Hey, what is the best way to install drivers or to keep them up to date via windows update or is there an app that does a better job? Thanks! |

Would stay away from any of those driver updater things. Just let your windows sort it out. Only driver that actually ever needs updating is the video driver to be compatible with current games etc.

Thank you very much and thanks for your advise, once i broke my laptop doing updates so am wary. I had an app say i need to update drivers as they are out of date but didnt know why as i allways keep up to date using windows update.

The IObit driver booster looks really good, too scared to use it though!

@ savage01 - 2.06.22 - 07:37pm The IObit driver booster looks really good, too scared to use it though! Why do any drivers need a boosting? It makes no sense. Giving some 3rd party software low level access to your system smells more like a backdoor for selling out your information rather than actually helping. I have never used any of these things because they already sound cheesy enough to avoid. Your windows keeps your drivers in check for you and all else is managed by applications themselves. These are just bloatware bogging up your system nothing else. There is no security risks involved either with not having the latest drivers. They hardly ever even come by. You win nothing with it. If you have a gaming card then update it youreself when you get a new game benefitting from its optimization. |

There's fkn loads of those sheoite drive doctor etc apps. If you've got too much money to waste on that load of sheoite, give it to a charity instead. |
