Need Ability to Uninstall Device Drivers

[rarndtjr]

Is there an option to "Uninstall-DeviceDriver"?

If not, are there plans to add this functionality? If not, could you please add this functionality?

Example:
Uninstall-DeviceDriver -InfFilePath C:\Drivers\LAN\acmelan.inf

Regards,

Ron

Ron,
I wrapped that code one day because I needed it for a project, and made it available here for anyone else to use. Your suggestion sounds reasonable, and I‘d assume it is a matter of adding the appropriate API call. I’d really love to look into this asap but to be frank, I don‘t think I‘ll find time in the next months. These github things typically are after-work sparetime projects.

Should you find a solution meanwhile, please keep me updated, and I gladly incorporate it.

Hi Dr. Tobias, I’m finding that clean / efficient driver uninstall via PS or other mechanism external to Windows is elusive. Maybe using DISM but this is more of a module / package removal (inf) vs “driver uninstall” per say. Let me see if I can get MS to take a look at this and coax them into possibly providing some coding options to implement this. If I get anything, I’ll pass it on for review. Thanks.
