Drivers are designed to be deleted by WMI or the driver manager. It is a Windows Logo requirement.Deleting the driver does not delete the files it just deletes the keys and connections between the OS and the driver. Remember that drivers are installed from 'inf' files stored in the system folder. All drivers must reside their beforethan can be installed. Drivers are owned by Windows. They are not owned by the vendor. The vendor merely supplies a file that follows the OS rules for accessing the device.
THe vendor may supply other files to support specific software.In the case of adapter drivers it is just glue between Windows and the adapter. Many adapters come with sophisticated utilites to monitor and maage the adapter. These are unnecessary outside of their utility.
If the driver is removed theywon't work but they willnot cause an issue either.With HP printers. You can uninstall everything HP delivers but the drivers will remain. Once delivered Windows owns them. If the driveris dleted thenwe can just go in an delete the driver file and inf. Multi-part drivers haveto be deleted at all layers.Many vendors will just tell you to remove the adapter and restart the system. They don't supply a program to delete the drivers. PnP driver willnot load if the device has been removed.
Sometimes it I necessary to delete the device first thentry to remove the driver. Disabling a device will have a similar effect.(ツ)/.

How do I uninstall Powershell? It's causing computer games to minimize and programs to hang every minute, making work extremely frustrating and difficult. (I do video game art) How do I get rid of it permanently?
I don't want it on my computer at all. It's a useless program. I can't find it in the list of updates or installed programs, but it's there. Please help me guys! This stupid Powershell is just as bad as a virus! I'm fixing to find everything with the word 'Powershell' in it and deleting it manually. Powliks will patch your machine with latest version of powershell if powershell is already not installed.So, if you find multiple dllhost.exe (comsurrogate) or conhost.exe with registry entries in their commandline argument (check taskmanager for details) making your pc crawl, you are infected, most probably.For information, read the article (donot attempt fix unless you are pretty sure of doing it)Powliks is expected to call his friends to your machine sooner or later.Edited by NikhilCV, 14 December 2014 - 10:09 PM.
Good question.I have had the same problem with both windows 7 and vista updates. Powershell just does not show up in the installed updates folder anywhere or it must be hidden within some other update.
Yet upgrade needs it uninstalled.Where is it hiding? The only link I've found is the shortcut link. I'd like to just turn it off but another Microsoft web page said that will not satisfy windows upgrade. It must be we are the only two people in the world that the powershell kb928439 installedupdate does not show in the installed updates file. I had the same problem. BUT i thought if i could found the KB number of the update that powershell, i could removed it through control panel.So i went in control panel windows update view update history i looked for any update with the powershell word and thats it!Windows PowerShell 2.0 and WinRM 2.0 for Windows Vista (KB968930) dont search it through the bar. Does not work!the rest was easy!
Go to the Control PanelPrograms and Features Installed Updates and just search through bar this time! And unistall!i hope i helped! I had the same problem. It was not showing up as an installed program or update.it was still there though!I even tried to install it and then uninstall it, nothing seemed to work.After playing around I decided to manually remove the files but even after trying to change the permissions, it would not let me delete them. What a pain.Here is my quick fix:Open 'Computer' and navigate into your Local Disk C: (or wherever your windows install is located).Navigate into the Windows folder and then the System32 folder.(C:WindowsSystem32)Note: If you are running a 64-bit version of windows, it is also listed in the SysWow64 folder. (C:WindowsSysWow64)Find the 'WindowsPowerShell' folder. Right-click on it and click Rename.Rename the folder to WindowsPowerShell2.Close the window and attempt to perform the upgrade again.You will still have the shortcuts for Powershell in your start menu and anywhere else they appear, you can right-click them and delete them.ORIf your feeling spunky, you can rename the folder back to WindowsPowerShell, after the upgrade, despite it being incompatible.

But I wouldn't recommend it.Hope this helps. Best of Luck and have a blessed day!Thanks.Dr. BellSystems SpecialistCompTIA A+, IC3. I tried all your suggestions and still cannot find the update to remove. Could my multiboot config cause part of this? New laptop had 7 Home ed; I reinstalled Home ed with 2 HDD partitions. Put retail 7 Pro (not upgrade) on 2ndpartition.
No update listed by the name or number cited above (checked both partitions). All Programs/Accessories/Powershell exists listing both x86 (32-bit) and 64-bit versions, plus ISE for both (whatever that is). No uninstallthere.
In Windows features again, I recognize nothing that would be associated with the powershell.Can you guide me to another solution or a good place to pick up troubleshooting? I don't create scripts, don't want to, and don't want such unnecessary stuff running or cluttering my resources. I have no idea what evoked themessage that psdiagnostic.exe cannot load because something was disabled. How can I disable it?
Are there 6 or 8 copies on this setup? Would MS Office 2007 Ultimate have installed it?Here's my computer setup: Dell, dual-core CPU, 4G RAM, 64-bit, using Win 7 Pro almost always. Uninstalled all my scientific apps, reset MS Office 2007 Ultimate to bare bones (for 'first usage' installation wherever poss). RestoredOS defaults.
In Run. the command powershell.exe launches. Prompt shows exe in 1 path in Pro partition. Task Manager shows 2 PS services running, with identical paths. No indication if one is 64-bit vs32-bit. No uninstall or update exe in path or subfolders. Don't know how or when PS got on computer. Am not able, nor want, to write/edit scripts.

To my knowledge I did not install program, feature, or update/hotfixfor scripting. No home network; 1 printer.
(Ptr works okay on diff stand-alone PC.)Home ed. Always was faster than Pro. 2 weeks performance SLOW: 25+% physical memory used, 2 min to shutdown, 1 min to get to initial Windows logo, no indication of which services if any hang up during the shutdown (checked Event Logs). Can'tID cause of spiking CPU usage. Using Performance Monitor and all above, improved 4% RAM usage. Also, now Home ed won't boot at all. Since the psdiagnostic.exe problem arose, I get the following error message when double clickingon a Word doc to open it in Word: 'Can't send command to the program.' While message still displayed, MS Word will completely launch, but it will immediately close the initial blank document and block opening files from 'recent documents.'

No such problems when use Word menu or toolbar to open doc. Also, no error message if opening MS Word via Start/All Programs, etc.My concern right now is only the Pro as it is critical to my work, which I must complete by Tues. Do I have the same problem? A multiboot problem? Or a different problem all together? I appreciate any direction offered. Thank you.-cc.
