Good day!
Drivers are like gears in a mechanism, if they are not on your computer (or they are not "native") - the system does not work in normal mode: then something hangs, then it does not start, various slowdowns and errors.
Video and audio drivers are especially difficult (in the first case - problems with games, in the second - no sound). I think that is why there has always been an interest in programs that allow you to update drivers without the direct participation of the user (so that you press 1 button and that's it ...).
Actually, in this article I decided to collect a dozen of similar programs that will help save time and nerves in case of problems with drivers.
By the way, the list of programs below is relevant at the beginning of 2018, presented, in a way, the top 10 best products with their pros / cons.
And so, more to the point ...
Driver booster
It is considered to be one of the best auto-search and driver update programs. Judge for yourself: to start the update - you only need to press one button! After that, the program will scan your PC, and show for each of your hardware current version driver (will recommend what to update, and what you can leave - you just have to agree and update everything. Very quickly and conveniently ☺).
In addition to drivers, the program also updates important components in Windows related to games (so if you have problems with them, it may be worth checking your system with driver Booster).
Note: An Internet connection is required for Driver Booster to work.
Driver Booster - found 18 outdated drivers // example of the program
Features:
- a simple and convenient interface that even a completely novice user can figure out;
- a huge database of drivers, which is constantly updated (for more than 1 million devices);
- the update process takes place in 2 stages: first, the program scans your PC, then asks you what exactly it will update (you can simply agree with the recommended settings, or you can configure everything yourself);
- before updating - the program archives your old drivers (so that you can roll back if something happens ...);
- there is a batch driver update (i.e. for several devices at once).
DriverPack Solution
DriverPack Solution (or DPS) is fundamentally different from Driver Booster - it can work even without an Internet connection. DPS just has 2 versions of the program:
- the first is a 15 GB ISO image. If you download it in advance, then later you can run DPS and install drivers on any PC that does not have Internet (for example, sometimes it happens that the computer is connected to the network - but does not work lAN card due to the lack of a driver (which must be downloaded ☺). In this case, such an image helps a lot!);
- second - regular programsimilar to Driver Booster. You also start it, then DPS scans the PC, and then downloads all the necessary drivers from the Internet.
Features:
- there are two versions of the program: one for online updating, and the second for offline work (an ISO image with a large collection of drivers can greatly help out in case of network problems);
- a large database of drivers (usually found for all equipment);
- in addition to the DPS drivers, it offers to install other necessary and useful programs (conveniently);
- batch driver update;
- the ability to create a backup of drivers;
- it is possible to conduct an anti-virus scan of the PC, check the RAM, etc.;
- of the minuses: the latest versions have a lot of ads built in, see carefully behind all the checkboxes!
Important!
DriverHub
Completely free utility for auto-search, installation, and driver updates. I note right away that the utility needs access to the Internet!
The use is very simple: just start and press just 1 button "Find Now" (as shown in the screenshot below).
In a minute or two, a driver will be found for each piece of hardware on your PC / laptop (see example below). You just have to tick off all that you want to update and click the "Install" button. Actually, this is the whole process. Very convenient!
List of found drivers (DriverHub) / clickable
Features:
- a large database of drivers for a wide variety of equipment: audio and video cards, USB devices (scanners, printers, etc.), mat. boards, etc .;
- when updating, the utility uses drivers from the official sites: Intel, AMD, Microsoft, Sony, etc.
- completely free: download speed, the number of updated drivers, etc. moments are not limited in any way!
- it is possible to roll back the system to a previous state (if you are not satisfied with how the new driver works);
- the program is completely in Russian;
- the menu has links for quick setup OS: power supply, disk manager, computer management, network management, etc.
- works in Windows 7/8/10 (32/64 bits).
note: on all the "checkboxes" during installation (sometimes the Avast download offer pops up)! Besides, the program does not behave very well on laptops with low resolution (the window is not "scaled").
Snappy Driver Installer
Approx. : Can work without Internet access.
Snappy Driver Installer is a free auto-installer of drivers (very similar to DriverPack Solution, a direct competitor to it, although the package is not so popular). What distinguishes it from the previous program (DPS) is that the offline version is not distributed in the form of an ISO image (to open which you need additional programs), and in the form of a simple folder with an EXE file, they launched it, and the drivers were updated. Very comfortably!
By the way, Snappy Driver Installer also has a compact version, the size of which is only a few megabytes. But it requires an internet connection to work.
Features:
- a huge collection of drivers for all occasions (I recommend writing it to an emergency flash drive so that it is always at hand);
- two versions of the package: full 14 GB (without the need for an Internet connection), and compact - the program weighs 4 MB (but you need unlimited access to the network);
- a minimum of advertising and unnecessary programs;
- quick update;
- customizable shell for the user's taste;
- completely in Russian.
Utilities from Intel, AMD, NVIDIA
Intel Driver Update
An official utility from Intel that will help update drivers for any product of this company: processor, network devices, disks, and more. Compatible with all versions of Windows, completely in Russian.
After launching the utility, it will automatically recognize the hardware and find all the software it needs to work properly. Installation of drivers takes place completely in automatic mode.
In general, if you use Intel products, of course, I recommend using native utility ☺. The rest, it is unlikely to be useful ...
AMD Driver Autodetect
These are tools for automatically finding the video driver for AMD products. Once launched, the utility will automatically detect your video card, system and other characteristics and provide a link to download the optimal driver.
The utility is completely in Russian, works in windows environment... The program, by the way, can be used not only to search for a driver, but also to update an already installed one (you must agree that it is much easier to press one button in the program than to independently climb through the wilds of official sites, where there is a mountain of all the semi-necessary information ☺).
NVIDIA Update
Official utility for NVIDIA users. After running the utility, it will scan all your hardware on your PC, assess if there are drivers for them, and offer to update them (if necessary). By the way, in the settings profiles, you can set how often updates will be checked (whether to allow the use of beta versions, whether to notify pop-up messages in the tray).
By the way, starting with the R275 drivers, NVIDIA Update updates not only drivers, but also game profiles automatically (including SLI profiles). I will also add that on the official website (the link is given above) the step-by-step configuration of the program is scheduled (although there is nothing special to configure there ☺).
Driver genius
A very popular program for working with drivers. It is quite versatile: it can automatically find and update to latest version drivers, create backups of already installed drivers, restore lost ones, delete old and unnecessary ones. It's easy to use: after starting the program, it will automatically collect information about your PC, hardware, evaluate the system and offer an update option. Supports Russian.
Features:
- a huge database of drivers, support for more than 300,000 different devices;
- backup of current drivers (moreover, you can put them either in the archive or create an EXE installer so that in case of problems you can run it and install drivers without Driver Genius);
- the ability to remove old or redundant drivers;
- command line support;
- russian language support;
- works under all popular Windows: 7/8/10 (32/64 bits);
- of the minuses: the program is paid (in the free version there is a limitation on updating and working with a backup).
SlimDrivers
A free and rather multifunctional program for automatic search and updating of drivers (by the way, it copes with this quite well). In addition to its main responsibility (☺), the program does a good job of creating backup copies of "firewood" (and in case of problems - restoring them). There is also a task scheduler (for example, for regularly checking for updates), there is a function to remove any driver from the system (clean!).
Features:
- quick automatic search and update;
- task Manager;
- function complete removal old or unnecessary driver;
- backup and restore;
- all functions work in the free version (many similar utilities ask for payment for the same functionality);
- works in all common Windows: 7/8/10;
- of the minuses: an abundance of advertising during installation (see carefully at the checkboxes).
Subsidiary
3DP Net
3DP Net - specialized utility, which is required to update the driver for network adapter (network card). Imagine: you don't have the Internet, because the network card does not work (there is no driver for it). And for the network card to work, you need a driver that is available on the Internet.
How to solve this puzzle? That's right, download 3DP Net, the size of which is only about 100 MB (you can use your smartphone), and run it - the utility will automatically select the driver and you will have a network. Recommend!
Note: please note that there are 2 utilities on the official website - 3DP Chip and 3DP Net (we are talking about the second one!).
Double Driver
Developer site: http://www.boozet.org/
This small free utility is required to create a backup of all installed drivers. Moreover, she does this very quickly (often the time required is no more than 1 minute!).
I want to note that the drivers in the utility are displayed in a convenient list (in order), which can be saved or printed. The drivers in the backup also lie carefully, each in a hotel folder, the names of which are identical to your devices.
In general, it is an extremely necessary, useful and free utility (similar programs for backups cost money) ...
Driver sweeper
Developer site: http://phyxion.net/
Simple and reliable program to remove absolutely any drivers in the system clean! Be careful with her, because it does not limit you very much in your possibilities. It helps a lot in those cases when you can't remove any driver "stuck" in the system (or you can't see it and can't find it, but it is there ☺).
Before deleting it, you can create a backup copy of all "firewood" (just in case) ... The program works in all windows versions, Russian language is supported.
DDU
A simple and effective utility for completely removing the video driver from the system (I think many have encountered the problem of updating the video driver, due to the fact that the new one was not installed until the old one was completely removed). This is exactly what DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) can handle.
The program supports all software for video cards from manufacturers AMD, Intel, NVIDIA (including various registry keys, components, folders, etc.). I would also like to note that after DDU is running, your system does not have any traces of the presence of the old driver.
Display Driver Uninstaller has three modes of operation: the first is a simple removal of the driver and restarting the PC / laptop; the second is the usual deletion (reboot is on your conscience ☺); the third is to remove and turn off the PC.
By the way, the utility keeps a log, which records all the actions that you perform. For example, you can use it to see which driver versions have already been installed (it is convenient if you are looking for the current working version of the driver, and do not remember which ones you have already tried).
Results (what to remember!)
- one of the most simple ways update all drivers and game components in Windows - use Driver Booster;
- if you do not know for which device you do not have a driver, open device Manager: a yellow exclamation mark will light up next to a device for which there is no driver;
- it is highly advisable to write some driver package that can work on the emergency flash drive ahead of time without internet connection (e.g. Snappy Driver Installer or DriverPack Solutions (if the choice fell on the second program, then additionally discard the program for opening ISO images));
- if you have failed to update driver via automatic update in similar programs - try the manual way:
That's all for me, for additions on the topic - a separate thanks in advance!
Users often encounter problems associated not with "bugs" in programs or the operating system, but with drivers. For example, in the absence of a driver for a network card, you will not be able to configure an Internet connection, but it is incorrect installed driver graphics card means that you will not start any game.
Experts who often set up computers and laptops know about this problem firsthand. In this article, you will discover the most effective driver update applications. So, let's start setting up your computer.
Driver Pack Solution
Driver Pack Solution (driver pack solution) - one of best utilities to update drivers. The program is executed in the ISO image format. it virtual disk, which opens through a special program (for example, Daemon tools or Alcohol 120%). ISO image has a large volume (about 11 GB). But there is also a version that takes up much less space and needs the Internet to work.
An important feature of the application is that it can be used on computers where there is no internet connection. Many other driver update programs must go online to download from there required driver... And therein lies key advantage: you download the image only once and use it.
Open the downloaded file and the program will automatically scan your computer. Based on the scan results, a report of approximately the following sample is issued (in the screenshot below):
The user needs to check the boxes of the drivers to be installed and click the button to start the operation. Some users prefer to click " Update all". This operation takes no more than 10-15 minutes, after which the computer or laptop receives all the required drivers. In some cases, you have to search for rare drivers yourself, since they may not appear in the program database. However, this does not happen often - after all, the assembly is large enough.

Upon completion of the scan, DriverMax generates a recommendation report indicating the drivers to be updated. The report is very detailed and understandable.
Outcome
Some readers will object that it is better to download the drivers from the website of the manufacturer of this or that device. We can agree with this if the user knows the manufacturer, and the drivers for the device of your series are posted on the official website. It often happens that components (video card, network card, etc.) become obsolete, and the manufacturer ceases to support his product for the new operating system. Moreover, manual installation of ten or more drivers is not a pleasant task.
