About
Show Drivers is the free command-line tool to list Drivers running on your Windows system.

It displays detailed information about each driver such as name, status, company, description, path etc. It also provides option to list different type of Drivers like,

  • All Installed Drivers
  • Only Running Drivers
  • Only Disabled Drivers
  • Only Third Party (Non-Microsoft) Drivers
  • Show more info about specific Driver

Listing third-party drivers helps you to quickly discover any rogue or suspicious drivers. In such cases you can just remove or rename that Driver file from the specified path.
