Windows drivers can of course also be managed via the command line. Microsoft offers two different tools for this purpose: The PnPUtil integrated in Windows and as part of the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) the command: devcon.

PnPUtil

PNPUtil is located by default in the folder c:\windows\system32 and therefore does not need to be downloaded or installed separately.

Install driver

pnputil -i -a driver.inf

devcon

devcon is part of the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).
