Uninstall most drivers?

[Antwan]

Hello,

Im having a problem with a faulty driver. Im pretty sure its a driver as I ran every possible hardware test ever made.

 

When I put my computer to sleep... it wakes itself back up to a bluescreen. I googled the issue and people facing the same issue solved it by reformatting/reinstalling. This is not a solution for me though as it will take me about a week to get my PC back to its current state.

 

Is there a way for me to uninstall most if not all of my drivers, reboot and let Windows 10 deal with them.

I think the issue was caused by iObit Driver Booster ... i really hate programs like this, but I decided to give it a go as it was highly recommended by a friend. 

 

Thanks.

The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time. 

 

P.S. - Its not my RAM. I ran Memtest86 off of a USB with a million passes... windows built in diagnostics and nothing. Issue only happens on wake up!

I'd do a clean windows install. Hopefully that fixes shit

I'd say letting Windows handle installing your drivers will cause more harm than good. Why not just uninstall and reinstall that specific program/driver that you think is causing the issue? And also why would your PC take so long to get back into current shape if you reinstalled? Can you not back up stuff?

Clean install is the way to go, it will remove everything and then only install the necessary drivers.

A lot of programs, a lot of settings, a lot of plugins. Its a nightmare.

Then again I'd say try uninstalling that specific program that you suspect is the issue.
