    Hello I wrote a script to save all current files to C drive
    in a folder called DRIVERS

    for backup or import ...into new installation.
    figured it would be handy for someone who installs winders alot like me.
    " ExportDrivers.ps1" save as and run with PS.

    Code:
    
if (!([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator")) { Start-Process powershell.exe "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File `"$PSCommandPath`"" -Verb RunAs; exit }
mkdir C:\Drivers

DISM.exe /Online /Export-Driver /Destination:C:\Drivers

    Similar to my ghetto compiled one au3

    Code:
    ;;Win10 Dirver Backup
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

#RequireAdmin

Sleep(200)
Run(@SystemDir & "\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe")
ConsoleWrite(@SystemDir & "\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" & @CRLF)
Sleep(200)
WinWait("Powershell")
WinActivate("Powershell")
Send("Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted")
Sleep(200)
Send("{ENTER}")
Sleep(3000)
Send("a")
Sleep(200)
Send("{ENTER}")
SplashTextOn("Wait", "Waiting for finish")
Sleep(5000)
SplashOff()
$dPath = DirCreate(@WorkingDir & "\DriverBackup")
Send("Export-WindowsDriver -Online -Destination " & $dPath)
Sleep(200)
Send("{ENTER}")

    I think pnputil is the best method, not using dism.
    No need to mess, exports all drives
    pnputil /export-driver * C:\Drivers
    Re install commands
    Cd C:\Drivers
    pnputil /add-driver *.inf /install /subdirs
