The Restore Driver feature is used to uninstall the current driver for a hardware device and then automatically install the previously installed driver. The most common reason to use the Driver Recovery feature is to "reverse" a driver update that went wrong.
Think of a driver rollback as a quick and easy way to uninstall the latest driver and then reinstall the previous one. The process is the same regardless of which driver you need to roll back.
Open the Device Manager. Doing it through the control panel (which that link explains in detail if you need it) is probably easiest.
