INF files are plain text files, so you can open them with any text editor, such as Notepad.
Editing the INF File:
If you accidentally delete oem69.inf but still need the driver: oem69.inf
Never delete oem69.inf manually without cleanup. Instead:
After reboot, use pnputil to remove the driver package completely: INF files are plain text files, so you
pnputil /delete-driver oem69.inf /uninstall
Consider removal if:
A managed laptop shows oem69.inf created during a VPN software deployment (e.g., Cisco AnyConnect). Even after uninstalling the VPN, the INF remains. The admin safely deletes it using pnputil /delete-driver oem69.inf /uninstall to clean up residual driver packages. Editing the INF File :
For a more systematic approach, use PowerShell:
Get-WindowsDriver -Online | Where-Object $_.Driver -like "*oem69.inf*"
This returns:
Windows maintains a centralized repository called the Driver Store (C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository). Each driver package in the store has a folder named something like prnca00.inf_amd64_12345678. The oem69.inf file is essentially a pointer to that staged driver. When you delete oem69.inf via pnputil, the staged driver is also removed.
