Just because a driver is grayed out doesn’t necessarily mean that it is non-essential. For example, my printer driver was grayed out, UNTIL I TURNED THE PRINTER ON, then it was no longer grayed out. The same holds true for other external devices. I am reluctant to, willy-nilly, uninstall grayed out drivers. For example, I don’t know what a “ST310003 40AS USB Device” or a WD 5000AAK External USB Device” is either. They are both grayed out, but if I uninstall them, and essential, how would I get them back. One more thing, I opened “Display adapters, and find a grayed out item: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 Ultra driver and when I looked into details, I find that it is a newer version of the driver than the one which is currently being used (not grayed out). What to do, what to do. While this video sounds very helpful, for me it raises more questions and issues that it solved.
