Windows device driver installation and management tool.
This little self-contained, no-dependency tool can be built either as a console application or a Windows application which has no visible window (ideal to use in combination with setup makers). It offers a command-line-based driver (un-)installer and allows for simple manipulation of class filter entries. Run nefconc.exe --help
to see all the options offered.
Binaries are available to download in the releases page, just download and extract. However, if you are using a package manager, you can use one of the following options:
nefcon
is available in the Extras bucket:
scoop bucket add extras
scoop install nefcon
nefcon
is available in the winget-pkgs repository:
winget install nefcon
For a console example use nefconc
, for windowless execution use nefconw
binary.

nefconw --uninstall-driver --inf-path "Path\To\Inf.inf"
