How can I locate a specific driver on my WIN11 PC and copy it to my thumb drive?

Hi,

How can I locate a specific driver on my WIN11 PC and copy it to my thumb drive?

I know the Driver Name and the version but not its actual filename. It's for an older printer. My WIn11 computer found it and downloaded it which was great but I would like to have a copy on a thumb drive for safekeeping and portability.

I can see the Driver Name in Windows Update History but I can't click on it there to do anything.

What specific steps do I take to find it where I can copy it? Please know, I am a new user of WIn11 by about 5 days.

Thank you,

Jay

Edit:

I went to the command prompt window and did a driverquery command and saw a long list of drivers where it shows their "Display Name" but none were the Driver Name as displayed in Windows Update.

 

old email addresses

Thank you for updating me HA.111

Here is the step to remove that old email address.

Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

Just do this step and your good to go.

Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

Windows update keeps replacing ALPS Touchpad driver with a Synaptics driver.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

I suggest you to uninstall and delete the previous drivers and the latest drivers for the touchpad and install the required version of the driver from Device Manager by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
• Expand the Touch pad driver.
• Right click on the driver and click on update/install.
• Select the required version from the on-screen prompts.

And for the problem with the installation of printer drivers, I suggest you to run the Windows Update troubleshooter by following the steps below:

• Type “Troubleshooting” in search box and press Enter.
• Click on “View All” option on top left pane.
• Select “Windows Update” from the list and follow the prompts for troubleshooting.
