I'm trying to follow these instructions to stop Bash Driver BHDrvx86 or BHDdrvx64, but device manager in Windows 8.1 no longer displays non plug and play drivers (such as the Bash drivers), even as a hidden option. I'm unsure how else to disable them.

You can't disable what was never there.

Device Manager generally should be run elevated, it doesn't show many things otherwise.
However, the same can be done from an elevated command line:
sc config BHDrvx86 start= disabled
sc config BHDdrvx64 start= disabled
(A space only after the = sign, exactly as shown in the example.)

putting a space before and after the = in command prompt, i got Description, Usage, Options (and under it Note), each with it's own instructions. Is that correct? – Erlja Jkdf. – 2015-05-12T13:46:06.530
@ErljaJkdf.: No, it isn't. You need to specify start= as a single word, like in the example. It's why I added that comment in the first place... – user1686 – 2015-05-12T14:49:09.667
Alright, clarified. – user1686 – 2015-05-12T19:11:05.220
The correct version is giving me [SC] OpenService FAILED 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service. – Erlja Jkdf. – 2015-05-14T07:51:50.910
It says "b. Choose View > Show hidden devices and look for the driver under 'Non-Plug and Play Drivers'". There is no 'Non-Plug and Play Drivers' – Erlja Jkdf. – 2015-05-12T13:29:17.160
You can use Autoruns to delete and/or disable these drivers. You sure these drivers are even installed based on your last comment. – Ramhound – 2015-05-17T09:19:40.093
you have a point. I'll see how it goes. – Erlja Jkdf. – 2015-05-17T09:26:07.400
