: If a driver is causing system instability (Blue Screen of Death), it can be forcibly removed using the PNPUtil command : pnputil /delete-driver oem56.inf /uninstall /force .
Execute the following enumeration command to pull all staged third-party drivers: powershell pnputil /enum-drivers Use code with caution.
While this approach requires higher initial investment and a commitment to a specific vendor, the long-term ROI in terms of quality, security, and performance often justifies the "Exclusive" price point.
