Driver Verifier Manager is a built-in tool in Windows 10 that helps identify problematic drivers by testing their behavior. It’s a powerful utility commonly used by advanced users and IT professionals to troubleshoot system stability issues related to faulty or incompatible drivers.
If you're looking to open Driver Verifier Manager on your Windows 10 PC, here are four simple methods to get started.
Before jumping into the methods, it’s helpful to understand what this tool does. Driver Verifier Manager checks installed drivers for any irregularities by putting them under stress.
