Naturally, I didn’t allow Driver Updater to change that particular file. Incidentally, it’s worth checking the details of each driver, because when tested, it flagged an Nvidia High Definition driver for update, yet the update it proposed was older than my existing driver. Alternatively, there’s a large green button at the bottom of the interface that updates all the drivers with a single click. You then have the option to update the driver or click to ignore it. For example, the Diagnostics tab will highlight any out-of-date drivers, the display gives very concise details of what they are, the date of the current driver and the date of the new suggested driver. Although fairly obvious by their descriptions, there are other options to consider.

The interface is nice and clean, with tabs down the left-hand side listing the options you have available they include a System Overview, Diagnostics, Action Centre, Backup and Restore. This again only takes a few seconds, before you’re presented with a list of outdated drivers.

The program is quite small and takes just a few seconds to install, after which it will automatically scan your system for outdated drivers. Well, this latest product from Auslogics is said to overcome these problems by keeping your system device drivers up to date. Yet how many times have you installed a device only to find that it doesn’t work, or perhaps if it does, then something else in your system doesn’t work anymore? Some of these require the driver to be installed before you add the device, whereas others need the device installed first. Hardware, however, is a different animal altogether, because most devices need a device driver loaded before they will work.
