May 9, 201610 yr I read on this forum a post that suggested using Driver Manager or something like that, however, I cannot remember the thread or the person who made the post, I think it was staff. I used to manually download and install all drivers, however, I am getting old, and with age, getting lazy. What is a good program to keep my drivers up to date? Thank you.
May 12, 201610 yr I use IObit's Driver booster 3 which works very well . I've also seen 'Driver Talent' strongly recommended. There seem to be many similar free programs but be aware that with all of them after installaion you will receive frequent popups inviting you to purchase the 'pro' version. Also be careful where you download them from and what you tick (or leave pre ticked) when installing or you might end up with a lot of bloatware/adware/malware. Michael Turner
May 12, 201610 yr Take a look here: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driversites/tp/free-driver-updater-tools.htm. Driver Booster comes out top. I'd always avoid anything which automatically installs updates as I've been caught out in the past with "updated" drivers which actually made my system worse. i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3

None of this with slimdrivers, its free, runs at startup and thats it
May 12, 201610 yr Payware - driveragent Very useful after just doing a new build - I only use it on a new build and its a subscription so if your in a bind and something is not quite right a one time purchase can get you out of a bind - one time purchase is good for a year and is not auto billed - have not needed it with Windows 10 but in Windows 7 used it a few times - it very accurate Had some control panel question marks I could not figure out how to get them cleared up - Driveragent took care of it with no problem Rich Sennett
