When I uninstall old drivers and install new ones I do the usual driver sweeper method. However, everytime I do this, after the restart from uninstalling the old driver, Windows will automatically install "its own driver", which is usually an older one.
I usually ignore this, wait for it to finish, uninstall the rest of the nvidia drivers, restart in safe mode, use driver sweeper, restart again and install my new drivers.
My question is should I be stopping Windows from forcing its version of the driver? If thats the case I have tried. gpedit.msc is what everyone says to do (aside from changing some windows update settings). I have OEM windows 7 64 bit home and apparently gpedit.msc is not on it, so I downloaded it, tried the method and it still did not work.
Am I over-analysing the problem? Would appreciate any help
