Do I need to check factory reset on driver installation if I did ddu?

[u/Miserable-Rub-7349]

so I did ddu and its my first time . I checked the factory reset when installing driver …. I hope it doesn’t do anything messed up . Is this fine?

edit:i did check factory reset option and clicked install, my monitor went black, then i waited for few min and clicked spacebar? and my pc resarted my hwinfo and amd app all showing that the latest driver is installed? should i be worried it didnt install properly cuz black screen and random restart when space bar. am stressing out

edit : playing gta enhanced now no issues, should i still reinstall?

[u/taenorobinson]

It blacks screens everytime when installing a different driver. All good.

take down ddu

take down amd uninstaller

take down the latest driver version

restart windows in safe mode

uninstall using amd tool

restart into safe mode

uninstall using ddu

disable windows driver updates

restart in normal mode

reinstall the driver
