$ driverquery /v
try on your machine

The command "driverquery /v" is a command used in the Windows operating system to list out all the installed device drivers on a computer, along with additional detailed information about each driver.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • "driverquery" is the main command that is used to access the driver information.
  • "/v" is an optional switch or parameter that is added to the command to display the detailed information of each driver.

When you execute the "driverquery /v" command in the command prompt or the Run dialog box, it will provide you with a list of all the device drivers installed on your computer, including their names, descriptions, versions, date of installation, and other relevant information. The "/v" switch ensures that the command displays all the available details for each driver.

This command can be useful when troubleshooting driver-related issues or when determining driver versions for updating or replacing drivers.
