Reinstall Steam VR

[ceooffice]

I need to reinstall steam VR. Will it remove all my games? I have 600GB Game library stored in D Drive.I dont want to touch my game library, I just want to reinstall only VR USB Drivers(HTC Vive). Thanks in advance.

No need to mess with Steam-VR
Just wipe the HTC Drivers and GPU Drivers and then reboot.
Then reinstall the drivers for both, starting with GPU first, reboot when done, then the Vive.

Which GPU and OS do you have?

Thanks
I have Windows 10 with Nvidia. Is it ok if I am uninstalling the drivers from Device Manager?

No, you don't handle them that way. Drivers that have installers, you uninstall everything that way, via Programs and Features.

Since it is a GPU we're talking about, the easier way to ensure all that gets wiped properly for the GPU is to run the DDU app and use that.

First, download the latest Drivers for your GPU and VIVE

NVIDIA > https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/138567

VIVE > https://www.vive.com/ca/setup

*Download them both, but do not run them.


For the DDU app, I have a post here with a guide and the official links regarding that.

DDU is the best means to wipe out GPU Drivers & Software in a safe manner and speeds up the process, rather than uninstalling them from Programs and Features.
