Hello all, In C:\Windows\System32 There is a "Drivers" folder with *.sys files and then there is another folder called "Driver Store". And I have read online that the Driver Store is a file respository for driver packages and so forth. But, what is the function of both of these folders? What is the difference between the Drivers folder and Driver Store? Thanks!

Hi, Please understand that C:\Windows\System32\config and C:\Windows\System32\drivers fold contain files are needed for Windows startup. Some services files, hosts file, and protocol file are included in C:\Windows\System32\drivers also. Kim Zhou TechNet Community Support

Thanks. Been investigating more and more files and folders in the root directory and seeing that. Appreciate the post!
