subject: What is the Easy Way to Keep Your Windows Drivers Up to Date [print this page] Windows needs the correct driver for each device connected to your PC. Not only that, but it should also be the latest driver. Given that PCs nowadays have a lot of devices connected to them, keeping all drivers up to date can quickly become a time consuming and complicated task. Fortunately, you can automate this task.
If you know a fair bit about Windows, getting the right drivers is not a big problem. Although it can quickly become time consuming. You have to go to the websites of the hardware vendors in order to get the new drivers. But for people who are not interested in learning how Windows works, updating your device drivers manually can easily become a painful exercise.
Using the current drivers ensures that you get access to all the features the hardware has. But the latest drivers will also optimize performance, making your PC faster. Another benefit of using the current drivers is that problems, or bugs as they are called in the software world, in earlier driver versions have been removed.
People who are not used to downloading from the Internet can easily get into trouble when downloading new drivers. In some cases, the drivers may be infected with viruses, spyware or other malicious software, if you download them from the wrong site. This is not as common as some people believe but it has happened. You can avoid this problem by downloading all your device drivers from the same site, something that can be done if you automate your upgrades.
Automating the upgrade of your device drivers becomes really handy if you have more than one PC to manage. It can be a hassle updating just one PC, having more than one PC to take care of makes it almost mandatory to automate driver updates.
Nowadays, you can automate your updates by using special software that will scan your PC, select the necessary updates for you, download them from the Internet and install them on your PC. All done in the background while you can use your PC for other tasks.
