我们已经了解了如何使用设备管理器^{(Device Manager)}在 Windows 中本地删除旧的和无用的驱动程序^{(remove old and useless drivers in Windows)}。GhostBuster是一个应用程序，它枚举所有设备，检测幻影设备，如果它们与可选设备类型和/或设备类匹配，只需单击鼠标即可将其删除。

删除^(Remove)旧的、未使用的、隐藏的设备驱动程序

默认情况下，Windows 10/8/7 不显示幻影设备。仅当满足两个条件时，Windows 才会显示幻影设备：^(Ghosted)

• 添加了值为 1的环境变量DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES 。
• View|Hidden设备^(Devices)菜单项，请在设备管理器^{(Device Manager)}（开始菜单^{(Start Menu)}和运行“^{(Run ‘)} compmgmt.msc”）中。

由于Windows必须通过尝试启动设备来检测设备是否出现重影，因此大量的重影设备会增加Windows的启动时间。删除这些设备的“常规”方法是右键单击每个设备，选择卸载菜单项，然后等待设备管理器^{(Device Manager)}卸载设备并重建其设备树。

Ghostbuster 一键完成所有操作，一键删除所有符合您自己选择标准的幻影设备！

您可以通过设备列表视图的右键单击上下文菜单来选择和取消选择类或设备。按下“删除重影”按钮时，只会卸载重影设备（灰色文本）和符合选择标准（浅黄色背景）的设备。所有其他设备保持不变。

请注意^(Beware)，Windows有相当数量的设备被重影但不应卸载（如声音、视频和游戏控制器类或系统中的设备和非即插即用设备）。GhostBuster将其中大部分标记为服务。请^(Please)注意，这些“幻影设备”也很有用，这也是^(Devices)Windows在您每次连接设备时都不会查找驱动程序的原因之一。

在删除任何未使用或幻影的驱动程序之前，请^(Please)格外小心。

Remove old, unused, hidden device drivers with GhostBuster in Windows

We have seen how to remove old and useless drivers in Windows natively, using the Device Manager. GhostBuster is an application that enumerates all the devices, detects ghosted devices, and removes these if they match selectable devices types and/or devices classes with a single mouse-click.

Remove old, unused, hidden device drivers

By default, Windows 10/8/7 does not show ghosted devices. Windows will show Ghosted devices only if two criteria are met:

• An environment variable DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES with a value of 1 is added.
• In Device Manager (Start Menu & Run ‘compmgmt.msc’ ) if you check the View|Hidden Devices menu item.

Because Windows has to detect if a device is ghosted by trying to start it, a large number of ghosted devices will add to the startup time of Windows. The ‘regular’ way of removing these devices is right-clicking each of them, select the uninstall menu item, and wait for the Device Manager to uninstall the device and rebuild its tree of devices.

Ghostbuster does this all in one click and removes all the ghosted devices matching your own selection criteria with a single click!

You can select and deselect classes or devices through the right-click context menu of the devices list-view. Only ghosted devices (grayed text) AND devices that match the selection criteria (light yellow background) will be uninstalled when the ‘Remove Ghosts’ button is pressed. All other devices remain untouched.

Beware that Windows has a fair number of devices that are ghosted but should not be uninstalled (like devices in the sound, video, and game controller class or system and non-plug-n-play devices). GhostBuster marks most of these as services. Please note that these “Ghosted Devices” can be useful as well and is one reason why Windows never looks for drivers every time you connect the device.

Please exercise the utmost caution before removing any unused or ghosted drivers.
