    Extension INF drivers - when and how are they uninstalled?


    Hello everybody,

    now that I finally know why several drivers are installed in the device manager for some devices with/for the same device ID*, the question arises how these Extension INFs are managed.

    For example, I have an Intel UHD 620 which has been getting extensions via Windows Update from time to time - there are already 5 pieces that have accumulated.
    Even after a new driver also received from WU nothing changed - the extensions are still used, according to the events in the device manager.

    Are the extension drivers "dragged along" forever?
    Or should they be uninstalled from an extension update or driver update?

    Thanks and greetings,
    Martin


    * If you ask yourself that too - I can recommend a good video:

    How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

    I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

    Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

    Any suggestions? *Confused Extension INF drivers - when and how are they uninstalled? :confused:

    Display Driver Will Not Uninstall/INF Not Found When Trying To Install

    On my 5870M, I am trying to upgrade to CCC 11.11, but I am running into some issues. First off, when I try to uninstall my current drivers (11.9), it will not uninstall my display driver. CCC uninstaller gets to the driver, then just loops there for however long I leave it. Next issue I am having is installing the new driver. If I try to install over, or if I use genetix cleaner in safe mode to uninstall, I get the infamous INF file not found. From what I have seen, this is usually due to driver cleaner, which I have never used, and prior to this, I never even used genetix cleaner. Even if I go to device manager and point the graphics card to the INF folder under ATI/Support, I get an error of "no graphics driver available." I am running Windows 7 x64.

    Extension INF drivers - when and how are they uninstalled?

    PhysX Driver that Works on all Capable GPUs to be out by August

    The drivers should work... I'd suggest throwing it to Pagalms or the GTX 260/280 teaser driver thread... I know there is a list somewhere for it. All you need is the modded .inf file. But, Driver 177.66 don't need the modded .inf... Just go to Guru3d and grab them and install.
