Hi ,

I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

Well, if you say how to check the list of installed drivers and how to remove them, it is explained in the procedure below:

Open Windows Terminal (Admin), and select either Windows PowerShell
Copy and paste the command below into Windows Terminal (Admin), and press Enter to see a list of all 3rd party drivers from the driver store.

dism /online /get-drivers /format:table

Make note of the Published Name (ex: "oem13.inf") of the driver you want to uninstall.

4.. Type the command below into Windows Terminal (Admin), and press Enter.

However, I do not recommend uninstalling them. Perhaps the drivers listed are necessary for other components besides the motherboard and chipset. Remove these drivers even if they are not being used. It helps for plug-and-play devices. Windows usually only keeps the necessary drivers that are used by the system.
