Uninstall old drivers
If you want to clean up your Windows, and uninstall drivers for hardware that isn’t installed anymore, you can use this trick.
Open a command prompt, and type the following command, and press enter:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
Leave the command prompt window open, and type start devmgmt.msc in the same window. This will open up the device manager. Go to view, and choose show hidden devices. Now you see all drivers present in your windows installation, and uninstall those that aren’t needed anymore.
Alternatively, you can add the “devmgr…” variable to the environment variables, and reboot.
