How to Restore Deleted Drivers

Posted on by

Accidentally deleting drivers you need can cause problems. Hardware won’t function properly–or at all without the drivers needed to run it. In many cases, finding the drivers you need can be difficult, especially if you don’t have an installation CD. Using System Restore can undo the driver deletion, because a restore point is created every time you change something on your computer.

Method A:

  • Save your work and close all programs. You will be restarting your computer during the process.
    Click “Start” from the task bar and then choose “All Programs.”
    Click “Accessories” from the program menu. Choose “System Tools” from the side pop-out menu and then select “System Restore.”
    Click “Restore my computer to an earlier time” from the Welcome screen. Click “Next” at the bottom.
    Choose a date in bold from the calendar shown on the Restore Point page. The date that you choose should be an earlier one, like a day or two before the deletion occurred. Click “Next” at the bottom of the window.
    Click “Next” on the next page. The restoration begins, and your computer will restart.
    Click “OK” from the completion window that appears when your computer loads again.

Method B:

Wiserecovery is an excellent recovery program. There are three recovery modules on the main window of the interface:

  • Download WiseRecovery Software, install it and launch it. Click the “Start Scan” button on the main window of WiseRecovery.
  • You can see the list of all volumes found on your computer, select the exact drive and click the “Next” button to start scanning. If you can’t see the drive, please make sure your external drives are connected, and click ‘Refresh’ button.
  • It will take about 2-10 minutes to scan, it depends on your disk size and files amount on the disk. After scanning is finished, you can preview text document and picture files.
  • Select the files or folders that you want to recover and press the “Recover” button, on the popup window, please select target directory to save the recovered files. WiseRecovery will recover files instantly. Now you can click “open the destination directory” button to see the recovered files!
  • Note: Please don’t recover the file to the disk you are recovering files from!

Method C:

  • Download & install DriverTuner.
  • Click the down arrow button on upper right interface and choose to enter license.
  • Scan for new drivers.
  • Click download (just download drivers you want, you don’t need to download all drivers)
  • After download completed, click ‘setup’ button to install it.
  • Reboot computer.
