Windows 10: Updating graphic drivers caused BSODs and game crashes, reverting didn't fix it.

HeyaA while back I updated my graphics drivers for my RTX3050 and my pc started BSODing and my games were crashing a lot. Before I got to test after the update I went on holiday so when I came back my first thought wasn't to roll back the driver. After updating Windows, many drivers, even my bios, I finally remembered that I updated my graphics drivers so I rolled back to an older version not the same older version, I know I reverted to slightly older than the one I previously had.I check the causes of my BSODs every time yet they are quite varied. Even before I rolled back my BSODs were qui

Game controller causes random BSOD

Your device list doesnt indicate any game controller. Not in driver-versions text file. What controller is it? Are you using the microsoft provided driver, a driver on a disk or ? If it was installed, i would suggest going into device manager and making sure the box in the image is unchecked. Yes its for my mouse, but same thing.

 

reverting to an older graphics driver

Windows 11 may be trying to revert your graphics driver back to an older version because it has detected a compatibility issue with the new driver. This could be due to a number of reasons such as a bug in the driver or an incompatibility with another piece of software on your computer.

However, if you have noticed a significant improvement in performance after installing the new graphics driver, then it may be worth trying to keep it installed. You can try disabling automatic driver updates in Windows 11 and manually installing the new driver again.

To disable automatic driver updates in Windows 11, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Start button and then click on the Settings icon.
   
2. Click on the Update & Security option.
   
3. Click on the Windows Update option.
   
4. Click on the Advanced options link.
   
5. Under the "Optional updates" section, click on the "Driver updates" option.
   
6. Turn off the toggle switch for "Automatically install drivers".
   

Once you have disabled automatic driver updates, you can download and install the new graphics driver again from the manufacturer's website. If Windows 11 still tries to revert the driver back to the older version, you can try using a third-party driver update tool to help you keep the newer driver installed.

Note: Before making any changes to your system settings, it's always a good idea to create a backup of your important files and data.

 

Gaming and Random Crashes.


Hi,

After some research and failing to find any solution i`ve decided to find help, have a gaming laptop (don`t judge me) and it used to work pretty well, until the latest Witcher expansion, i would be gettting a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION everytime i tried to start the game, some driver updates later and now i`m randomly getting the same BSOD so far i've tried.

• Updating GPU Driver.
• DDU the Drivers and do a clean install.
• running sfc/scannow

Unfortunately my internet time is limited and i couldn`t find any more steps.

Any help would be appreciatted, and sorry for the bad english.
