What it means

A trusted free tool that scrubs every trace of a graphics driver so you can install a fresh one cleanly. It's the "factory reset" for your GPU driver.

More detail

DDU stands for Display Driver Uninstaller. You don't need it for routine updates — those install fine on their own. Reach for it when something's actually wrong: weird artifacts, a botched install, or switching graphics card brands. Run it, then install the vendor's current driver.

The Compy Blackbook holds 174 graded entries like this one, judged against your hardware — and every change it does make is reversible, with the receipt to prove it.
