Driver rollback

I had a WiFi issue with latest WiFi drivers from my motherboards website, since then I’ve done a clean install and using much older WiFi drivers without issues, (touch wood).

I would like to be certain it was the latest drivers causing the issues, so if I updated to latest drivers again, is it easy to roll back to previous drivers?

In device manager, under driver tab I can see a rollback driver option. I’ve never attempted it before so just curious if it’s a simple process clicking on that if I have an issue?

Thanks

in theory it should rollback
but i would have an image backup just in case
or at very worst at least a system restore point as a better
than nothing at all

if its working fine
unless the newer driver gives a specific advantage
sometimes better to leave it as is

I tested again with new driver and immediately same issue, clicked rollback and it did just that, so all good now.

At least I know the latest driver definitely has an issue for me, so will stay clear.
