Driver update utilities were in their heyday during XP thru W7...nowadays many driver utilities can download the wrong driver or out of date drivers. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
I used to use SDI a lot! I'm not really using it anymore since it can cause BSOD's and then I have to waste time troubleshooting the problematic driver! I only use Windows update and OEM's update tool to install drivers! I still use SDI sometimes when I'm offline, so I keep it up to date! When I do use it, I hover over each driver and verify that it's the correct driver by comparing the ID that SDI matched the driver to (it shows in light blue text), deselecting drivers that's not a good match for the hardware ID!
Never have I seen am amazing channel which covers each and every topic related to computers which might help others fix issues easily and make their experience better. Thanks mate ..
@@Britec09 i really am gratful for the easy to understand videos you make always being honest i get what you mean and ive had severol strokes a big thank you sir
I just used the Iobit anti-malware and it installs its another product their VPN on their own and there were so much garbage ads they want me to subscribe and buy so frustrating
Used a similar driver finder years ago while working on an old HP. Some of the updates made things worse. Thank God for restore point. Like you said, sometimes it makes things worse. Appreciate seeing this again. It’s been a while. Stay safe my mates!😊👍🏻😷
Cheers for this video…. I have a 12 year old Sony Vaio laptop, and a HP Desktop PC which have always pottered along after a fresh install of Windows 8.1. Watched this video and used the SDI tool! Both systems got updated and what a difference and they’re running sweet as a nut! Thanks for a great video.
Thank you!!! Instantly made my computer work better, before I couldn't adjust brightness or use the 144Hz option in Windows or Bluetooth, all of this fixed just like that. Amazing!
Howdy. Absolutely wonderful. I could not find the XP network card driver for my ASUS workstation. Snappy found one and bunch of updated drivers. The amount of time and effort to build this driver database !!! Now this is dedication alright. I can do but one thing to contribute. I will keep seeding the full packet download. Regards.
Yes.... these type of vidoes make us more n more userfriendly with computers and we r able to solve every kind of computer related problems easily. In a nutshell, ur vidoes made me approach towards the computer in a unique way. Thanks
thanks for that Snappy driver, didn't know that aplication, works great, I couln't get my card reader get to work in Windows 11, now it finaly solved the issue
Hey britec first I just want to say that I appreciate your videos and the time you put in to them for us pc guys. So the dilemma I currently face with my pc is that I bought in to Asus because it was a gorgeous looking board that supported my 10900k so I got it and it’s the Maximus 12 hero and the problem is that the drivers from the website are all compiled and Imbedded with all kinds of Asus junk that will end up running processes in the backround that aren’t necessary I’ve already came to terms eith the fact that I’m not controlling my rgb because I refuse to have armoury crate bloat in my pc it has about 10 backround processes but as far as drivers it’s been really tough to find drivers and I did try snappy driver but I just don’t know that I trust it last time I tried it my performance after was worse and also I don’t really know that I Tru fully need a lot of the ones for Intel like it was suggesting the pcie x16 drivers snd stuff that I just don’t want to download unless I know I truly need it
"If it ain't broke don't try to fix it" .... I've been telling people that for years about graphics drivers ..... If the new driver doesn't address a specific bug in a game you have then you probably don't need it. I only update graphics drivers when it fixes a specific bug in a game I'm playing, I buy a newly released game that needs "Game Ready" drivers or there is the rare security bug fix. The reason there are monthly updates is mainly to support new games and hardware and the problem that arises is if you have a game much older than one year then they don't test the drivers with that game and the new drivers can often break the game. I saw this in action in June and July when both Nvidia and AMD drivers broke AC Odyssey and the solution was rolling back the drivers. I was running the Nvidia security patch drivers from May and I never had any problems ... I've had 3 drivers version in the last year, July 2020 when I built the system, December 2020 Game Ready drivers for Cyberpunk 2077 and the May 2021 drivers which fixed several critical security issues which I'm still using and I don't plan on upgrading again until the Game Ready drivers for the Witcher 3 "Complete Edition" drops in the next couple of months
I wish I could get a proper driver for my 1080ti, SWTOR has had issues for years, didn't used to though. Performance gets worse with each update I swear, and the glitches never get fixed.
Your pc probably cost $500 to build lmao 🤣 that’s the difference between me and yo broke ass .. my pc cost 4000 and I can outrun anything you have on your pos pc
I have a 6 yrs old Lenovo desktop and have an auto update link there. Lenovo states that they are the manufacture of the motherboard - it is. I check for auto updates from time to time and it works fast and great
I’ve been using Iobit Driver Booster for years, never a problem with it and no bugs or BSOD’s. I’m running the Pro version of it and it’s pretty comprehensive.
After doing this process, i restarted my laptop, but it's showing me to choose an option: continue, use a device , troubleshoot, and turn off your pc . How to fix this issue? Thank you
You are assuming we know how to find what mother bored we have. It like I have a truck, and I know we need new breaks but how do I find out if I need breaks for a F-150 or a F-250? Its like the flight attendant saying "everything is fine but does anyone know how to fly a plane." Its like If I was teaching you custody and control and said first start with the reverse hand shake then stir the soup. I feel some very important details were left out.
Does Snappy have a place where you can click and it will just simply scan your computer for any outdated drivers that you may have in your PC and let you know? Because I've been getting notifications from my anti-virus people saying I have 12 outdated drivers and a place to click to resolve the issue but when I click on it I get carried to a page to purchase their software to resolve the problem? My PC seems to be working fine so I would think if I had that many outdated drivers I would be having some problems with my PC.
I downloaded Snappy and Malwarebytes kept flashing that the x64 exe had a outbound trojan and riskware, it also flashed periodically while I was doing the updates for my computer in the Snappy software, all of them were blocked (website blocked) by Malwarebytes, what does this mean? Is Snappy not safe?
Thanku my friend;I'm listening to Your saying;If it isn't broken/Don't fix it! The Application "Snappy Driver Installation Origin" is a great resource to have,And best of all,It's Free! Much Appreciated! Be Well/B Safe...✌
Guys be aware!!! I did this, and it give me blue screen sadly. 99% sure of it since i restarted pc it gave me blue srcreen, i had to have take it to local tech support. Could not even reinstall Windows since needed key. Tried to install windows USB version which formated my SSD. Very unfortunate and dumb situation wich no one should be in. He does give warning at end. I did want to do this because wanted to see if it would improve PC. Please be carefull.
I have an HP... am I fucked? I scan with cc cleaner and says my network version is out of date, but I try to look up version and im not getting it......
Do you know if the Intel management is necessary it’s something that I really want to know and can’t find the answer to the I’ve killed service / process that runs in the backround for the driver because I didn’t want it always running?
If I try installing the same ISO image I have installed on my Pc but on a Virtual machine and then try your (Windows-10-Disable-Services - Britec09 disable for my services.msc) and also try that Snappy Driver as it listed few newer Drivers (like chipset and Host Bridge Dram) on my machine with huge years in between as of 2006 to 2018 some improvement must be there, does running a virtual machine can help me avoid BSOD or the virtual machine won't detect my Hardware and driver versions ???? THanks for your content.
I don't update drivers unless it's a security issue, or a driver is causing a problem. If everything is running ok, I let it go. I do accept windows updates, of course and check Intel fairly regularly
One major difference between this and Iobit is that Snappy downloads the entire driver pack in order to update outdated drivers. Meaning it takes longer; but at least you're getting more information in Snappy.
Hope this video helps. Drop us a LIKE 👍
Thanks!

Yes of course ❤

Downloaded it but it only shows a "checking resume data (click here to select updates)". Am I doing anything wrong?
Should i install The driver packages aswell?
I need to know..in Device manager why not showing update..why showing already updated.
I am following the steps but that screen to choose download the indexes never pops up. Can anyone help me.

Not a fan of snappy driver. The only one I will use besides windows updates is the one from Intel.

There are two type Nick, try the portable one from Glenn.
It is free until you want to up date more than one driver at the same time. Money, money, money is they want.
