[SOLVED] Windows 10 Drivers folder deleted by accident.

[DudeMan42]

I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 and Windows 7.
Windows was not launching after installing modded AMD drivers, so I deleted the drivers and driverstore folders in system32 using command prompt by mistake.
So how can I get the Windows 10 drivers folder back?

unless the folder are still in recycle
reinstall windows.

reinstall is only way, you can delete some drivers from store if you want but you can't recreate it without a reinstall.

I tried to reset, but the windows 10 boot manager won't start properly, and using a usb doesn't give me the option to reset, I have no system restore point.

might need to clean install win 10... are they both on same drive? (7 & 10 I mean)
likely deleting driver store doesn't help the reset process.

so you have an installer?
can you access the files on win 10 from win 7? I would copy anything over you want to save
If you can't

• on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
• choose troubleshoot
• choose advanced
• choose command prompt
• type notepad and press enter
• in notepad, select file>open
• Use file explorer to copy any files you need to save to USB or hdd

I would clean install win 10. At least it should add itself to win 7 boot loader so that is one thing

I don't know if it will fix the win 7 boot loader.
