      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Trying to use PnPUtil to list and remove leftover VMware drivers after migration.

      The PnPUtil works fine on the VM while on VMware, after the migration something related to the driver store appears corrupted and the utility stops working properly.

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Makes it harder to remove drivers.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      • MTV 2.9.3
      • virt-v2v-2.7.1-10.el9_6.x86_64

      How reproducible is this bug?

      Always

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Install fresh Windows 11 on VMware
      2. Install latest VMware Tools
      3. Reboot
      4. Run pnputil -e
      5. Shutdown
      6. Use MTV to migrate to OpenShift
      7. Wait for it to do all the reboots and stabilize
      8. Run pnputil -e

      Expected results

      Full output as seen on the VM while on VMware

      Actual results

      Enumeration of driver packages failed : The parameter is incorrect.
