Driver List

Every hardware component your computer is fitted with has its own corresponding software component called a driver. This ensure the proper functionality of the installed component, as well as proper distribution of the resource they provide. In case you want to view the full list of installed drivers on your PC, Driver List is a lightweight utility that can generate an entire list instantly.

The package contains triggers for both system architectures, namely x86 and x64. It’s best to run the one your computer is based on, and even with administrator privileges so that the application can access all areas of your computer to grab necessary details. What’s more, you can carry it with on a thumb drive, since it requires no installation.

As soon as you launch the component you need, a compact window shows up with an organized table that shows all detected drivers, along with information columns like base, size, path, description, company, and version. If you consider the list isn’t showing all drivers, there’s the possibility to instantly refresh.

Unfortunately, you have to manually go through the entire list in order to find a specific entry, because there’s no built-in search function for easy identification. On the other hand, the application lets you filter according to column headers to help you bypass this inconvenience.

If you happen to find the driver you need, there’s the possibility to jump to the containing folder instantly through a provided option in the context menu. There’s the possibility to export the entire list to file, but there’s a slight catch. You need to manually write down the target file extension, but a simple TXT will do. The document is neatly organized, even according to column header filters you apply.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Driver List is a practical application you can use to find out whether or not corresponding drivers for hardware components are installed. You need to manually go through the list to identify them, but filter options make it a little easier, and the export options comes in handy, although general setup is slightly ambiguous.
