How do I remove the MAGIX Youcast Virtual Camera. This was left over from some OEM bloatware. The vendor doesn't say.

I've tried adding the env variable DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES = 1 which enables the function "Show hidden devices" in Device Manager but I still cannot find it.

I think I have found the driver file in C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers "YcVirtS2M.sys" which is the only Magix driver in there. Can I use something like pnputil to delete it safely? Is that how it works?

Can't you remove it, or at least disable it, in the Device Manager?
