Filter Driver Load Order

Filter Driver Load Order is a lightweight application that shows the drivers installed by Microsoft and third-party software on your computer. It does not require installation, which makes the tool portable.

You can drop the executable file somewhere on the hard disk and just click it to run. It is also possible to move Filter Driver Load Order to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any machine with minimum effort.

An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and files are not left behind on the HDD after removing Filter Driver Load Order. A standard file deletion is suffice to accomplish this task.

You can view info for disk and CD/DVD drives, namely the filter position and object name, together with extensive version information (e.g. driver name, file location and description, copyright). This date can be quickly copied to the Clipboard for further scrutiny.
