The folks over at TechPowerUp have released a nifty little program to help assist in the ever feature growing drivers from Nvidia. This new tool is called NVCleanstall. From telemetry to features that not all users want, or need, our display drivers have been accumulating things at astonishing rates in recent years. A number of people have mentioned workarounds for these various issues and there are other programs out there to do similar tasks but perhaps not a nicely as this one. Take a gander at just some of the optional items you can check or leave unchecked for an install.

Elegant in it’s simplicity there’s probably a lot of users who might find this tool useful. Maybe you don’t need anything related to Ray Tracing/DLSS. Maybe you're not going to use HDMI audio or a Shield Wireless controller. Of course there’s good old Telemetry. Sure Nvidia drivers do give us some of these choices but definitely not quite on this scale. If nothing else I recommend giving it a shot just to see if it suits your needs and they also have more screenshots showing other steps and options.

Unfortunately not at the moment. At least not from them. I did see at least one user in their forum asking the same but hadn't seen a response yet.

What happened to DDU?

It's still around this is more for the install process instead of uninstall. Another great tool to have on hand especially for those occasional drivers that bork something.
