There is missing license file or inductions in the README.
from the original host in codeplex it seem like it is GPLv2.

Hello.

Can you add ability to add and extract drivers from Offline systems?
I've searched whole web and don't found this functionality.

I resolved a frustrating problem where four outdated NVIDIA drivers were undeletable, even with force or package delete. Turns out, my oem*.inf files no longer had the matching PNF files. DriverStore Explorer will show the metadata, but list the driver size as 1K.

The fix is to manually delete the corresponding oem* files. I'm not a driver expert, but could the tool handle this type of exception and still clean up the driver instance by removing the specified .inf? To repro this case, just hide the PNF file for a given INF.

I was just wondering why you are including the .pdb file in the releases.

Getting the following Error:

here's a screenshot

As I found out DSE does not remember its last window size and position.

When I close it and later restart it then the main window opens centralized with a small size on screen.
Users have to manually move and resize the window again.
This is tedious and not comfortable.

Can you let DSE remember the last win size+pos in the next release?

thank you

Starting from network drive is OK in read-only mode until trying to run with administrative rights -- it crashes then.

Source files translated in French:
DriverStoreExplorer-FR_master.zip.

When I try to delete old drivers, I get an error message. The previous release had a checkbox to allow a forced delete. In release 0.10.3 there is no checkbox so I can't delete the old driver. Had to revert to 0.9.39 in order to delete old drivers.

Not a big issue, but still doesn't remember "column size": when re-opening RAPR, it automatically "fits to content size". That's great...however if "column title" is longer than "colum content", end part of the title is hidden.

Actual behavior (fits to content)

Desired behavior (fit to title)

Or, otherwise (3rd option), do not fit to size but re-open with exact same "column size" as it left: small, or very big, if I want. But I personally prefer "fit to title" behavior.

Ps: Another option/quickest fix, you keep "fit to content" behavior but get rid of "driver"/"du pilote" words, leaving only Date/Version in the title instead (same words in french and english), that way title is smaller than content and its end isn't hidden.
But thinking now, it's surely better to keep "Driver" word in the title: remove the word could confuse the user between "install date" and "driver date" (I wouldn't be sure myself which date it is otherwise)

Ps2: Wow, that just took me to another idea/request (sorry...) Maybe you could add an "installation date" column? Or else, wouldn't it be great to "highlight" installed driver? (I like this one...)
Like this, the user is confident about which driver he can delete (=the ones "not in use", for example).
Another (random) idea would be to add a button to "select unused drivers" .

It reverts to english

A program icon would be nice to add (top left) 👯 👯‍♂️

First: I love this little tool, fyi.

Have you ever considered using code analysis or the .NET compiler platform analyzers? As a curious native developer, I ran Visual Studio 2019's built in code analysis (which is apparently depreciated for .NET 🤷) and while there's lots of noise (spelling issues, etc...) it does look like there's some interesting issues with exceptions, datatype mismatches, and weird language problems.

I tried it with Microsoft All Rules at first and got 302 warnings (again, lots of noise), and then the Microsoft Managed Recommended Rules, which only produced 7 warnings, of which only two look actually interesting to me, missing lots of other things. You might want to just use the All Rules preset, and then manually ignore the most common two or three warnings.

Both version 0.5 and 0.7 crash when run as admin on an Acer desktop with an AMD card.

Hi, dev,

I downloaded the latest version of DriverStoreExplorer which the version is 0.8.41 form GitHub. Before I ran it, I uploaded the binary file Rapr.exe, which the hash of the file is 7435a4197e3b7c87a4dff26a9627473ae9356179abfe4a47a8664fc36565c1a8, to VirusTotal for scanning. The result showed that there was a strange behave which was a dns lookup for the domain vboxsvr[.]ovh[.]net in this binary file.

You can check the result here at the bottom of the "file detail":
https://www.virustotal.com/zh-cn/file/7435a4197e3b7c87a4dff26a9627473ae9356179abfe4a47a8664fc36565c1a8/analysis/1505868168/

I thought it was very strange. So I downloaded the source code and tried to compile by my self. Then I used VisualStudio 2017 community version to rebuild this project and then I got a new Rapr.exe file which the hash of the file is af44f233166756fb20531f88e10eead5fcc245f5a45b5d80067f632eb52d7e78. And then I uploaded the new file to VirusTotal for scanning, there was no such behave of dns lookup for the strange domain.

You can check the result of my new-built exe here:
https://www.virustotal.com/zh-cn/file/af44f233166756fb20531f88e10eead5fcc245f5a45b5d80067f632eb52d7e78/analysis/1505870284/

Then I googled a lot, and found that the strange domain was related to a ransomware which the name is Rijndael.

You can check the page for more information of Rijndael here:
http://www.easyremovemalware.com/tag/rijndael-ransomware-removal-guide

I don't know whether your development environment had been infected or not, but I think I should report it to the developer who can start an investigation on this strange behave of the executable file.

Thanks!

Hello again,
Seems size is shown in octets/bytes? I don't know if it is an intended behavior, but much prefered old way (mb/kb).
Also the date column, I think most people are used to DD/MM/YYYY (like in older version) instead of MM/DD/YYYY (in latest)
Screenshot:

I think this will be last issue for UI, we're getting there... :)

If you have more than one AMD Radeon driver installed, the older ones should be selected when "Select Old Drivers" button is pressed, but they are not, unlike all the others
Reproduced on two Win10 systems, 1709 build

They properly differ in both driver version and date (previously some Notebook drivers had their versions bugged, not anymore)

Hello, thanks for the program! I added it to my site in Russian about free software (link).

I wanted to clarify once again, is the program really distributed under the gnu gpl license? If yes, please indicate the license in the About menu.

Hello, using RAPR since long time now and I always wished to be able to export drivers (to a selected folder) from the application. Maybe I miss point exporting all drivers as a CSV list, but personally, I find this useless. Exporting drivers would be nicer imho.

I have to use powershell for that...Dism /online /export-driver /destination:"mypath"

Would be even better to be able to "export selected drivers" (and not export ALL like in export csv)

Thank you

ps: for reference, I grabbed the dism command from there:
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/backup-restore-drivers-windows-10

1. Configure manifest to asking administrator privilege when starting may be more appropriate?

2. No Select none and Reverse selection button, this forces user to restart the program when select old is not satisfied.

3. Size is important for main purpose, and perhaps it should be placed behind the "name", otherwise it is hidden by default for default window size at 1366*768 resolution.

4. "Select old" will select drivers that same version but different publishers, which may bring unexpected results. See the screenshot.
   

5. Provide an option to configure exclusion for size, for example not select items that size <5MB.

6. Perhaps sort the Size in reverse order by default is better.

I have Win7 64 bit (Russian version) and got this exception almost on any action (Refresh/Add Store)

Ability to right click on a driver and select to open the folder location

Im using 0.8.4.1 and i noticed that the program does not detect most of the fils in my driver store folder.

For example, i had several nvidia driver folders in there, all of them 440+ mb and taking up a huge amount of space. Driver store only showed 3, when i had 6+ in there.

Why does this happen?

Right now im looking at the driver store folder and there are multiple weird 44 mb folders in there, with names like prnhp003.inf_amd64_neutral_4480210763997eb4. Google seems to suggest these are printer related devices, which is weird because i never installed any printer drivers manually.

None of them show up in driver store explorer...why?

Steps to reproduce

• Run program with a standard user
• Click "Restart As Admin" button
• When the UAC prompt appears, click no

Expected

Program expects this response and continues running without an elevated token

Observed

An unhandled exception dialog shows up.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hello!

Very convenient program, but it doesn't detect many files in my driver store folder.
I don’t see standard MS drivers, my HDD, SSD, CD-ROM, phone, virtual PDF-Xchange printer, etc.
Also I don't see devices for which drivers are not installed.
In total only 44 rows against 454 rows in DevManView...

My request:

1. Expand devices list.
2. Add the total number and size in the status bar.
3. Highlight devices for which drivers are not installed.

Thank you!

The block can be bypassed, but if this is the 'normal' behavior, a hint would be useful in a README.

A "Select Old" Context Menu Item is needed for this program to be really useful (maybe even a button on the right side under "Operations" Group Box?).

The function should be to select all checkboxes of items with duplicated names (INF column) and the "Driver Date" is old.

button sill missing important "obsolete" (old) word, check my reply in issue #46
Maybe it would be better if one could implement a way to change button size "dynamically" (=according to text entry) ? Because when more traductions will be added I'm sure you will face the problem more times.

Hi, Option Select Old Drivers does not works at all since 0.10.13
Works well in 0.10.10 and older.

Same as language, I wish RAPR also remember UI settings when I "re-launch" it:
-Column selection
-Columns size, which goes together with Window Size (window position doesn't matter to me)
-"Sorting" settings (for example I sorted the list by provider instead of driver class).

Here's a screenshot example:

Example of UI at exit (would like same after start)

RAPR UI when it starts (but always starts like this...) :

Thank you!

While previously working perfectly, the list of drivers in Driver Store Explorer 0.9.39.0 is now totally blank.

I am on Windows 10 1809 x64 and believe this started to happen on the last Microsoft Patch Tuesday: January 8, 2019. There were updates then to the OS itself and to the .NET framework.

I have since tried running RAPR as an admin and also, in compatibility mode. I have tried to install .NET 4.0 specifically, but received a message it was already part of the OS.

I am attaching a screenshot of what I see. Maybe you can help, or ought to be aware?

Now that drivers are grouped by type it has the disadvantage that sorting by column (e.g. Pkg provider) won't bring all drivers with the same values at the same location, they'll still be spread out in the various type groups. Would be good to be able to disable grouping for that purpose so we can more easily see what comes from where.

This is a small request, I don't use all the languages, and would prefer if I delete language folder to hide from the list.
Actual behavior: if I delete language folder it still shows in list but english is used
Wanted behavior: if I delete language folder: hide from list.

Ps: can you change français to Français in language list also? with first letter uppercase like in English

Just to find out how many space are taken by the useless drivers.
Maybe some stats like:

You can clean up to 12 GB (25% from system drive C:)

Thanks!

In About "DriverStore Explorer" window please make the links clickable (or at least copyable, the github link isn't)

Command line support would be very useful, especially an option to delete/move all old drivers automatically.

Could be possible to add the option to make the software multi-language?

Removing a printer driver, the message always says 'oem77.inf' as the driver (force) removed.
P.S. great sw!

Is it possible to add support for the removal of ghosted devices from the system. Ghosted devices means, if the device is removed, it will be still shown in the devices manager as hidden device.

Also it will be better to check the driver date along with the driver version. It is just a suggestion. By default stampinf tool will stamp the driver building time as the version in the inf. In this scenario, by using the driver date only we can identify the latest driver.

RAPR finished its process in 2-3 seconds, 14 GB of data freed from the folder, but the free space on the disk has not changed.
Windows now reports 403 GB of used space.
TreeSize says there is 417 GB of used space.
I have cleaned the Recycle Bin, but I can’t figure out where those 14 GB go.
I have disabled the system recovery, no hibernation is enabled.
Thanks!
