Where Does Windows Store Driver Files

Post by Robby96 »

I've been trying to update a device driver on my Windows computer, but I can't seem to find the driver file anywhere. I've already checked the manufacturer's website, but they only provide an automatic installation tool which isn't working for me. I've also tried searching through the Windows Device Manager and the "update driver" option, but it just says that I already have the latest driver installed. So, my question is, where does Windows store the driver files on my computer? And is there a way I can manually download the driver file from a trusted source? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Windows stores driver files in the "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore" directory.

Troubleshooting Questions and Answers:
1. Question: Why are my device drivers not being updated automatically in Windows?
Answer: For automatic driver updates, ensure that the "Device Installation Settings" in the "System Properties" are set to "Yes (recommended)" or "Notify me only when drivers are available."

2. Question: How can I uninstall a specific driver on my Windows device?
Answer: To uninstall a driver, go to the "Device Manager" by right-clicking on the "Start" button, then locate the device under the appropriate category, right-click on it, and select "Uninstall device." Choose whether to delete the driver software as well, then proceed with the uninstallation.

3. Question: After updating a driver, my device is not functioning properly. How can I roll back to the previous driver version?
Answer: To roll back a driver to the previous version, open the "Device Manager," locate the device, right-click on it, and choose "Properties." Navigate to the "Driver" tab, click on "Roll Back Driver," and follow the on-screen instructions to revert to the previous driver version.
