Removing unused device drivers

  • Press 'Windows'+'Break' to bring up the System Properties dialog box.
  • Select the Advanced tab, then click Environment Variables.
  • Click New. In the Variable Name box type: devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices, and in the Variable Value box type 1.
  • Click OK, and go to Device Manager (under the Hardware tab in System Properties).
  • Expand the different branches of devices. A faded icon means the device driver is unused.
  • To remove a device driver, right click the icon and click Uninstall.
