Here are the steps, for anyone interested in taking a look at unused USB device drivers. You might be surprised, as I was, how many there are.

To make Device Manager show devices that are not currently used:

RUN

CMD

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

devmgmt.msc

View, Show Hidden Devices

maximize the USB entries

icons for devices not currently connected are pale

right click, Uninstall (for those you know you no longer need)

EXIT
