Thank you for the step by step. Even though the steps are straightforward, it was extremely intimidating for me to use ddu since my computer has caused me problems due to the graphics driver in the past. Your video helped me go through with it. Went just as smoothly as you showed. Thanks for the push!

@onlyxans6920 Жыл бұрын

for anyone with the issue i had.. where it doesn’t let you open ddu in safe mode cause something about accessibility.. you need to create a folder that ISN’T on your desktop. for example i put my folder into my “d” drive. which obviously isn’t on my desktop.. you have to make sure the extraction path DOESN’T go through “one drive” as that’s where you run into the “access” issue.

THANK YOU!! I kept getting "your graphics card is not supported" when trying to update my NVIDIA driver for the past few months (I have an RTX 3080 if it helps others with this issue). I'm not a computer geek, so I was very nervous about doing a fresh driver install, but this video walked me through it PERFECTLY! The driver updated fine and stopped my FPS stuttering in game. If it happens again, I'll be referring to this video again for another fresh install. New sub here! 😊

Hey TroubleChute! I was recently watching a guide of how to get better connectivity and less ping over on your devices, did some stuff (Although I have no idea what how this could'eve caused a problem) played some games and saw that there were performance/fps dips, and my CSGO getting stuck at 30-40 fps, and then spiking for some reason to 200 and more which is very weird. Also it generally started acting off, not crashing my games but doing very very slight Micro Stutters here and there. I will now follow through your guide, hopefully that helps me out! Plus my laptop is brand new and seeing these results really made me nervous. Thank you once again, and i will text the results in my comment section.

How is It now Bro? I am having the same problem as yours. My Pc is working Fine But There's a problem when playing CSgo too. Normally run in 240Fps now 60-100FPs and stutters alot.

THANK YOU THANK YOU, my computer was black screening on me and fps was below 10 on every game with the 7900xtx when it didn't do this before. I was scared it was a hardware issue and not a software but I tried to run a benchmarker and found my GPU wasn't registering. Then I followed your steps and it works now.😅

When you say black screen do you mean it would randomly go black and remain that way until a restart? Because that's what's happening with my PC.

I can hear music or the interaction noise when I press somewhere on the game but doesn't see any. Thanks as well!

Another reason why your background may change is because you moved your background location and windows didnt update. After setting it back it still doesnt update. Changeing the background to somehting else and then back to the one that wasnt working should fix it.
