What is the Roll Back Driver feature?
Rating:
Roll Back Driver is a feature of Device Manager that restores the previous device driver that was installed on a computer before the driver was updated. Windows supports driver rollback for all devices except printers. Rolling back a driver is available only on devices that have new drivers installed. When a driver is updated, the previous version is stored in the %system_root%system32
einstallbackups folder. Rolling back a driver uses this folder to revert to a previous version. A user should roll back a driver when he does not want to affect other system configurations or drivers and is assured that the current driver is causing problems.
