    Windows 10 help

    Greetings!

    I upgraded computers yesterday and in the process of setting up drivers I ended up with multiple copies. Is there and easy way to delete just the extra copies in Win 10.

    I previously had Win 7 and it was easy to do through printmanagement.msc but that doesn't seem to work in Win 10.


    Thanks!

    I don't have Windows 10 and never will If I can help it. If your talking about a Print Driver, you just can't go to Printers & Devices and delete? I find it hard to believe they removed that.

    Why bother? I have not seen the extra copies cause any problems. Have you?

    Yeah, unless you see multiple instances of the same device in the 'Printers and Devices' control panel, the extra drivers are doing no harm...likely aren't even being loaded.

    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
