About this tag
The DDU tool, or Display Driver Uninstaller, is a utility used to completely remove graphics drivers from a system. In a Windows 10 upgrade scenario, a user with dual Nvidia GTX 285 GPUs encountered a Code 12 error on the secondary GPU, indicating resource allocation failure. After using DDU to uninstall all drivers and reinstalling the latest recommended drivers, the issue persisted. The tool is commonly recommended for troubleshooting driver-related problems, especially after OS upgrades or when switching GPU brands, as it cleans leftover driver files that standard uninstallers may miss.
