I've upgraded to Windows 10 21H2 x64 a few weeks ago and I was having some problems with my GPU driver. So I decided to uninstall it and start fresh using DDU as it almost always fixed the problems with my GPU driver.
I've booted Windows into safe mode (without network connection), ran DDU, and for the first time ever, I get an error message asking me to report to dev. I have the log files and I've tried to uninstall my display driver using the latest version v18.0.5.4 and two older versions ( v18.0.4.9 - v18.0.4.3 ) and still got the same error.
I couldn't find a way to report the error directly to the dev. Sorry if I'm posting about it in the wrong place.
I've posted a thread about it at guru 3d forums: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/sapph ... st-6047679
and here's when things go wrong according to the log files:

I've been using DDU years, wanted to say thank you as well.
