DISCLAIMER:
You may bluescreen, don’t cry to me if you do, simply load hive and re-enable the drivers.

List was made for W10 but this list has worked for many people on W7 and W8.1

Thank you to Melody, Zoyata, Dreammjow, CatGamerOP, Jalyx and Ravenouz for helping
me with this list.

I may have missed some drivers because I have some drivers stripped.

Drivers highlighted in ​RED ​mean you have to do multiple steps to disable them and / or
disabling them may have negative effects on latency / performance.
