Microsoft is testing a fundamental change in Windows 10 that will allow the operating system to move third-party drivers to a dedicated folder outside of System32. This innovation was first discovered by software researcher Albacore. He noticed that the drivers that are installed on the device are automatically moved to the OEMDRIVERS folder. Apparently, this is how Microsoft wants to isolate third-party drivers in Windows 10, similar to how it is implemented in Windows 10X.
Ghacks has confirmed that activating a feature in assembly 21343 moves third-party drivers. In current versions of Windows, all drivers are installed in the System32 folder, and this can be problematic from a security point of view. By default, this function is disabled, to activate it, you need the ViVeTool utility.
How to enable moving third-party drivers to a separate folder:
- Download the latest ViVeTool from the project’s GitHub page.
- Run PowerShell as administrator in the folder where you extracted the ViVeTool utility.
- Enter cmd and press Enter.
- Enter the command Vivetool.exe addconfig 26920259 2 and press Enter.
- In-Place Upgrade.
