Download the NVIDIA driver slimming utility, it is exactly as it says so you can trim down your NVIDIA driver install base.

As described by the programmer uKER , having trimmed NVIDIA drivers for as long as he can remember, the man decided to make a utility to help make the modification and installation process more bearable. Now, this idea has transformed into an easy to use utility usable for the general public. With the tool, you can select the many modules that form the driver, and select what you need and/or want to be installed. Once you hit apply, it deletes the modules the user didn't choose, and offers the option to install the driver. The app is in early staged and will likely see some updates and improvements. Hope you find it useful. Any bug reports and/or suggestions are welcome, you can check out the dedicated forum thread where the author is active.

This is a great idea & utility. Much faster / easier than manually changing the driver set.

At first I had errors trying to run the package I created, but loading the official NVidia driver installer directly and installing via this utility worked perfectly. This serves as the ideal complement to Display Driver Uninstaller. Thank you for your efforts, and I encourage continued development of the project.

The idea seems perfect, but every time I tried to delete something, even supposedly with modified drivers, the whole package kept deleting. Hope this will work, finally.

I had skipped you over.
I didn't really get what's going wrong for you.
Care to explain exactly what you're doing?

This is why our members are awesome! Shout out to @uKER for this!

Just want to remind everyone though, if you have any issues please see the dedicated topic in the Nvidia Driver section.

GOSH! When I do a clean Windows installation after a major release ( 1709, 1803 etc ) only very few and extremely examined programs are being installed. This one became among one of those of priority ONE.

I'd like to express a true big thanks to creator. As I said above, nothing could work for me. Every time I was getting each proposed trick the package deleted itself. Not anymore and only the very essentials installed! Hurray!

P.S. 1: Wait, what? Now I saw it... Not even the telemetry service installed? Matey, you belong besides Zeus.

P.S. 2: I hope NVIDIA won't find and try to destroy it, because if they want, they could do it rather easily. I prey to Goddess Athens ( or Artemis or Demetra - pick one for god sake ). I can't pick 'cause I'm trembling by joy.
