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
Signer name :               Microsoft Windows

Published name :            oem2.inf
Driver package provider :   Intel Corporation

Driver date and version :   11/17/2015 14.8.1.1043

Once it is determined that driver store is corrupt, take necessary action to replace the files.
