Staging drivers in the driver store – Admin
– Drivers
Viewing Online Driver Store Contents: All Drivers- – Get-WindowsDriver -online -all – dism /online /get-drivers /all
View .inf files in notepad – C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\<name>\*.inf

DISM - System Image Manager
Remote Server Admin Tool –> Group Policy Management Editor
Driver Verifier Manager
Run Verifier.exe elevated and choose: - Select all unsigned - Select drivers built for older Windows versions - Select all - Select from a list
Troubleshooting: – Devmgmt.msc - Roll Back Driver - Less disrupted than reverting to a restore point – By default F8 no longer works in Windows 10 – Boot to DVD, “Repair your computer,” troubleshoot .. Command Prompt – bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal
Cleaning up Unused Drivers – Disk Cleanup – device driver packages
Type 4 Drivers – One “class driver” supports many models of printer – Drivers no longer hosted on print servers – Get from Windows Update – Enhanced point and printer
NIC speed settings – – Allow device to wake the computer – Allow computer to turn off device to save power - not really on NIC
