552.12 - Clean Version

Hello! What if i don't want hda driver? should I simply delete hda folder before i run setup?

 

You can do a custom install and uncheck the audio driver. This doesn't remove that option, or you can download NVSlimmer and do it yourself.

Thanks! Just was curious if the ui is kept in the installer.

 

UI stays intact the only things that happen are folders removal and setup.cfg is modified.

 

Good to know, thanks again. But what about telemetry, as i've understood it also kept inside somehow in the unknown form?

 

1. Open File Explorer / Explorer.
2. Go to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Display.NvContainer\plugins\LocalSystem
3. Delete DisplayDriverRAS
4. Go to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\
5. Delete DisplayDriverRAS folder.

EDIT: Don't forget to make backups in case something gets messed up.

 

Can I put this on a USB stick and then install on a machine?
Or do I have to first transfer to the hard drive?

 

So I was able to install it off of the USB thumb drive. You can carry it from machine to machine with just one copy on the thumb drive.

 

Updated to v466.47

Hi,

I can´t access again to the last two folders at MEGA archive (uncrypted folder), although I can see the rest of them.

Could you fix it?

Thanks

 

Thanks for update clean driver, really appreciate.

Hi,

I would like to do a clean version of an Studio Driver (just for test).

Can I just follow the steps on your guide or should I do anything else?

Thanks.

 

I just did that to the May Studio driver yesterday using NVSlimmer 0.11, and it worked perfectly. It defaults to the two mandatory driver folders, and PhysX, and I didn't need to select anything else before I let it perform the install. (I don't use the RTX card's USB C or HD Audio functions)

 

Yes. It works with studio driver last time I checked.

 

Hi thanks for sharing these clean drivers. I need to install them on my lenovo 5 pro (3070) but it takes only DCH driver... so can't install any of your drivers, may someone help me please ? how to convert ?

thanks

 

@MajorMagee & @PowerK

Thanks to both

 

Did you use DDU for remove them?

 

yes sir.

 

Im trying to install on my notebook (asus tuf 15 dash with 3060gpu and Iris) and also got problems. I've grabbed this version:

Fresh win10 installation gave me 461.73 DCH driver from Windows Update.
Safe mode + DDU to clean that DCH driver and disable WU from downloading and installing any drivers in future.
Setup.exe says that this driver is not compatible with my windows version (im at 19042.985 20H2) and also there is no compatible hardware detected in my notebook.

another note that two of the latest clean version cannot be viewed/downloaded on MEGA because folder/files are encrypted and awaiting for crypto key

[EDIT]
tried also RTX 465.89-notebook-win10-64bit-international-whql from mega archive got same errors

 

So the Advanced install mode through the NVIDIA driver install secretly installs other crap even if you only have drivers selected? I ran slimmer before installing the driver through the NVIDIA option and the options were the same between the two.
