I have been trying to get rid of an older version of my graphics driver on my brothers laptop, but it’s pretty much impossible to do so. I tried using numerous methods, I tried PowerShell, I tried the device manager, but I just can’t manage to get rid of it. On all my other devices I get the option in device manager to show devices by driver, which lists all the inf files and very easily lets me remove those inf files that are not used by anything, however annoyingly this option is completely missing from the other laptop. When using powershell and doing get-windowsdriver, I can see the driver is installed but I don’t know how to uninstall it. I can’t delete the folder from the driver store as it’s protected by System and I don’t want to force delete it using iObit unlocker or something as I want to completely get rid of the driver.
This issue is very annoying, there must be an easy way but not a single website on Google gives me something that works. The laptop is on 22H2 so I don’t understand why device manager doesn’t have the option to show all devices by driver, maybe it’s a setting in the registry somewhere? Does anyone have ideas on how I can get rid of the driver? It takes up 2GB.
