You are speaking about the complete setupapi.dev.log? I dont think theres
more to the uninstallation of this driver than the lines Ive listed below
but Ill try to get the complete setupapi.dev.log from this machine if you
think this helps. Besides I think my questions are more a general one and
could be answered without logs:
Could this hidden driver effect be due to user privileges or some
Antivirus software installed on these machines?
What makes an uninstalled driver go into this hidden state and can this have
any subsequent negative effects if Im installing a new version of my driver
while the old version is still in this hidden state?
Kind regards,
Johannes Freyberger

How am I supposed to figure out the answer to your question without logs?

Hi all,
apart from the feedback hub discussion Id appreciate to get back to my
initial request. As described the driver is in hidden state also after a
reboot although setupapi.dev.log says it has been successfully removed. Are
there any answers to my questions in my first post (see below)?
Thanks and best regards,
Johannes

Objet : [wdmaudiodev] virtual audio driver removed via devcon, but it's only
hidden
Hi all,
when Im uninstalling my pure virtual audio driver on some W10, 1803
machines via devcon remove the driver the driver doesnt seem to be
uninstalled completely as it is still visible as hidden device in the device
manager even after a reboot. But in setupapi.dev.log the corresponding entry
says:
[Delete Device - ROOT\MEDIA\0006]
Section start 2018/10/12 09:52:11.354
cmd: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApplication\devcon.exe" remove
*MyDriver
dvi: Query-and-Remove succeeded
<<< Section end 2018/10/12 09:52:12.031
<<< [Exit status: SUCCESS]
On some other machines the drivers are completely gone and not in hidden
state.
Could this hidden driver effect be due to user privileges or some Antivir
software installed on these machines?
What makes an uninstalled driver go into this hidden state and can this have
any subsequent negative effects if Im installing a new version of my driver
while the old version is still in this hidden state?
Could this be something which is new since the 1803 update as I dont think
Ive seen this before?
Thanks and best regards,
Johannes Freyberger
