From startup manager main window find dpinst.exe process you want to delete or disable by clicking it then click right mouse button then select 'Delete selected item' to permanently delete it or select 'Disable selected item'. Jun 16, 2017 I accidently installed a looks to be anti virus software called DriverSupport. I was looking for different things and thought this was the thing I needed, but it wasn't. I am on windows 10 and I can't find any way to uninstall on it on windows 10. I looked it up on bing, google, youtube, etc. From startup manager main window find dpinst.exe process you want to delete or disable by clicking it then click right mouse button then select 'Delete selected item' to permanently delete.
In my recent struggles with using the Windows 7/8 PNPUtil.exe built-in utility, I went on a search for another means to handle installing my Plug and Play drivers. I’ve dabbled with the Devcon.exe utility in the past, but it is mostly meant for use with Windows XP and previous OSes. I then came across a utility that I’ve seen many times before. The DPInst.exe utility is one used by manufacturers for importing their drivers during installation. It is by far the most flexible and powerful utility of them all. Here is how I’ve come to use the utility and am very happy with the results.
Script I use to call the proper DPInst.exe utility (x86 or x64):
Both the x86 and x64 versions can use the same DPInst.XML, which MUST be placed in the same directory as the .EXE files:

Lastly, I toss all of my drivers in sub-folders. DPInstall is smart enough to re-curse through the directory tree and also install ONLY the drivers it needs (Matches a PNPID installed on the system).
It has exhibited issues installing Bluetooth and USB 3.0 drivers, but I believe that is because those devices have multiple sub-devices that appear after the initial driver is installed.
