You can update Windows Defender definitions, list drives, uninstall universal applications, find scheduled tasks in queue, create a system image, create a desktop shortcut to open Windows Store applications, and even get a list of installed drivers, to name a few.

Open PowerShell as administrator. To open a high PowerShell prompt, type powershell in the taskbar . You now see the Windows PowerShell result, which is displayed above. Right-click and select Run as administrator.
We use the Export-WindowsDriverDriver cmdlet to save your drivers. The Export-WindowsDriver cmdlet exports all third-party drivers of a Windows image to a target folder.
In the PowerShell window, type the following command and press Enter:
Export-WindowsDriver -Online destination D:DriverBackup
Here D:Driver Backup is the destination folder to which drivers are exported and saved.
You can also export drivers from an offline image. This command exports third-party drivers from an offline image included in c:offline-image :
Export-WindowsDriver -path c:offline-image -goal D:DriverBackup
For a detailed description, see TechNet.
Now see how to use PowerShell to create a list of disabled functions in Windows 10.
You can also use the built-in Device Manager to manage, back up, and restore your drivers. Then there are free programs like Double Driver, Driver Fusion, Driver Fusion, Free Driver Backup, etc. that will help you easily backup and restore drivers.
