Driver Update Tools for Windows
If you want the -
o
While it’s likely that you
already have the most recent driver, if you’re having trouble with a device,
you can try fixing it by updating or reinstalling the driver. Here’s how:
1. Select the Start
button, type Device Manager, then select it from the list of results.
2. Expand one
of the categories to find the name of your device, then right-click (or tap and
hold) it, and select Update Driver Software.
3. Select Search
automatically for updated driver software.
4. If Windows
doesn’t find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device
manufacturer’s website and follow their instructions.
If these steps don’t
work, try reinstalling the driver: open Device Manager,
right-click (or tap and hold) the name of the device, and select Uninstall.
Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
Some other modes to download the drivers for windows are:-
IObit Driver
Booster
Driver Booster has support for over 200,000 driver types, and it keeps a backup
of old drivers to ensure your system doesn’t break even if something goes wrong. Apart from updating drivers, it also fixes faulty and missing drivers if it finds any while scanning. Furthermore, it keeps a strict tab on drivers and components required for gaming to ensure you have the best gaming experience.
Don’t
worry about the source it uses to download drivers, as all the downloaded
drivers are WHQL-passed.
Driver Talent
Driver Talent is another popular driver update software, but it isn’t really that
fair with free users unlike Driver Booster. Driver Talent will scan and download the required drivers for free, but you will have to manually install them by browsing the files (very inconvenient). It has a dedicated game component downloader that will download all the components required by games.
Driver Talent is
definitely worth a look if you want the pro version; otherwise it can be a
headache to use the free version as it requires too much manual
interaction.
SlimDrivers
If you
are looking for something with the least bells and whistles,
then SlimDrivers is perfect. It uses a cloud-based scan system instead of a predefined drivers scan. This ensures all types of drivers get updated. With the free version of SlimDrivers, you can easily scan and download individual updates with the click of a button. You can opt for the pro version to download updates in batch and automatically complete the whole process, including backup. In our testing, SlimDrivers was fast and didn’t impose any strict restrictions on the free version, not even bandwidth restriction.

Free Driver Updater (Driver Doctor)
Device Doctor is a free Windows application that scans your computer hardware and checks to see if there are new driver updates available for your devices. It also locates drivers for "unidentified devices" in the Windows Device ManagerJust click on 'Begin Scan' to detect your hardware; Device Doctor queries our manufacturer driver database and immediately fetches the correct driver files for your computer.
DriverIdentifier
This is
a freeware driver update software with a unique feature that may beat all
of the above-mentioned tools. If you did a clean install of Windows, there is a chance you might not have the network drivers to even connect to a network. In such a scenario, the above toops will be useless as they cannot download the updated network driver. However, DriverIdentifierlets you scan for the required drivers and gives you an HTML file with download links. You can take that HTML file to any other PC that has an Internet connection and use it to download the required drivers. Apart from this handy feature, it can also easily update drivers with the click of a button and create driver backups as well.
