Hello there guys, I've known this procedure for a long time already and I just want to share it to you guys just in case you still don't know how to do this, This procedure can possibly speed up your system and most of all can save you from those errors and BSODs. So without further adieu, Let's get started.
MAKE SURE TO CREATE A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT BEFORE DOING THIS. I'AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE THAT YOU WILL POSSIBLE CAUSE TO YOUR SYSTEM
Step 1- Go into your Start Menu and type "cmd" (Without the quotes) on the search bar, Right click it as Run as Administrator and Allow the UAC Prompt.
Step 2 - Once Command Prompt is running, type in "set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1" (Without the quotes) then hit Enter.
Step 3 - Once the command has been executed, type in "devmgmt.msc" (Without the quotes) then hit Enter, After executing this command, The Device Manager will be launched.
Step 4 - After Device Manager is launched, Click View and select Show Hidden Devices.
Step 5 - After doing the above procedure, Go into each section and uninstall the Drivers with Faded Icons, Make sure to look them up on Google so you won't end up removing needed drivers. The most important section to sort through is the Non-Plug and Play Drivers section as it is the section where most unneeded drivers from your old software are listed. Make sure to look them up on Google too. Next procedure is, Right Click on your selected unneeded driver then Select Uninstall the select OK to confirm. Do this to all the unneeded drivers then restart your system for the changes to take effect.
