The Roll Back Driver feature, available within Device Manager in all versions of Windows, is used to uninstall the current driver for a hardware device and then automatically install the previously installed driver.

Think of rolling back a driver as a quick and easy way to uninstall the latest driver, and then reinstall the previous one, all in one simple step.
The process as described below is the same no matter what driver you need to roll back, whether it be an NVIDIA video card driver, advanced mouse/keyboard driver, etc.
