Ive noticed that the last few versions of DDU no longer boot into safe mode? It use to do it automatically when you selected a clean, but now it recommends "to boot into safe mode"...I wonder why they changed it? Its been ages since I ever booted into safe mode manually, I have no idea how to do it. I have read tapping F8 when you restart gets you into safe mode, but I tried this and nothing happened, the system booted normally...

Go to Options and check the option.

Change log from DDU Version 17.0.7.3

New in Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 17.0.7.3 (August 30th, 2017)

From now (by default) you have to go directly to Safe Mode manually and launch DDU there.

This is to prevent problem for users that have a broken Safe Mode and stuck in a loop because of the BCD changes.)

Note: The old behavior of being ask to go to Safe Mode automatically can be enabled in the Options.

Translation updates : Chinese (Simplified).xml Russian.xml

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) V17.0.8.1 Released.

Requirement:
-Windows XP up to Windows 10 Fall Creator update 1709 (16299.xx) (anything higher is at your own risk)
-NVIDIA, AMD, Intel GPUs

-If you are using DDU in normal mode, Clean, reboot, clean again, reboot.
-Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe).
-It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues.

Yeah that caught me by surprise when I did the clean install for Adrenaline, it's off in the device settings and the policy so by default the OS will not find or check for device drivers but it turns out that if the OS has no driver available it still does a check in the background but disabling net access and cleaning out whatever it downloaded (In my case it was 17.11.x something I think.) is easy enough but I do wish it could be more easily configured.

I don't think disabling the WU service itself is enough since the OS will re-activate the service if it can so net access seems to be the easiest and just turning the adapter off while you're installing and updating the device.
(And then the OS goes crazy for a few minutes because it can't access the net and then it goes crazy again running all kinds of stuff once net access has been restored. )

It's because this left over can cause issues (at least in the past) with NVIDIA , so I remove it. You dont need an AMD pci lower filter on the PCI driver.

Also, the removal of it is optional. Check the options. If you don't like it, just untick it.

Cool, I was just worried that it thought I had an AMD card.
