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 gets WHQL certified drivers from Intel, AMD and Nvidia already. Generally for GPU drivers you may opt to manage your own for per-game stability more than source trust issues.
Windows is not equal to official drivers from the manufacturer of the part; I've got half a dozen Driver Updates from Windows Update that are a LOWER version than what is installed, Windows just never bothered to check if there were any newer driver versions.
I use SDIO for particularly difficult computers which have driver issues (non functional hardware) - it's the only seemingly reputable one that works well
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'm a satisfied user too. Driver Booster always shows you which driver versions it intends to update. I always check what it plans to update before doing so. And then Driver Booster creates a Restore Point before performing the update too. I would never use a driver updater tool that automatically updated drivers without prompting me first.
This shit happened to me too, i were fighting days to fix the issue. Blue screens on startup and i needed to talk with hp and it took two whole weeks. Driver updators = SCAM AND SHIT 🤬😡
If you happen to look up the what failed section on the BSOD it’s called hswultpep.sys which is the driver for the processor power line engine which is how I figured out what was going on.
If you don’t trust windows update, use the updater that your motherboard tries to install by default (for ASUS its armoury crate), it has an update utility that scans for your specific components, in my case it also included AI Suite 3 which has ez updater that actually checks and installs your specific drivers
To be fair, it can't handle every single graphics card driver update. It also doesn't seem to update ethernet cards or integrated Wi-Fi cards. Other than that, you're right. It can handle most drivers.
I used to have those ages ago, i always NUKED my windows install using them, and when i completely ignored them and never installed them i never had to reinstall windows anymore!

Had to learn that the hard way a couple of days ago... Normally I know better and I absolutely hate these tools but I had some drivers for my Lenovo ThinkPad P51 that just couldn't be installed... I tried everything but it didn't took them so I got one of these tools where I know it has almost no Spamware. It installed the driver yes, but some other additional ones that bricked my Windows 11... Had to reinstall the OS. But hey, at least I have now a fresh installation of windows 11 on my laptop and not this weird experimental one anymore, Windows now found all divers without problem on its own. So yeah, never use these Scam Tools.
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.
even thought windows update can update your drivers, also don't trust those either. trust the official driver producers(EX: AMD, Nvidia, Intel) there's a few other ones but that's the main 3, Windows update messes things up because it downloads the manufacturers drivers and software, not the official software, as if you have AMD, and update drivers using the windows update feature in settings, you will no longer be able to open your graphic settings up for the drivers, and will have to reinstall to fix it.
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
@@Talcyon64while I do like to leave it to windows windows tends to just install generic drivers on devices that need specific drivers or some times for some weird reason install drivers on my gpu even after using the tool to disable updates on it because they're buggy af, and if not it just fucks up old PCs if for some reason windows thinks it can use a newer version, I'd still use windows update and pray for the best if I don't know much and didn't research about the drivers of my hardware
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.
you right but no at the same time for me i HATE widowns update that DONT update to the last driver like nvidia they using the 536 driver if i remember because i just buy a laptop like 5 day ago brand new from MSI in canada computer and it look like widows have a driver from 2 years ago but anyway i got to directly nvidia to update my driver, and for other driver i use driver booster or my mother board mark app that is msi app MSI Center, i thick that Microsoft need to what ther driver liste and update them all now because i am tired of this i rely wish that i could just only use win update but no for me it impossible
Bad news: I kept getting blue screens (memory management followed by something about overloading the graphics card, can't remember the code) so my dad who works in IT for longer than I've been alive told me to update my driver so I did, and now I'm seeing this video. Good news: I'm trying to get my A+ cert and this will be good practice I did download it from Nvidia and made sure it wasn't a sponsored result, and after a few hours of use nothing's happened, but we'll see how much trouble I'm in tomorrow
Update: was scrolling through the other shorts and found one with a specific Nvidia driver installer so got up again. Booted PC just fine, the thing I installed hadn't actually finished installing but I just had it finish and even checked the license to be safe. Now I know to do a clean install as well 👍
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.
Which I was fortunately. All I had to do was boot into safe mode. I pressed the 4 key rather than F4 which was my bad. Silly me. I then went to the application to roll back my updates and now my laptop is back to normal. Lesson learned.

“Windows update can practically handle driver updates these days”
Installs latest graphics driver
Windows: “install driver from 01/01/1960????”
That's probably a bug in my opinion. I think it just has a problem with reading the time and date, so it just resets to that time
Windows is not equal to official drivers from the manufacturer of the part; I've got half a dozen Driver Updates from Windows Update that are a LOWER version than what is installed, Windows just never bothered to check if there were any newer driver versions.
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.
