sound drivers keep reinstalling
In device manager, I have many sound drivers that I don't use anymore.
If I uninstall them, they get all reinstalled after a reboot.
How can I definitively remove them ?

If they are related to installed hardware, they will be reinstalled automatically.
You can of course try checking the box to remove the driver completely when you uninstall it.
Rather depends what they relate to.
Hello, they are related to bluetooth speakers that I don't use anymore.
There's no software that was installed for them. No special hardware too.
Thanks,. Again- have you done this?
- this one:You can of course try checking the box to remove the driver completely when you uninstall it.
Examine your Device Manager for any occurrences relating to them and remove them.
Still stuck? You might try Driver Store Explorer (rapr) - free.
Use with due caution.
There's no such checkbox for the drivers I want to remove.
Other drivers have that checkbox.
Thank you for your reply.
I've given you another option.
Feel free to post screenshots for clarity.
This did it :
windows 10 - Removed bluetooth device keeps re-appearing - Super User
btpair -u
Ah, you mean you hadn't actually unpaired/removed the device.
So Windows thought the device was still present.
As to your original question about 'many' drivers- see rapr.
