How do I script a device driver change in Powershell?

Question

I have two device drivers to choose from for a NVMe SSD under :

Device Manager -> Device -> Update Drivers -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer -> Select one of two available drivers.

While changing from the UI works fine, I have not found much on scripting this in my searches so far. Using PnPUtils and DevCon to disable the driver results in a BSOD. If anyone could point me to the documentation for something like this it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi，

There's no such powershell cmdlet. You still have to call pnputil in a powershell script. Have you checked the dump files for the cause of the BSOD?

To update the driver you can refer to this link
