To maintain the normal operation of the computer, it is necessary to update drivers from time to time, but searching for and installing them manually is boring and time consuming. And why? After all, this work is easy to automate. Let's take a look at ten today. the best programs to update drivers on PCs and laptops of all brands and models.

Intel Driver Update Utility Installer is a proprietary utility for searching and updating drivers for any Intel products (processors, system logic, network devices, drives, server components, etc.). Compatible with Windows XP, 7 and newer editions of this system.

The hardware of the PC on which it is installed is automatically recognized by the utility. Checking for new driver versions on the Intel website is done by clicking the "Search" button, downloading and installing - at the request of the user.

In addition, the Intel Driver Update Utility Installer allows you to find and download drivers for any other Intel devices of your choice from the list (option "Search manually").

The developers warn that the application installs only typical drivers that do not take into account the features of a particular brand of computer. Therefore, before launching it, it is worth visiting the website of the manufacturer of your PC or laptop and checking if there is anything suitable there.

AMD Driver Autodetect

AMD Driver Autodetect is a similar proprietary tool from AMD. Designed to keep the video card drivers of this brand up to date (except for AMD FirePro).

After installation, the utility will monitor the relevance of video drivers and ensure their timely updates. It automatically determines the model of the video card installed on the PC, as well as the bit depth and version of the operating system. When launched, it checks to see if there is a fresh driver on the AMD website. If there is, it informs about it and offers to download it. To start the installation, the user just needs to confirm his consent by clicking on the "Install" button.

AMD Driver Autodetect is also available exclusively for Windows.

NVIDIA Update

NVIDIA Update is a proprietary Windows utility for installing drivers on NVIDIA devices. Like AMD Driver Autodetect, it independently recognizes hardware models and checks for the latest driver on the manufacturer's website. The decision to install is up to the user.

Driver Pack Solution

DriverPack Solution is a lifesaver for service engineers, system administrators and those who earn extra money by providing services for installing Windows and programs. The application is a huge collection of drivers for devices of various brands and models, as well as a module for installing them.

DriverPack Solution is released in two versions - online and offline.

• The online distribution is designed to be used on a PC that has an Internet connection. Its difference is a small file size (285 Kb). Once launched, the program scans Windows for installed drivers and the relevance of their versions, after which it connects to the database (on its own server) and performs automatic updates.
• The offline distribution (size 10.2 Gb) is intended for installing drivers on a machine that is not connected to the Internet. In addition to the installer, it comes with a base of 960,000 drivers for Windows 7, XP, Vista, 8 (8.1) and 10, both for 32 bit and 64 bit. After launch, the scanning module recognizes device types and installs drivers from its own offline database.

The online version of DriverPack Solution is convenient for permanent home use. In addition to monitoring the relevance of drivers, it allows the user to automatically install and update individual applications, remove software junk, view a list of equipment, information about operating system and computer security.

The offline version is an emergency solution. Its task is not to select the best, but simply the right driver to start the device. And then update it online.

DriverPack Solution and the proprietary utilities listed above are completely free.

Driver Genius

Driver Genius is a universal driver management tool. The latest edition of the program is the sixteenth, optimized for Windows 8 and 10, but can also run on older systems.

In addition to updating the versions of installed drivers, Driver Genius can:

• Remove unused and failed drivers.

The backup feature is a real treasure for those who frequently reinstall Windows. However, the program itself is by no means a gift: the cost of one license is $29.95. You can use it for free only for 30 days.

Snappy Driver Installer

Snappy Driver Installer is an application created by one of the developers of DriverPack Solution and has a lot in common with the latter. Also available in two versions: SDI Lite and SDI Full.
