    Where are all Microsoft drivers listed for my hardware ? For example when i visit microsoft catalog and im searching for my device drivers by id im not getting full list of drivers that i would get by using windows update.

    Lets use intel me as an example.


    Microsoft catalog only shows 11.0.0.1181 when i have installed 2035.15.0.1807 by default and it used to be 1815.12.0.2021. So my question is where do i find all those drivers that were avaliable for my device in different period of time ?

    you can backup them via dism

    dism /online /export-driver /destination:X:\MyDrivers
    Where X is your drive letter :)

    One thing that never stops to amaze me is the level of understanding of people on the internet. Like you go to the shop and say : Please give me that two tomatoes and you see cashier that is putting two potatoes in front of you saying here you are. Thats my experience with every single forum ive seen on internet this far. Please respond to topic if you are willing to help in finding answer but do not start different topic on your own.

    Let me be more precise. If you could show me online database exactly like microsoft catalog but with all the drivers and not only 1 or 2 for my device. How is that windows update picks drivers for my device different than the ones i find looking by id. Im not talking about programs that extract drivers off windows. Im talking about database that i can access from for example android phone ( example. microsoft catalog) and search for drivers by id. To be even more precise it must be microsoft database not some 3rd party. So i can see all the drivers over the course of 1507 to 20h2 drivers that are offered. Is it even possible or i have to download each version of windows and see what it installs by default because there is different database that different versions use. Also insider preview has different database that is not present in mirosoft catalog. Maybe i was too harsh and not precise enough but all i wanted to ask for is if there is any kind of access to the drivers other than installing each version and comparing drivers.
