DevManView is a free, lightweight alternative to the standard Windows Device Manager created by NirSoft. Instead of using a traditional tree-view layout, it displays all hardware components and drivers in a highly detailed, flat table, allowing you to inspect, disable, or uninstall multiple devices simultaneously.
This tutorial guide walks you through setting up and using its primary features. 📥 Step 1: Download and Execution
DevManView is portable, meaning it does not require installation.
Download the tool from the official NirSoft DevManView page. Ensure you pick the 32-bit or 64-bit version to match your Windows system.
Extract the downloaded .zip file into a folder of your choice.
Right-click DevManView.exe and select Run as Administrator to ensure it has full clearance to modify system drivers. 🔍 Step 2: Navigating the Flat Interface
Unlike Windows Device Manager, which hides details behind drop-downs, DevManView lays everything out horizontally.
Filter Views: Go to Options to filter out clutter. You can check Show Only Connected Devices to hide disconnected legacy hardware.
Mass Actions: You can click and drag or hold Ctrl to select multiple hardware entries at once.
