identify all instance id's in output of pnputil and then sends remove-device command for each

[imyashy]

Hi Gents,

I'm looking for some help please. I need a batch script that identifies all instance id's using an output from pnputil and then removes the corresponding devices according to their instance id. I am using windows 10 and windows 11.


1. Run's pnputil /enum-devices /class "smartcardreader"

Code: Select all

2. Remembers all the instance IDsin the above output or outputs them to a temporary txt file i.e. instanceids.txt
3. Run's pnputil /remove-device "instance id" for each instance id remembered or outputted in the txt file above. When using the /remove-device command the instance ids should have a " before and after

e.g /pnputil /remove-device "USB\VID_076B&PID_5121\OKCM0021802141932272863198160893"

Any help would be appreciated.

1)Pipe the output to the FINDSTR command to isolate the Instance ID.
2) Capture that command output with a FOR /F command like you have done in other batch files.
3) Run the command to remove the device with that output.

Make an attempt.
