    Is it possible to export only active drivers from Windows 10?


    I've created a library of unattended installs for Windows. On one of these, I have injected all the drivers from my various home computers. The problem is that the library of drivers is HUGE.

    For example, when I use either DISM or PNPUTIL to export my drivers, I can easily end up with 10 to 15GB or even more of exported drivers for a single system, and that's for the very simple systems without any special hardware installed.

    Other than going through each driver one by one and trying to make heads or tails of what the driver is for, does anyone know of a way to whittle these drivers down to just those that are actually used by the system they are being exported from?

    An example of what I am doing:

    Code: pnputil /export-driver * "D:\Exported Drivers"[/quote] Note that using DISM results in exactly the same results.

    :)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Is it possible to export only active drivers from Windows 10?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
