Corrupted Windows driver store - solution

-
\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository

Verify driverstore is good by either method:


  1. By using command pnputil -e
  2. By using DriverStoreExplorer https://github.com/lostindark/DriverStoreExplorer/releases/tag/v0.9.10

Bad example:

C:\>pnputil -e
Microsoft PnP Utility

Enumeration of driver packages failed :The request is not supported.
No published driver packages were found on the system.


Good example:

C:\Users\jdevasah>pnputil -e
Microsoft PnP Utility

Published name :            oem0.inf
Driver package provider :   Microsoft
Class :                     Printers
Driver date and version :   06/21/2006 6.1.7600.16385
Signer name :               Microsoft Windows

Published name :            oem1.inf
Driver package provider :   Microsoft
Class :                     Printers
Driver date and version :   06/21/2006 6.1.7601.17514

If you have a blue screen on a ProLiant Server running Windows and you have Windows support with HP, or you want HP to determine if the blue screen is hardware related. It’s possible that the systems specialist who takes your call may request an HPS Report. Download Link http://update.external.hp.com/HPS/HPSreports/ Note that there are currently four different variants of the tool. 1.HPSRPT_Enhanced_v9.1.00-x86.EXE – ProLiant –x86 – Running Windows NT/2000/2003/2008 32bit 2.HPSRPT_Enhanced_v9.1.00-ia64.EXE – Integrety – Running Windows 2003/2008 64 bit Itanium 3.HPSRPT_Enhanced_v9.1.00-x64.EXE – AMD64/Intel EM64T or Intel64 – Running Windows 2003/2008 64 bit And finally.. 4.
