So, long story short, I went to the website presented in the video (not realizing that links were provided in the description) and downloaded the most recent DDU available. I should note that I did not extract the .rar file into a separate folder anywhere on my computer if that matters. More like I just "opened" it up right where it was in my downloads folder. This kept me with a single .exe that took me quite some time to get rid of because it wouldn't allow me permissions to do anything with. Slightly paranoid because I went back to the webpage of that DDU and saw a few people commenting that it was potentially malware.
I'm not really sure if I want to make an attempt with downloading this file again; though if it's advised that I do, provided I include the extracting part, I'll give it another go.
Otherwise, I'd like to ask if following a guide from the NVIDIA website regarding uninstalling my drivers and then reinstalling will yield me with the same results?
Absolutely NOT maleware. It's a widely recommended program one i use every time i re install a driver.
Download from here

Go to download locations and choose the closest location to you to download (closest will provide faster download speeds.)
Make a folder on your desktop called DDU, this is where you should extract the install folder, After extracting open the program by clicking the "display driver uninstaller" application file.
After opening start in safe mode, when using the program select the first option ( clean and restart option.)
Re installing from Nvidia instructions will not be the same thing, This removes folders and all sorts of junk leftover from the previous driver which helps to solve problems.
