    It took me entirely way too long to discover this program. It's near impossible to find something like this on the web. Near impossible to find a guide on the shell commands that will perform similar functions as this program. Manually uninstalling each driver, can tend to be a pain sometimes. It's clean and intuitively simple. Can't say enough!

Comment summary: Driver Store Explorer is praised for its portability, open-source nature, and ability to free up space by removing unnecessary driver files. Users find it lightweight and efficient for managing the Windows driver store. However, it struggles with thoroughly cleaning unused drivers, and some users report challenges in removing specific drivers. While not a driver updater, it is effective for its designed purpose and appreciated for its simplicity and language support.

Software did not work to restore my barcode scanner usb driver which worked on my old computer. The new computer did not and would not install the driver on its own. I tried other backup tools and this one which did not efficiently and quickly work fast or well for me. The tools that did not work are; Snappy Driver Installer, Unknown Device Identifier, Driver Store Explorer. The one that did work is "DriverBackup!" which Free and opensource.

It allows you to remove old and useless drivers that are occupying space in your computer.

Basically, I was searching for a way to roll back Intel HD 4000 driver for an earlier version, as the latest one worked like shit in Valorant, and here comes this app! Not only does it give you an option to delete any unneeded driver, but you can also just stick inside whatever you like, force quite current and taaa daaa- you have what you need!
