In certain cases, depending on the driver you are cleaning, you may be required to restart into safe mode.
If this is the case simply follow on screen instructions.
This ensures that all driver traces are removed.
5. The cleaning process takes around 30 seconds to 1 minute depending on the complexity of the driver being cleaned.
Once the cleaning process is complete, you can click Show Details to see what has been cleaned on your system. It's also advisable to restart your system before installing a new driver although not required.
