Hi10X good backup solution

Make a backup copy of the drivers:

  1. Create a directory such as D:\DriverBackup. Expected space needed is ~ 1.5 GB. If it is then packed with RAR ~ 750 MB.

  2. Run as administrator (right mouse button on Start icon):

for win 8…10, PowerShell:

Export-WindowsDriver -Online -Destination D:\DriverBackup

for Win 11, Terminal,
as administrator:

DISM /online /export-driver /destination: “D:\DriverBackup”

At first you may not see anything, process will be going on, wait till it is done - you will be prompted to enter new command - close.

Depending on CPU and HDD it will take 1…4+ min.

  1. Further you can use copy you made: go to Device Manager, right click on device you want to install driver for and choose Update Drivers/Recover drivers from this computer and specify path to folder with saved copy.
