Before you start (important)​

2. Download the latest GPU driver for your card (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel).
3. Do NOT install the driver yet.

Step 2: Disconnect from the internet​

• Turn off Wi-Fi or unplug Ethernet
  (prevents Windows from auto-installing drivers).

Step 3: Boot into Safe Mode (recommended)​

1. Press Windows + R
2. Type msconfig → Enter
3. Go to Boot tab
4. Check Safe boot → select Minimal
5. Click OK → Restart
