How can I save all drivers to a list?

To solve hardware problems, we often first need to find out what drivers are installed on our computers in the first place. That manually gathering this information is extremely time-consuming is not in question. However, there is another, much more convenient method.

Right-click the Start button, select Windows PowerShell (as administrator) and answer yes to the security question that appears. Type Get-WindowsDriver -Online -All and hit enter. It will now take a few minutes for a list of all the drivers to appear on the screen, along with their manufacturer, version, and date information.

As the on-screen display is rather cluttered, it is recommended to save the list to a text file.

To do this, type Get-WindowsDriver -Online -All | Out-File -FilePath $env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\ All_driver.txt. After a short wait, you can open the text file on the desktop that contains all the drivers installed.
