List all the drivers installed on your Windows OS

I am a huge fan of administrating all Operating Systems using a type of command line.

I work in a Unix/Windows environment that does include differing flavors of Linux here and there. Enough about me and lets get to the reason for the post shall we.

So there are a ton of freeware applications that will go out and do the exact thing we are doing and it just adds more crap ware to your Windows Install. So lets get your drivers the easy and no extra crap way.

Here is the command line to use to see all your drivers:

driverquery

Or to output in list or csv format instead of the default table format, you can use the /FO switch

driverquery /FO [list, table, csv]

So for instance, if you ran the following command to give you verbose information in list format:

driverquery /FO list /v

Then you can go more into it like this:

          driverquery /FO csv /v > C:\driverbackup.csv

then you can open it in excel.

Enjoy!
