The DriverStore folder (C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore) is used to store the third-party drivers for hardware by Windows. When you manually install a hardware driver, the corresponding driver files will be copied to this folder. When you uninstall this driver, the files should be removed too. However, if you just update a driver, then Windows will keep the old versions of this driver in case you encounter a problem and roll it back in the future. But the problem is that we almost never need to use those old drives.

Falcon Proxy – Simple, clear and easy-to-use proxies switcher for Chrome

The first thing to make clear is that proxies are not like VPN (Virtual Private Network), Shadowsocks, or some other Internet censorship circumvention applications. It mainly applies to two situations: 1) users want to hide their real IP address when surfing websites; 2) users want to choose to use the ISP (Internet Service Provider) that supports websites or online games well in order to get a better connection speed. The biggest drawback of proxies is that they are very easy to be invalid, therefore manually and frequently setting up the proxy for a web browser can be a very troublesome matter.

[v2.50, v3.00] MyDiskTest – Capacity expansion detector & identifier for Mobile storage devices

There are many ways to fake the displayed capacity info of any type of storage device (this is nothing new in the Chinese electronic marketplaces, where you have to have a third eye to avoid being cheated). For example, using the “subst” command to create a partition shortcut (which can be understood as a virtual partition); using “SFDISK” (hard disk partitioning tool under DOS) to modify the partition table information; using WinHex (to offset the DBR of disk to the target capacity), PC-3000 and similar tools to change disk information in the underlying hardware.

[v1.6.722, v1.0.2.0] DWS – Most popular Windows spyware one-click remover

If it’s just some defects and functional degradation in the design, it is negligible for us users. But Windows 10 is not only the one and only one disappointing product that could be like Windows Vista in the whole series.

Of course, developers with a little understanding of the web front-end technology can further customize and improve it according to their own needs with ease.
