    List Loaded Windows Drivers
    This tool lists all the loaded Windows drivers and shows you many useful information about each loaded driver. View the driver load order, useful to know when a specific kernel-mode driver is loaded in the system and in which order. You can also safely delete a driver on the next reboot.

    Supported are all OS versions from XP up to Windows 10!

    Glad to help, and it is useful.

    There might be and probably is some app laying on a tool distributor's server but I sure haven't found it.

    Been using a really old sysinternals app named Load Order but the GUI is squeezed down so tiny plus the info is way limited to be of any real use.

    I just ran the portable version in a ReHIPS isolated environment... Interesting!

    This time I ran it again, but not in ReHIPS isolated environment, and hiding Microsoft drivers:

    Does running in isolated environment change anything? I think it should not, but I am not a pro in Windows OSes.

    PC Hunter 1.52 which I routinely use to dig thru inner workings and check for potential hidden driver filter/files, itself employs a hidden driver.

    This NVT Kernel Mode Driver Manager even displays enough of it although the details/location comes back "cannot find file on disk" which is completely normal.

    Remember the ??/ variable :cool:

    This utility will also display driver "stubs" i.e. .dlls. Not bad. Thought SysInternals WinObj only had that capability.

    Ah, good mention. Had completely forgotten WinObj which is another in the toolbox that collects cobwebs nowdays but you're so right after doing a side-by-side compare.

    You are right in your observation. It changes nothing. I just didn't disable ReHIPS, before running the utility. ;)

    @novirusthanks - How Marvelous. This is been another simple but useful relatively stable program, and while not quite a 'live" security program that gives off Alerts and provides real PC protection in the manner of ERP or OSA still a useful tool and was curious if there are any plans to update this one at some point from the back burner.

    It's listed as v1.4 currently on the appsvoid - Can we assume any other updates for it is needed or is it a Final Version.
