Exporting device manager to a txt file

I am trying to create a .bat file that when ran, it exports all of the devices from device manager to a .txt file.

Everything I have found hasn't been clear.

Just looking for some guidance on the command to execute this export. Thanks

All the content from the device manager? I believe this is what you are looking for. It does take a minute or two to run though and it is easier to read in .xml format, but here you go.


SET msinfo32="%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo\msinfo32.exe"
%msinfo32% /nfo hwdres.nfo /categories +resources
rename hwdres.nfo hwdres.txt

The details listed under the "Components" section is what I believe you are after.

You can generate a text report like this way in a bacth file :

@echo off
Title Generate a text report for Devices manager
Mode con cols=80 lines=3
cls & color 0A & echo.
Set "LogFile=DeviceManager.txt"
echo Please wait a while we generate the report in %LogFile% .....
start /wait msinfo32 /report %LogFile%
start "" notepad %LogFile%
