Driver BackUp YouTube Tutorials
I have collected some links to Youtube Tutorials on Windows 10 Driver back up. I did not find any particularly good one.
I have tried to order them in an approximate order of usefulness.
None were particularly good. There are drips of information in them
There is the standard You tube internet link, and also a link to a copy of the video in Windows Media Player, .WMV format.
I personally found it useful to put all the .WMV files in a folder, then if you select them all , you can right click and select something like Play, https://imgur.com/uFPSoPm and then you will get a repeating continuous long play of all the videos without adverts. I left this running in the background on an old computer for a few days whilst I did something else, so I slowly picked up all the information without too much effort.
Highlight all WMV videos Right click Play.jpg : https://imgur.com/uFPSoPm

Double Driver
In searching the internet for information about backing up drivers , one comes across this free software a lot. It has not been updated for a while, but appears to have been trusted by many people from XP through to windows 10
So the last thing I will look at on my Windows 10 Driver back Up example excursion will be to get a back up list using the free software, Double driver…
The Double Driver software analyzes all hardware drivers that are on your computer. This lists the softwarte ( “drivers” ) in a clear list with the most important details, such as the manufacturer, exact version number and the date of installation.
You can do a few further things with the software once the analysis is complete. We will be mainly concerned initially here with making a backup of the “drivers”, so that we can compare what we get with what we have got so far using the other Back Up methods.
( It is also possible in some cases to produce the so called “ISO” discs to use to install the “driver software”. Effectively you would then have something similar discs that historically were , and occasionally still currently are , supplied by the manufacturer of a physical device to be built into a computer )
Find a source to Download the Software, Double Driver
It’s your responsibility!
Despite currently being well recommended , the software has not been supported, updated, or changed for some time, and is not directly available from the original author anymore.
It is difficult to give precise information as to where to safely get the software from as such things change frequently. As always you must take care in downloading any software. Try to find a reliable source, and try to have as much security software in place during the download and if you have the possibility, do a full computer scan for viruses after the downloading.
I used chip.de as it was recommended to me by someone for this download. But some years ago I got a bad virus after downloading a different software from this site.
You need to make your own decisions and take the responsibility yourself. It is your decision what and how you download. I never give any recommendations on where to download from. You do any downloading at your own risk.
( One reason that I finally got around to getting a fairly up to date operating system was to use that computer for downloading. Despite all the other frequent criticism about Microsoft and Windows 10, most people seem to think that an up to date system will be fairly well protected against third party abuse: Microsoft prefer to try to abuse you themselves. Think of Microsoft as a modern day version of a Mafia Protection Racket, all be it not as deadly or Evil … yet.)
If you do chose to use chip.de , and it is your decision if you do, the one tip I would give is to look very carefully for a small, almost hidden link on the main download page. If you click on what looks more prominent any obvious to click on then you often get either a totally different software, or a download of the software that also includes a lot of other stuff you do not want. See for example, towards the start of this YouTube Tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_1axe_t9AQ&t=36s , https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GC2...?usp=drive_web )
But remember: this site, chip.de , could all change tomorrow , so it remains your responsibility
If you have found a source for the download, and have started it, then , depending on your system and settings, you are likely to firstly get some window asking you where you want to save the package. Usually the package comes in a .Zip Folder
I personally saved this initially on an external USB stick: I downloaded the .zip Folder into another Folder which I had made previously on the USB stick named Double driver downloaded Feb 2020
Double Driver download.JPG : https://imgur.com/kAo7EsV
Double Driver download in Folder.JPG : https://imgur.com/HKLMsmN
Double Driver download in Folder.JPG : https://imgur.com/ZvDr0BO
Here is what I downloaded in cloud sharing sites. So you could download it from here instead: But once again: It is your decision if you want to download and use it. So far these files have not given me any problems, but use them at your own risk. I have the downloaded folder in normal and zipped form.
Normal Folder : https://app.box.com/s/glquraagdo45qodj4ago6ktf58psc8s0
Zipped Folder : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BPN...?usp=drive_web
Downloading/ unzipping the Software, Double Driver
(You can skip this section if you chose to download my normal Folder from the app..box.com site)
The saved zip file needs to be “unzipped”.. in my default settings in Windows 10 , this seems to be done automatically if you copy simultaneously all the contents of the zip folder, and simply paste into any other Folder outside the zip folder.
I downloaded the .zip Folder into a Folder which I made on my stick named Double driver downloaded Feb 2020
DD in Folder.JPG : https://imgur.com/4VSSkMB
Then I double clicked on the .zip folder to get at the contents of the .zip Folder , Double click on zipped folder.jpg : https://imgur.com/camzZbj , which appears to be a Folder with the name Double Driver

which I then copied ,

and then navigated back into Double driver downloaded Feb 2020 and pasted into there.

Finally I have a folder with the name Double Driver , which shows a date from around 2010

Inside that are all the required Double Driver Software files

Running Double Driver to “get driver back-up” (Default ( non Microsoft only ) )
A double click on the file dd.exe will start things.
Double click the dd exe to start Double Driver.JPG : https://imgur.com/VLA0L5F
Double Driver started.JPG : https://imgur.com/OBN7DUu , https://imgur.com/O642K1y
Usually the first action then is to click first on Backup from the ribbon at the top, and then click the Scan Current System button bottom left
DD Backup Scan Current System.JPG : https://imgur.com/52gXRl6
A detailed list is then obtained. It appears that only a few things are checked. This is usually by default Double Driver settings, just non Microsoft. Double Driver Selected non Microsoft by default.JPG : https://imgur.com/Pa2TsRJ
Double Driver scanned.JPG : https://imgur.com/YGQCazY , https://imgur.com/wVbZ7b7 , https://imgur.com/KRm4HQg
The logic behind this may be that the Microsoft drivers may be installed automatically during the operating system instillation. Initially I will examine these drivers, and back them up
At this point I would suggest trying a Save , which should give you a text file, which I have named DoubleDriverDriverListBefore.txt

There does not seem to be much information there. But I did click the bottom right Backup Now button
Double Driver BackUp.JPG : https://imgur.com/JuHd7Ks
I am offered a path at which to save the Backup, https://imgur.com/0mKwXK5 , and I can also now browse and , if I choose , make a new Folder at which to save “the driver back up”. I chose Double Driver Backup Non Microsoft

The process starts, which may take some time

Finally, I seem to have two main Folders, Display and Printer and therein one Display Sub Folder and 3 Printer Folders

From the main Folder , Double Driver Backup Non Microsoft , I have produced the following Explorer type view of all the Folders and Files within them in an Excel File, in the worksheet DDNonMicrosoftBefore
I have approximately 170 Files and Folders

Comparison of the different back ups
This is an attempt to briefly compare and summarise what the different ways have given us.
It is based on the explorer type folder output looked at in a summary file
ExplorerViewDriversBefore.xlsm : https://app.box.com/s/nixu8i6jmw802rdpen9lsfykrf15vm24
Double Driver All
This gave us finally a Folder, EG41MFT-US2H 09.02.2020 17-50-05 ,
Apply the following macro we can see what is in the first level …_
_.. which is 26 Folders with the following names, ( and I have added the number of Sub folders at the next level )Code:Sub ColumnsE() Columns("E:E").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues + xlNumbers).Copy Paste Destination:=Range("E680") End Sub
PrintQueue (1)
USB (8)
CDROM (1)
Computer (1)
DiskDrive (1)
Display (1)
HDC (2)
Keyboard (1)
MEDIA (6)
Monitor (2)
Mouse (1)
Net (10)

SoftwareDevice (1)
1394 (1)
Image (1)
Volume (1)
HIDClass (4)
AudioEndpoint (1)
WSDPrintDevice (1)
WPD (1)
The file types are of these sorts
.ini
.inf
.sys
.dll
.xml
.bag
.cab
.js
.gdl
.cat
.gpd
.exe
The number of sub Folders at the next 2 levels is approx 161
_.__________
If we look at the manually produced results from the device manager we see 20 entries
Audio, Video und Gamecontroller (2)
Audioeingänge und – ausgänge (3)
Computer (1)
Druckwarteshlangen (5)
DVD/CD-ROM-Laufwerke (1)
Eingabegeräte (Human Interface Device) (6)
Grafikkarten (1)
IDE ATA/ATAPI-Controller (3)
IEEE 1394-Hostcontroller (1)
Laufwerk (2)
Mäuse und andere Zeigegeräte (1)
Monitore (1)
Netzwerkadaptor (9)
Prozessoren (2)
Softwaregeräte (7)
Speichercontroller (1)
Systemgeräte (25)
Tastaturen (1)
Tragbare Geräte (1)
USB-Controller (12)
The file types are of sorts
.sys
.bin
.dll
The number of sub folders at the next level is approximately 87
Here is an attempt to match them up approximately
Code:PrintQueue (1) DoubleDriver Manual from Device Manager Properties Printer (3) PrintQueue (1) Druckwarteshlangen (5) USB (8) USB-Controller (12) Tragbare Geräte (1) CDROM (1) DVD/CD-ROM-Laufwerke (1) Computer (1) Computer (1) DiskDrive (1) Laufwerk (2) Display (1) Grafikkarten (1) HDC (2) IDE ATA/ATAPI-Controller (3) Keyboard (1) Tastaturen (1) System (29) Systemgeräte (25) SoftwareDevice (1) Softwaregeräte (7) MEDIA (6) Audioeingänge und – ausgänge (3) VolumeSnapshot (1) Image (1) Volume (1) HIDClass (4) Eingabegeräte (Human Interface Device) (6) AudioEndpoint (1) WSDPrintDevice (1) WPD (1) 1394 (1) IEEE 1394-Hostcontroller (1) Monitor (2) Monitore (1) Mouse (1) Mäuse und andere Zeigegeräte (1) Net (10) Netzwerkadaptor (9) SCSIAdapter (1) Speichercontroller (1) Processor (1) Prozessoren (2)

Trying to tie down / compare a bit more precisely the actual files
I will take each of the 20 things in the list from the Device Manager Properties and see if I can match the actual files at the end of a string with anything in the Double Driver List.
So for example for the first thing, Audio, Video und Gamecontroller , we are looking for the files here:

I will look for those in the entire files shown in the DDAllBefore worksheet.

Coding idea to tie down / compare a bit more precisely the actual files
A basic code idea.
I am comparing the files found from Device Manager Driver details properties to those in the full list obtained from the Double Driver software.
I will try to find the each of the files in the files found from Device Manager Driver details properties in the full list obtained from the Double Driver software
I will make a selection in the worksheet , DeviceManagerProperties , to include all the files of interest, so this would typically be a selection to include all the files listed

Comparing Device Drivers Selection.JPG
_____ Workbook: ExplorerViewDriversBefore.xlsm ( Using Excel 2007 32 bit )
Worksheet: DeviceManagerProperties
Audio, Video und Gamecontroller High definition Audio-Gerät C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\dmk.sys C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\HdAudio.sys C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ksthunk.sys C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\portcls.sys C:\Windows\system32\SysFxUl.dll C:\Windows\system32\WMALFXGFXDSP.dll
The macro should then take each cell in the selection, check for a file in the cell, then if found it will look for that file in all the columns containing files in the Double Driver All Devices worksheet, DDAllBefore
I have the coding for convenience in the Worksheets code module of worksheet DeviceManagerProperties
So any undefined Range references will refer to that worksheet. But I will try to avoid relying on that in case I copy the code , or parts thereof, elsewhere later
I will not make any attempt to do an efficient macro: I will select and color matching pairs in the two worksheets as I go along. If it goes a bit slow that can be helpful for seeing where things are
Here is a coding example:
Code:Sub CompareDriverFilesDeviceManagerInDoubleDriverAllList() Rem 0 If ActiveSheet.Name <> "DeviceManagerProperties" Then MsgBox prompt:="Oops": Exit Sub Else End If Rem 1 Worksheets info Dim WsDMP As Worksheet, WsDDA As Worksheet Set WsDMP = Worksheets("DeviceManagerProperties"): Set WsDDA = Worksheets("DDAllBefore") Rem 2 Looking at each cell in the selection ' Random number between 3 and 56 to get color index for any matching file names (1 is black, 2 is white , up to 56 is other colors: 3 to 56 is like (0 to 53)+3 Rnd gives like 0-.99999 so (Int(Rnd*54))+3 is what we want Dim ClrIdx As Long Randomize: Let ClrIdx = (Int(Rnd * 54)) + 3 Dim SrchForCel As Range For Each SrchForCel In Selection ' Take each cell in selected range Dim CelVl As String: Let CelVl = SrchForCel.Value If CelVl <> "" And Left(CelVl, 3) = "C:\" And InStr(4, CelVl, ".", vbBinaryCompare) > 1 Then ' use some criteria to check we have a file path Dim FileNmeSrchFor As String Let FileNmeSrchFor = Right(CelVl, (Len(CelVl)) - (InStrRev(CelVl, "\", -1, vbBinaryCompare))) ' Determine the file name as that looking from the right as many characters as (the total character number) - (the position looking from the right of a "\") Rem 3 We now should have a file name, so we look for it in worksheet DDAllBefore Dim SrchRng As Range: Set SrchRng = Application.Range("=DDAllBefore!F5:DDAllBefore!G670") ' WsDDA.Range("=F5:G670") Dim FndCel As Range Set FndCel = SrchRng.Find(what:=FileNmeSrchFor, After:=Application.Range("=DDAllBefore!F5"), LookAt:=xlPart, searchorder:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False) ' If Not FndCel Is Nothing Then ' the range is set, so the file string has been found in a cell in DDAllBefore Rem 4 we have two matching cells 'Debug.Print FndCel.Value '4b) color matching file names in each worksheet, we do the unecerssary activating and selecting so we can see what is going in WsDMP.Activate: SrchForCel.Select Let SrchForCel.Characters(((InStrRev(CelVl, "\", -1, vbBinaryCompare)) + 1), (Len(CelVl)) - (InStrRev(CelVl, "\", -1, vbBinaryCompare))).Font.ColorIndex = ClrIdx WsDDA.Activate: FndCel.Select Let FndCel.Font.ColorIndex = ClrIdx Else ' No match was found - the thing in the cell in End If Else ' case no file path string in cell End If Next SrchForCel End Sub
In the next posts are the screenshots for running the code on the selection

….If you are my competitor, I will try all I can to beat you. But if I do, I will not belittle you. I will Salute you, because without you, I am nothing.
If you are my enemy, we will try to kick the fucking shit out of you…..

In the following posts are the results for other selections. ( I have modified the coding slightly as the current excel fox BB Code generator makes it difficult to catch partial cell character colouring. So I replace the code line which colours just the file characters, with a code line to color the entire string (which includes the file path for my hand made from Device Manager Properties). This is the replacement code line
Let SrchForCel.Font.ColorIndex = ClrIdx
It replaces this:
Let SrchForCel.Characters(((InStrRev(CelVl, "", -1, vbBinaryCompare)) + 1), (Len(CelVl)) - (InStrRev(CelVl, "", -1, vbBinaryCompare))).Font.ColorIndex = ClrIdx
Code:'4b) color matching file names in each worksheet, we do the unecerssary activating and selecting so we can see what is going in WsDMP.Activate: SrchForCel.Select 'Let SrchForCel.Characters(((InStrRev(CelVl, "\", -1, vbBinaryCompare)) + 1), (Len(CelVl)) - (InStrRev(CelVl, "\", -1, vbBinaryCompare))).Font.ColorIndex = ClrIdx Let SrchForCel.Font.ColorIndex = ClrIdx Let SrchForCel.Font.Color = ClrIdx WsDDA.Activate: FndCel.Select Let FndCel.Font.ColorIndex = ClrIdx Else ' No match was found - the thing in the cell in
