Windows 10: Is there a way to undo driver updates?

Hi guys!

Recently i downloaded Driver Easy to scan any outdated drivers on my laptop. However, after installing all of them (some 16 updates i think), my laptop began lagging quite badly afterwards. As I dont really remember what drives I had updated, is there a way to reset all of them to their previous versions? Or at least found out which ones are causing it to lag?

Thanks in advance!

This issue may have occurred due to driver incompatibility. To isolate your concern, we'd like to ask the following questions:

• Have you tried to use the same mouse on a different PC? If yes, what was the result?
• What other troubleshooting steps have you done aside from the one provided by
