(POWERSHELL - DELETE ANY HP 3RD PARTY DRIVERS)
# Find and remove all drivers associated with HP providers
Get-WindowsDriver -Online | Where-Object {
    $_.ProviderName -like "*HP*" -or $_.ProviderName -like "*Hewlett-Packard*"
} | ForEach-Object {
    $infName = $_.Driver
    Write-Host "Removing HP driver package: $infName ($($_.ProviderName))" -ForegroundColor Yellow
    pnputil /delete-driver $infName /uninstall /force
}



(HOW TO DELETE MANUALLY)

## Run this to get the list of 3rd party drivers.
dism /online /get-drivers /format:table
## run this to delete any detected. replace the oem# in the list.
pnputil /delete-driver oem41.inf /uninstall /force
