Kernel Mode Drivers Manager – List All Loaded Kernel Mode Drivers

Kernel Mode Drivers Manager is a tool which lists all loaded kernel mode drivers running within the system and offers information such as driver name, load address, module size, file publisher, and file description. Simply run the program on any 32 or 64-bit version of Windows (2000/ XP/ Vista/ 7/ Server 2003 and 2008 are supported) for the full list of loaded drivers. This includes the file path and name, publisher, description and load order, most usefully, although the driver’s base address and image size are also available if you need them.

Kernel Mode Drivers Manager can highlight suspect files, though slightly bizarrely this isn’t turned on by default. Right-click within the list, select “Highlight Suspicious Modules”, and if the program thinks a driver is dubious for whatever reason then it’ll be highlighted in red.

[advt]The program can also hide Microsoft drivers with another right-click option. That can be handy when you’re troubleshooting as you’ll then see only drivers associated with applications you’ve installed.

If you spot a driver you don’t recognize, then right-click it, select Search on Google > Filename, and a browser window should open with more information. And Kernel Mode Drivers Manager can even copy some or all of your drivers to a folder somewhere, which may be useful if you need to analyse them in some other way.
