    How do you determine a device driver and uninstall it from the command prompt?


    I have remote access to devices. There is someone at the device, but they do not reliably follow instructions. The devices vary, but are either WIndows 10 or 11, mostly 10. I have the admin password, but cannot provide it to the user.So, I would like to run a script while I have accessIt will:1. Determine what the ethernet adapter is.2. Uninstall the ethernet adapter.3. Reboot the device.Rebooting the device via command prompt is easy. I think I see how to uninstall. I am having trouble figuring out how to identify the ethernet adapter. Maybe driverquery, wmic, or pnputil

    How to Uninstall a Driver From WinRE Command Prompt?

    Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

    You can uninstall a driver from the Windows RE (Recovery Environment) command prompt by using the following steps:

    Boot your computer into Windows RE by pressing the appropriate key during startup (usually F8 or F11).

    Once in Windows RE, click on "Troubleshoot" and then "Command Prompt."

    In the command prompt, type the following command and press Enter: "pnputil -e" This command will list all of the drivers currently installed on your system.

    Find the driver that you want to uninstall in the list and make note of its .inf file name.

    Type the following command and press Enter: "pnputil -f -d oemXX.inf" (replace "XX" with the number of the inf file that you want to uninstall)

    Restart your computer to complete the uninstallation process.

    You can also use the system restore option in the recovery environment to revert back to a restore point dated before the installation of the said driver.

    Report back the results here afterward.

    Thank you.

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?
