Which utility displays a list of all device drivers currently loaded in the system?

• A. API Monitor
• B. PA File Sight
• C. DNSQuerySniffer
• D. DriverView

Answer: (D)

Windows loads device drivers as kernel-mode modules, and DriverView lists all of these currently loaded drivers. This NirSoft utility enumerates each driver with details such as description, file path, base address, memory usage, and vendor, making it easy to verify what’s active and troubleshoot driver-related problems. It’s specifically focused on the drivers themselves, rather than other system activities. The other tools don’t fit because they serve different purposes: API Monitor tracks API calls made by applications, not the list of loaded drivers; PA File Sight monitors file access and changes; DNSQuerySniffer captures DNS queries. DriverView is the one designed to display the set of drivers currently loaded in the system.
