Since the files inside this folder are critical for system functioning, it is advisable not to touch the folder. Windows 10 saves all the drivers inside of this folder called DriverStore. Windows 10 comes with a collection of trusted driver packages of the most common hardware from Microsoft and third-party vendors. Without drivers installed, Windows will not be able to communicate with the hardware. The drivers are a bridge of communication between the software Operating System and the hardware. They tell the Operating System how to operate a particular hardware device. Removing a boot-critical driver package can make the offline Windows image unbootableĪdding drivers also has a command Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Add-Driver /Driver:C:\drivers\mydriver.Device drivers are an important component of Windows. For example, type: Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Remove-Driver /Driver:OEM1.inf /Driver:OEM2.inf Multiple drivers can be removed on one command line. Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:C:\test\images\install.wim /Name:"Windows 7 HomeBasic" /MountDir:C:\test\offline The wim file will be mounted to that folder. You create an empty folder called test and within that another empty folder called offline. It is only necessary to mount once, not once per driver. Lists all drivers Dism /Image:C:\test\offline /Get-Driversįeed the list one at a time into the remove command below. This is all that is require on a offline version of windows. Also with an offline copy of windows dism /Mount-Image maybe skipped. When in the command prompt mode from the windows 7 DVD your drive letter may not be the same. If instead of a wim file your working with an offline copy of windows substitute the path that has the windows folder on it for c:\test\offline. Your are better off selectively removing the drivers. Removing ALL drivers will damage windows and make your life horrible!
