Ok, perfect. So I just mount index:1, add the drivers, unmount with commit, then repeat the process with index 2?

Holy smack, I knew I was missing something simple. Thank you very much!

I'm trying to do a fresh install of W11 on a brand new Acer laptop that came with W11 with all the regular bloatware. For some reason, I can't get the USB install stick to find the hard drive. I'm used DISM to inject the Intel RST drivers, and when I check, it appears the drivers are injected...

Thanks everyone for all the advice. I've run multiple scans on the system and found nothing. My takeaway is that the AV must have deleted this driver, or Windows lost its mind. Just in case, I wiped the drive and reinstalled. Very strange, but sometimes there isn't an answer. :)

Checked that. Nothing in there. Nothing in the main AV logs either. Good idea though.

Autoruns was a good idea, but it's not there either.

I just used Agent Ransack to search for 52433296.sys in every .inf file on the drive - no matches. How is it possible that a driver can try to load, but the .sys file doesn't exist and there's no mention of it in the registry or on the hard drive? The computer has an AV running - I suppose...

I'm in the process of scanning it with Malwarebytes. dir /s /a C:\52433296.sys finds nothing. I also searched the registry for 52433296 - nothing there as well. It's bizarre. I have to assume that it's another driver that's loading this .sys file.

I have a Windows 11 computer that started showing the following message: The weird part is that I can't find a 52433296.sys file on the computer. I did an attrib 52433296.sys /s from the root in an elevated prompt, but nothing is found. Any idea how I track down what this is and properly...
