Export-WindowsDriver –Online -Destination c:\backup-drivers

To display the list of all exported drivers in a convenient form with the indication of the class, vendor and the driver version, let’s export the drivers with the two commands:

$BackupDrv = Export-WindowsDriver -Online -Destination c:\backup-drivers

$BackupDrv | Select-Object ClassName, ProviderName, Date, Version | Out-GridView 

You can save information about exported drivers to a CSV file:

$BackupDrv| Select-Object ClassName, ProviderName, Date, Version | Export-Csv c:\backup-drivers\backup-drivers_list.txt

You can list the drivers for a particular device class using the ClassName attribute. For example, to list only net drivers run the following command:

$BackupDrv | where { $_.classname -like "net" } | Out-GridView


To display a list of drivers for a specific vendor, use the command:

$BackupDrv | Where{ $_.ProviderName -Match "Intel"} | Out-GridView


Restore drivers with Powershell and PNPUTIL.exe

$drvinffiles = Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\backup-drivers\" -Filter "*.inf" -Recurse -File
foreach($drvinffile in $drvinffiles){
$drvinffile.FullName
pnputil.exe -i -a "$drvinffile.FullName"
}
