driverquery: Display a list of drivers with a column to indicate if they are signed.
$ driverquery /si
try on your machine

The command "driverquery /si" is used in Windows to display detailed information about installed device drivers on the system. Here is an explanation of each component of the command:

  • "driverquery": This is the main command that is used to retrieve driver information.
  • "/si": This is an optional switch that stands for "System Information." By including this switch, the command will display additional information about each driver, including the driver description, version, file path, and digital signature.

When you enter the command "driverquery /si" in Command Prompt or the Run dialog box, the system will gather information about all the installed drivers and display a list, providing you with details such as driver names, versions, and other relevant information for each driver. This can be useful for troubleshooting driver-related issues or simply for gaining a better understanding of the drivers installed on your system.
