Looking for windows app that manages my drivers and allows me to safely update them in 1 click

Looking for windows app that manages my drivers and allows me to safely update them in 1 click. Does this software exist?

[G+_Jody Fanning]

There is. It's called Windows Update.

[G+_John Costanzo]

It does not update all drivers. That to me is more software update.

[G+_John Costanzo]

Have you used any of these?

[G+_Jody Fanning]

Windows update should cover almost every normal driver these days.

 

My home-built system pretty much didn't need a single driver manually installed when I installed Windows 8. The only ones I actually installed myself (and much later) were the Intel driver for SATA and the NVidia driver. And both of those did come from MS, but I was screwing around with an SSD and was trying different options and nVidia updates theirs so often. But unless you have a real need to screw with things I would just leave them alone.

 

Just because you can play with those doesn't mean you should.

Jody FanningAgreed. In this case it really is true; if it's not broke, don't fix it. ?

 

I've seen nothing but problems come from the tools you are asking about. Those things get removed in my shop.

So I just did a fresh, install and did all my windows updates. When I check device manager there is stuff that the driver is not installed. Its around the USB 3 controller. So I do not think MS handles all drivers

John Costanzo you goto the manufacturer website for oddballs that aren't found. If pre-built, the OEM website (Dell, HP). If custom built, the mobo manufacturer website.
