Where are the driver files?

Hi, First post,
I've been playing with SDR dongles using SDR# in Win10. I have two dongles, where windows adds the drivers, then another program: Zadig changes the drivers to 'better' ones.

I've messed about with it till now the SDR program doesn't see the dongles.

What I want to do is have a fresh start. I want to find the dongle drivers, and delete them, then add them again.

Can anyone tell me how to find the drivers please?
Camerart.

What exact dongles do you have? Do not use Zadig as its a driver update software, which most are malware anyway. Get the correct drivers from the hardware maker.

At the SDR# webpage should have the USB driver. I can't remember what it's called. The driver should be under device manager in control panel. But that software may have fouled things up. I would get the proper driver and then do a system restore prior to installing the driver. That may help.

Hi J,
I have a Funcubepro+ and a RTL2832U
I'll try your suggestion.
Thanks,

Hi A,
I was told by another computer expert, that system restore should only be used as a last resort. I actually have 'fairly' recent back-ups that i could use, but this would be before massive updates, so they would need to be done also.
Thanks, C.
