Done already. This program somehow eases the removal process, but this is far from making the operation available for average joe.

Probably a mater of time.
My pc is 6 years old and was installed on win7 before. That may explain the pile of driver versions.
Also, I did some manual cleanup at some point when this directory was >25Gb large and got my hard disk full.
Well, I did that already. The thing is: I don't have much time to waste hunting for the drivers to remove and take the chance to remove the ones I need.
I wish we have a windows UI control that makes the cleanup usable for common users.
Okay, thanks for the tip.
It's mostly a problem on my client's computer though, and I would never take the chance to run this on their PC.
Sure, but a least, you have a fairly simple cleanup possibility here.
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore
I've googled the thing many times ; no simple solution (such as : [x] only preserve 2 copies of each driver)
Several device manufacturers love to create hundred MB large drivers for reason that is not obvious to me (realtek is one of them) and provide many updates (which is not necessary bad) that accumulate there over time...
Just tested with sysinternals "du -u" ; gave me 9.5Gb distinct files. Not far from what windirstat gave me.
Especially when my win10 systems hold 10G worth of driver backups (DriverStore) I can't figure out how to cleanup...
"Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure"
Matrix.
Just like the medical imagery field, the perfect answer might be AI + Human - AI can see things human can't, and conversely.
Not sure if companies are going to try AI alone, but I'm pretty much certain that would be a really bad idea.
...normal people think IT guys are just the worst, and they're both right from their point of view.
What a scoop...
I love firefox relative independance; I need it.
And so far, I've nothing against their so called "philosophical" way of doing things.
"The modern web platform is incredible complex. Today it's an application runtime comparable to the Java or
Who's fault ? Who asked to a web browser able to serve gazzilions of AD data ? (not me) I doubt google will make a great job fighing this mess, nor microsoft.
"My problem with Mozilla's current approach is that they are *preaching* their own technology instead of asking themselves how they can contribute most and deliver "
Well, I don't have an opinion for this one. Preach is never great to me, but that's not the same as "philosophy".
How much microft listen customers is an interesting question as well (my answer: they don't give a sh..); this is not religion, this is (bad) business. I rather prefer good philosophy.
Obviously, we could also detax wood for individual construction for example
They are now in beta test. Those guys are'nt out of nowhere either; Gaël Duval. He created Mandrake Linux long time ago.
It seems to me that https://e.foundation/ also qualifies as independant mobile os.
It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
