Show unused / disconnected devices in Device Manager

Normally the device manager only shows currenly loaded and in use drivers and devices.

This makes removing none connected devices and unused drivers difficult.



from windows, run cmd.exe, type: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1


Then start devmgmt.msc
From the gui select "View" -> "Show hidden devices"
now you can delete non-used drivers /devices.
