- deaddodo 2y agoThen you shouldn't be discussing, with authority, a topic you have no understanding/knowledge of. Pretty simple.
- Dalewyn 2y agoBeen using Windows since 3.1, my dude. I know Windows like the back of my hands. You can have multiple drivers for a device installed, but Windows will usually get very confused and/or the drivers will get very confused with themselves and things will get very janky very quickly. It's really not worth the pain and hilarity compared to just KISS'ing with one driver and nuking and installing as desired. DDU was invented for a reason. Anyway, Windows in Safe Mode will always fall back to its own default store of drivers. You can explicitly enable an exception for NICs, but otherwise no third-party drivers are loaded because the entire point of Safe Mode is to get Windows to boot using known-good, Microsoft-guaranteed drivers.
