version. Reverting is clearly meant to return to the prior installation you were using.

I see what you mean about the lasting effects of rollback versus uninstalling. At this stage, it seems the difference isn’t significant. Still, I’m curious—does Windows tend to be more cautious about updating a driver that the user deliberately rolled back?
