Hello, I want to search for dynamic-link libraries and system drivers published by NVIDIA corporation. I know files store a digital signature that contain their publisher but I see no way to search by publisher. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Windows itself does not have this feature to search by publisher. Always under Advanced Search setting, we could only set Date modified, Kind, Size, Other properties (file type, name, folder path) these option to search file or folder.
    So try to search by publisher, I consider some tools may be a good choice such as Autoruns.

    Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.
    Best Regards,
