Windows 11 Pro 25H2 build: (26200.7623)
Hello,

I recently updated to Windows 11 Pro 22H2 on a new ASUS laptop and had the following occurred:

Old drivers junk that won't go away since I updated to the latest manufacturers drivers. Also, wushowhide doesn't find them to hide. I also hit retry a number of times as well as re-booted three times.

Are there any other steps I can take to clear this queue out?

Thank you

Hi and thanks for responding. Yes, that did work for now, but I expect it will happen again. I will save your instructions for later on down the line.

Thanks so much for your help. (y)

PS: I really don't like the fact that MS updating my drivers should override my getting the latest ones from the manufacturer. That's not always helpful.
