Windows 10: Using Older Device Driver

Since the 20h2 update my Elgato Capture Card has been having issues. Elgato's recommendation was to use an older driver. Windows won't let me install the older driver. In the Advanced System Setting, I check "NO" for the auto download but if I uninstall the driver and restart, Windows just reinstalls the latest one again. The driver rollback option is greyed out, it won't let me do that.

Laptop driver/reformat question

This is excellent advice. Writing down the list of installed devices prior to re-formatting will save you a lot of heartache. With that list, you won't have to try to figure out exactly which wireless card or web cam driver you need since there will likely be several to choose from.
