@somebody700 I'm not talking about what he did in the video, Im talking about what the comment said, reinstalling windows. I would have gone into safe mode, fixed the driver, then removed all the malware, saving the user's data. It's not that hard to remove most malware. Saving user data is always a priority, taking the easy way out of just reformatting windows should be your last resort, not first thought. I did help desk right out of college, now I work in IAM, I have been taught from the beginning that user data should be reserved if possible.
The only ones you’d wanna trust are the official driver software that’s paired to your device’s processor/gpu. If it’s an intel processor use the intel software. If your gpu is nvidia brand chances are the software is preinstalled in your device
Windows updated and borked my external display and now because it updated twice I gotta do even more work. I'm actually so dumb for thinking the insider program wouldn't fuck up this bad
Why would windows mess with the display driver💀, unless it's updating wddm but that's packaged inside the gpu driver, windows fucking up shit for no reason

I downloaded the "Driver Updater" tool and It downloaded a driver for the mouse that caused my pc not knowing what the hell it should do with my mouse and I had to use my keyboard to manually delete the driver and restart my pc to redownload automatically the mouse driver.

They work. I tried one of the softwares and it works great. Not all are malware. But still, i would rather use driveridentifier than any of those crap anyways.
Dumbass me fell for this. I went and installed a drive updater today and while I was updating, one of the drives I updated caused the same thing to happen to my ASUS F15 laptop today, same power management software. I think I’m in luck. Never using this software again.

This is why you use system drivers update or drive update tool that works, like AVG Drivers Update Tool. On my laptop I use the AVG tool to get a driver for the camera, because the windows tool is not able to find a driver
I think the issue is that windows update doesn’t always provide the right drivers due to lack of care from the OEM, or The OEM has removed the drivers from their website cause they want you to buy new.

Been using iobit driver booster pro for years since XP, even on 11. Never has failed me.
One time a driver updater tool broke my keyboard and touchpad. I tried everything for 2 days until I figured out how to revert to the older driver.
same with my bluetooth adapter
Snappy driver installer origin anybody?
The only good driver updater that also isnt scareware

I was curious i had missing drivers on my laptop. With this video i won't use those driver tools. Thanks.
Driver Easy has worked for me, used on about 500 different computers
You installed malware on 500 computers?
I agree with the guy above me, that was stupid and you just put bloat on 500 computers. Let windows updates handle drivers

@@dantepaz5028 if you need drivers for specific hardware then going to the hardware distributors website is fine, driver easy should still be avoided
@@Talcyon64or the manufacturers tools. HP has a very nice driver updated and almost every other known brand
That's the exactly same problem I have
The only sources I trust are windows update and the driver update program of the chip, in my case Intel.
Reason why i don't install any of these
See the documentation of the PC for the specs.
Even windows install driver for my graphic card, it still lag in a kid game
Get better hardware, geez. Or just use linux, but that would only have a little effect if your hardware is incredibly horrendous.
And in my case a audio driver error

Oh my. Did you know the existence of Driveridentifier? Oh how easy it should've been.....
They work. I tried one of the softwares and it works great. Not all are malware.
But still, i would rather use driveridentifier than any of those crap anyways.
I have the exact same app in my pc,it seems to work fine and it actually updates my gpu 🤔
Is Intel driver & support assistant good? Because I've been using it since a long time
I just use intel DSA and the nvidia app for gpu drivers

Thermal paste shouldn't do that. Even if you got it in the socket or board it shouldn't.
It's possible it's some type of secure boot error I've had something similar with that.
You should be reinstalling windows every 6 months anyway
I’ve never actually seen windows update give a driver
I just go to the manufacturers website because those tools are worlds better than anything Microsoft, who is not the maker of your hardware, can provide

I use snappy driver installer.
Worth noting to not install GPU drivers with SDI or you might end up with frozen screen
Don’t
InstaIIing an outdated driver? That just sounds like Windows Update
Snappy driver installer is pretty good when you need to find old or obscure drivers
Nah, Driveridentifier is where it's at.
Never buy hp period lol even if it sounds like a good deal.
Why tho?

@soldier-gaming321 It's not malware lol I've used it without any problems leave stuff like this to the professionals.
Outbyte driver updater actually helped my Little brother tho
Snappy driver installer is the only one I trust
snappy driver install origin
Best driver installer is snappy driver installer imo
Avg Driver Updater should work or Snappy Driver
I think the issue is that windows update doesn’t always provide the right drivers due to lack of care from the OEM, or The OEM has removed the drivers from their website cause they want you to buy new.
