I've been made aware by several comments that I used the wrong link. Apparently there's a difference between snappy driver installer and snappy driver installer origin. I used origin in the video but left a link for the earlier. I've updated the link in the description to the right one. Here it is again. www.snappy-driver-installer.org/
Since Windows 10 to Windows 11 ...I have always using IOBit Driver Booster. ........of course the sounds SUCKS with Windows ..so I had to SEARCH and FOUND the ASUS Realtek audio Control 2021.....I made a copy to the Cloud to keep ...I can NOT understand why Windows get LOW sound after a Clean Installment ......so ......ASUS realtek audio Control 2021 is All Good.
Are you kidding me? I've already installed the other one. So now what? Who knows what it did to my system. Luckily I didn't install any drivers but I did install the program. Doing a fresh install of windows immediately. Thanks for the video but ouch.
Attention!!! Make sure you install Snappy Driver Installer Origin and not Snappy Driver Installer or else you will download an adware malware version instead!! I will repeat, make sure you install Snappy Driver Installer ORIGIN
@@kiz__ And I'm glad I checked the latest comment and saw yours. Now I'm skeptical about the origin one, if you have experience or tried it, Is it worth it?
@@farouqstray1411 yes, the origin one is legit and has been a thing for a long time. It definitely works well I just used it to update all of my drivers and it’s definitely very easy and decently quick depending on your wifi speed. I definitely recommend it. The only “bad” thing is the ui looks bad but that isn’t really an issue because you only have to update your drivers every couple of months or so or if you get new hardware/components.
Best to do a web search for "Glenn Delahoy" (SDIO's creator). First link result should take you to his own website where you can download SDIO without any concerns.
At 10:52 , best advice.for any driver operation. Experience shows that making only single driver updates-- after creating a restore point-- is easiest for troubleshooting and recovery.
Sometimes manufacturers do not provide drivers for their laptops. Then its a humongous task to write down the device id and search for them in the internet. Sometimes few drivers fail and again we need to search for another one. Thats why on the first installation we need to store all the working drivers in a folder named Drivers and subfolders indicating various hardware drivers. I am able to restore my old Pentium D laptop from 2009 and saved all its xp drivers. It doesnt take much space if you extract the exact files (inf, dll, cat, sys files) from the executable setup. Make a single rar archive out of the whole folder and keep atleast 2 backups.
I purchased an HP Elitedesk to build a budget gaming PC, and your vid was a big help with regards to drivers. I'm able to play Fallout 4 and a few other games with a really good frame rate. Thank you.
Oh no, you bought an office computer to use as a gaming computer? You know that the motherboards and cpu chipsets are specifically designed differently to better handle running games, lowering latency, etc right? And that your limiting your future upgrades to your computer in any attempt to make it run more games or run games better by using an office work style motherboard and cpu chipset, not to mention the graphics and frame rates really arent that good compared to even a mid teir gaming pc?
Just as an example you could spend around $500 and build a computer with a gaming mother board, nice 6 core cpu, nice mid teir gpu, pretty decent ram, a 600watt power supply and a case which would literally preform 5 times better for the same price as an office setup. Could even do the same at $350-400 by cutting gpu costs or buying all your parts used and end up getting a $1400 pc for $500 because of market price drops and new device propaganda(3-5 year old hardware is not out of date)
I have been struggling with this HP 510 notebook that has been retired by HP and as far as I can see, Intel as well. Within 5 minutes it has found my chipset divers and installing them. Thank you!
"ATi driver" I know what you meant AMD Radeon now. Sometimes these apps wont too downgrade your drivers sometimes they get lost in the driver versions I've seen that happen coupe of times. Also I found really nice to run these sort off apps on older hardware on modern OS. They will find lots of nice newer drivers for your motherboard devices & even CPU. I use Driver Booster Pro I have tried other similar tools but now I'll give this tool a spin!
I am a SDI user as well yes, it is very easy to use, i even managed to install my ASUS UL-30JT drivers and my DELL N4050 drivers, which the driver's website can be frustrating sometimes. Support for my both laptops end officially in windows 7, which i installed windows 10 lite to bring back both my laptops to life, now i understand why it takes 30++GB on my flash drives, it even contains some drivers for older laptops/PC. It's easy to use, it covers almost all brands of laptops and PC, and most important, ITS FREE OPEN SOURCE PROJECT! Man, even for me, this is too much to ask for! Slow updates? No problem! Taking too much space? Now i can buy a 128GB SSD and some enclosure to fit my SDI there! Even better is when it's torrent-based download, means it had little chance a file became corrupt, since incomplete downloads always checked before resuming download (if power loss happened to your PC, or if your laptops battery goes bad it even hold no charge) However, there's some issues adressed in the video, some drivers are too 'updated' for some PC to recognised, for me, if that happened, for critical drivers (SATA Driver, chipset, and controller driver) i've always let windows decide to install their driver, or to compare them in SDI (yes you can, if you hover on to items you want to download, you can compare drivers that have installed on your computer, and driver in SDI database) For a thumbdrive issue with slow download, i always download them on my PC, and move them to a thumbdrive later, in that way, my thumb drive can rest easier by not having it plugged to my PC and probably causing heat problems to my thumb drive, also i always had a backup when my thumbdrive died (which happen most often because heat issues, and no, i am not EVER buying sketchy thumbdrive) For a issue with sata drive, actually that's new for me, thanks for the tips!
@@CyberCPU it's been a year since your comment, but i've excessively use SDI for daily use for my repair driver that won't work on normal installation via official website And yes, SanDisk make decent USB thumb drive, but the asking price was too much here in Indonesia, so i stick with Lexar for my thumb drive, and SDI on the TEAM L7 120GB SSD (That no longer can be installed for OS, so i've bought an enclosure) with other collection of many OS libraries, before i move it to my thumb drive. one time i've been fooled by offline store for buying 128GB SanDisk Flash Drive that i discovered it after buying, was 'refurbished' by some random guy (The capacity is real, but the transfer speed is astonishingly SLOW, they change the controller to cheap ones to press the budget) AS for the SDI, since i have a cheapest Ryzen 5 6600H Laptop that made by Local manufacturer (it's 'ADVAN' WorkPlus), i have smoothly installed MOST of the drivers that the manufacturer didn't have any on their websites (they only sell laptops without making a support page, even the drivers download is not available at the time i typed this) with SDI, the issues had never appear on this modern laptop, but when i came back to my N4050, the problem still exist I believe the issues is within the hardware itself at this point, where the hardware cannot receive 'updated' drivers you've mention earlier in videos, even if its for the same model and hardware IDs, but other than that, i've been satisfied with SDI! No BS, Open Source, and straight to the point
🔥🔥I just found this app today and ill agree i wish i found this back years ago. It was so easy to use and the fact that its free, i'm grateful for that. Thanks SDI you guys rock!!!🔥🔥
Utterly fkn hopeless, just like all the rest of them. A couple of results for a specific MIDI controller actually returned over 5000 "Sony Ericsson mobile phone" drivers and on clicking on download details, it all came up in Japanese. Great help man. Great help.
I really appreciate the info provided by this video. I had recently built a new PC and even after downloading and installing all the drivers listed on the manufacturers website's, I was still missing a few mainboard drivers. But SDIO was the rescue I was looking for. I will definitely be using this from now on.
@@Bewefau Forgive me that I don't understand the meaning of your comment. But you don't get a driver disc with your hardware anymore. And the sites you have to download the software and drivers from don't tell you what order that you need to install. So, can you elaborate please?
@@Sandmansa I think they meant that it sounded like you installed optional drivers such as audio, networking, touchpad PRIOR to installing your chipset drivers, hence the word "mainboard" which you used. You have to to install chipset first, then SIO (EC chip), then drivers for devices such as touchpad, card reader etc. I usually leave audio and networking unless the generic drivers cause me problems.
@@nutsaboutsquirrels553 Okay, that does make sense. I had to install everything from a USB drive manually because windows install did not detect the network card. In that case, I was guilty of installing video card software and drivers before chipset drivers.
@@Sandmansayou should never have to do that unless its a monitor driver or bios driver… you can just download drivers from the manufacturers website and open the file and run the application file or .exe for all your drivers. You should never have had to put it on a usb, and second always make sure to download whats important first (example: CPU drivers, Lan drivers, GPU drivers from specific gpu manufacturers website not the motherboard website, Chipset drivers, or anything on the motherboards support page before installing any other random drivers like audio and stuff like that because whats important is what makes the computer run, not the audio driver… so get the important stuff done first, you shouldn’t need to be given instructions on this stuff it should never common sense that things like cpu chipset , and gpu drivers get installed first they are literally what make you see what your seeing on your screen, if they dont have drivers they wont work properly, this is what the other guy meant about installing them in an incorrect order. There is no real order to how it should be done but just common sense on how it should be done
I use SDI extensively. And for some reason it's able to find updates not available on the official sites(eg: NVIDIA Geforce 1650 drivers, where i'm using a July driver, whereas the one on the OS was released in June) Edit: And I also faced the same issue where SDI found a incompatible driver and marked as compatible(RADEON HD6450), thankfully, i managed to roll it back.
I have been using Driver booster to update my daily drivers from a pretty long time. Its pretty "okay" for me, Yeah it tries its best to install other softwares before it can get driver booster to get installed. Yeah i gave SDI a try. Pretty simple interface and straight to the point. I will consider using this software from now on. Thanks!
OMG it actually works. Just be sure to create a restore point just in case but it found the driver for the Modem my dad gave me so I can test out the Dialer app in windows. Thank you so much for this video as I spen hours trying to find a driver that didnt look sus
“I would appreciate it if there was a section on how to install drivers via the command prompt using silent installation, and how to prepare such an installer.”
As a pro tech I've been using this for over 6yrs with only a few very obscure drivers not found, I prefer & mostly use the snappy driver origin version.
It's better to use Smart Driver Updater or Driver Easy, as they prirotise downloading drivers from the PC manufacturer, over the generic ones from the hardware manufacturer.
Careful when using it on older laptops especially Dells and HPs that need a keyboard driver for shortcut keys. It's not the end of the world but if you don't have an external mouse at hand, and your touchpad and keyboard doesn't work in Windows you'll have a rough time
having this exact problem.. including seemingly unfixable resolution issue (huge pictograms etc) and unable to turn my brightness down (both the designated keys swel as via the control panel).. all after an update
Well, I'm using it right now and I can't say I'm happy with it. First of all - it starts up in Czech or Polish I believe. There is a popup window that asks something of you. And if you click the button - well, it's going to stat downloading a HUGE 40GB DATABASE! The button to change to another language is right there, but you can't click on it. Not until you agree to whatever the program is asking of you. Then, it's not very well presented and clear of what is going on in the background. You are presented with some devices icons and you can click on them. But it doesn't give you ALL of your devices if you want to know your current condition. Then you click download and you get another pop up window that is not immediately obvious where you have to make a selection to only download some of the drivers and not all the different variants. Then things are happening in the background, and then - nothing. Was the installation successful??? I DON'T KNOW!!!!
I never do ALL the drivers that programs like this and Driver Booster comes up with. I only use those for the issues I have - doing all of the drivers is asking for trouble.
I appreciate the video... but isn't this program only as good as the database that it uses to keep drivers current? What if the author gets lazy or doesn't have the time to keep the database accurate?
Hello! I've had a couple of issues too, but they where very specific ones: - The "FiiO K3" device driver offered through this tool (SDIO). In this case, I had to revert to the original driver from FiiO (4.47.0 version, "release" build), 'cause the one which is installed by SDIO (a newest one) doesn't work at all. - A Crucial NVMe SSD, not sure about the model, and the problem could arise from something else... I did install the driver first with SDIO (in a fresh W10 install), then, a couple months later, my client told me that her PC was crashing constantly, showing BSODs, etc. I looked up into the Windows Event Viewer to figure out what was causing the problem: A lot of error reports saying that the NVMe drive had a corrupt sector (something that freaked me out a little, considering that it was relatively new, just a few months of regular use). I tried checking the drive's S.M.A.R.T. attributes with CrystalDiskInfo -HDDScan didn't give me any information-, but didn't find anything unusual (no bad attributes at all). So, I went to the manufacturer's website, downloaded and installed "Crucial Storage Executive" to verify and make sure if it really was something wrong with the drive (missing firmware, S.M.A.R.T. health, etc.) and 'voilà!': There was a specific driver update for the NVMe. I installed it, checked the health attributes... the drive was as healthy as the first day it started working with Windows 10. So, to make sure that nothing bad could repeat again, I decided to backup all her info, did a Secure Erase to the NVMe (using the UEFI BIOS utility) and reinstalled Windows 10 with the corresponding driver from Crucial Storage Executive. As far as now, the problem hasn't repeated again, so, the only "responsible" I can point out at the moment is SDIO, but it could have been a Windows Update issue too, something like an incomplete update, a driver update maybe, not sure. As I said, very specific problems. Besides from that, it is a great tool to keep drivers up to date and recommended for its ease of use.
Interesting tool! I have a question though, how accurate are the proposed updated drivers? Are there percentages of those? How sure can I be when my System is proposed a new network driver, it is an update for a generic version, and not for my specifc model? I love how there is a system restore point, definitely useful! Also like how in depth the comparison between the existing and proposed driver goes. For my network card (a realtek RTL 8168) i could see the PCI deviceID matching, which gave me the confidence to go ahead.
1) Snappy Driver sometimes shows drivers with a more recent date but a lower version number. How is this to be understood? In such a case, should the more recent date or the higher version number be preferred? 2) Which is the correct startup file for Windows 11 64-bit? Of the files with "x64" in the name there are SDI_x64_R2201.exe SDI_x64_R2309.exe SDIO_x64_R749.exe SDIO_x64_R756.exe Maybe I overlooked something in your video.
The first video I watched from you pointed me to this. I'm happy I followed your advice. I liked and agreed with your points on 5 things to avoid/be aware of and am happy to L/s. Thank you.
The only time I've have to install "any driver" is when had to buy a new 360 dongle for my controllers.. not a official one (like previously had) so comes up as "unknown" then gotta select a driver from "browser my computer" bs....which is kinda annoying, but least windows still has the drivers built-in and this solution works for alot of items still... but these programs can be quite handy
I am sorry mate, can you think of a another way to update people about the correct URL? Because not all people read the description. I just wateched your video and downloaded the tool you showed in the video. Installed it and it started installing the drivers automatically. I noticed that other than the drivers some new applications were installed. Namely "Chrone Browser", "Internet-Start". I got curious and searched for them. It seems those are Malware programs. The tool that you show in the video is a "Snappy Driver Installer" but with some tampering. Thank god that I saw that and searched for it. But many people wouldn't and they would fall in to these Malwares... Therefore I do not know how these youtube studio works but if you could edit the video please do. Or atlest please change the thumbnail to read the description or something.. 🙏
I have used this before it is good. I suggest getting it when the dialog box pops up click on the button to the far right and then go in and change the language, you can work from there or exit and the dialog box will come up again the when you restart the program, I suggest the 3rd option, so you do not fill your storage space up with drivers you do not need. The default language is not English.
4:24 _"I personally prefer the later..."_ Hey kids, it's pedantic comment time! ;-] This is the 2nd time in as many vids that I've heard you say "later" when you meant "latter"... I thought it was just a simple script typo, at first, but now I'm thinking you may not know the difference. So, just in case, here is a brief description. *Later* : [Lay-ter] refers to a time past the time it is now, or in this context, the more recent iteration in a developing series. Ex: "The later models had the option of an automatic transmission, and power-steering." NOTE: This is not the right word for what you meant. *Latter* : [Lat-ter] In this context, refers to the second option in a series of two. Mostly used to avoid redundant repetition of the option details. Ex: "I prefer the latter, because the other proposed option is less efficient." NOTE: This is the one that applies to your choice of the least cumbersome installation of the program. Don't worry about it, we all have our idiosyncrasies when it comes to languages. Indeed, you'd be surprised how many English teachers put an S at the end of "anyway" just because their grandma used to say it that way! Apologies if I misheard, but I feel better knowing that the algorithm has been fed, regardless of whether I was justified in bringing this up or not. ;-] Cheers! PS: Next time we might need to address your use of _"wreck havoc"_ [11:00] when you actually mean, "wreak havoc". ;-]
like you stated Rich,a modern computer works straight out of the box,where are the days of IRQ and DMA,this drove me mad sometimes but learning and knowing about these things made me a bit of a computer nerd😁and watching your vids even makes me learn even more,great stuff,cheers mate
Whilst this is a nice tool, it is by no means intuitive to use. Even when sticking to this PC only, the download size for what are just driver updates can be enormous, which should not be the case. And when trying to update just a single driver to test the feature out, it still wanted to download 11Gb of data. There is a fundamental issue with the design of the interface that does have the head scratching. It is free though, so can't be churlish. But 11Gb of download for a graphics driver just sets alarm bells ringing too much for me to consider it right now.
I took a wifi adapter from a older samsung TV an used it on my pc I had to use a driver from another wifi adapter to make it work everytime windows updated it would mess up the driver and I'd have to relearn how to install that driver again I can never remember how to do it
I had that issue a while back with an older ATI video card. I did a whole video on how to block certain driver updates because of that stupid video card.
Great video! Question, how do you force Windows to only use an older driver? I have an eprom burner that won't work with the newer driver. Thanks for sharing

Hi, I stumbled across your video searching for help in getting my old Dell 17inch Inspiron 5759 Windows 10 pro trying to fix without spending $$$. I've search and read too many articles for repair but failed. I keep getting the" Drivers Power State Failure with Blue Screen" and "Problem with Wireless Adapter or Access Point".

I used Driver booster for my dad laptop in audit mode (yes, it has some craps included but I unnistalled it when I done the work) and now the laptop is ok.
@@CyberCPU ok cool so if i put it on a USB stick and then run it and let it update everything i should be good to go with whatever PC i might run across.
Okay, I'll go with Rich's other advice, of, IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT. I just tried to download this, and while the program went with no issues, as soon as it went to the torrent for the drivers, my Malwarebytes program went CRAZY. I had to kill the driver program to stop Malwarebytes from going ballistic on me. And while Rich says that Windows Defender is good, it has let some things slip through, that Malwarebytes has caught. I purchase Malwarebytes all the time, and recommend it to anybody who's computer that I work on.
I am trying to flash the bios on an adaptec sas raid controller. But every time I run the flash utility I get a message saying that the utility is not compatible with the OS I am running. My most recent attempt has been with the Hiren bootCD. I think I might try using ventoy to create a multi boot drvie and stick a DOS iso on it.
How can this be trusted ? I ran this and it told me there is a newer AMD SMBus driver, but I have the latest chipset drivers for my X570 system from the AMD website, so how can there be a newer version ?
I used SDI to update my SSD driver and got stuck in the inaccessible boot device issue. Safe mode gave the same error. I was able to recover the computer because DISM can remove drivers. Once I removed the SSD driver, the computer booted again.
I should also note my computer is running windows 10. I did have SDI create a recovery point but that apparently failed because the recovery console could not find it. So you have to manual create it before running the tool on Windows 10.

The PC name is Onda Oliver please is there any other way I can get to install the drivers for the sound ?
A word of warning. Snappy Driver is good, but it is not infallible. I have used it on numerous systems without issue, so became complacent about restore points, but when using it on a very hefty Dell Studio 1737 laptop, it made such a mess of the drivers, including wiping out the trackpad, I ended up doing a clean reinstall of 'Doze. Just a bit of advice from someone who should have known better in the first place :)
Yeh, not so easy! Used this to update drivers on my desktop and after a restart it would only loop through POST until it automatically offered a repair. Luckly a system restored returned normal operation but this experience has done nothing to relieve my anxiety with updating chipset drivers!
While the program is excellent, I would strongly advise you to install all available drivers from the manufacturers of your components or to let Windows Update do so. Once that is done, you can use the SDIO to check for outdated drivers and update them, but not before creating a restore point so you can undo any changes you make. Ive Recently used this to my old AMD A8 Series with Atlas OS on windows 10 and it works Great! Old pc running on a Lightweight Up to date windows 10 with Atlas OS and Up to date drivers! It cant get better than this for an Ancient Rig. Felt new and OS super responsive running for as low as 800mb of RAM. -Note: Try to obtain the most recent and compatible GPU/video drivers from the manufacturers.
It didn't work for me. I have a computer with Windows Server 2016, and there are no drivers for it at all. I searched all the sites and all programs, even sdi .. did work
Is there a way to install drivers to Windows from Boot USB without running an executable? My system won't boot to Win10 from installed HD or Win10 USB as I have a Driver PNP Watchdog error. *Hiren won't boot either, but Ubuntu Try does. Sounds very much like a driver issue.
You can run windows on many apple devices installing just the way you do on pc. problem is, snappy doesn't like these computers. it gave me all kinds of problems. i don't even know what all it screwed up. i'm going to have to reinstall windows now. you absolutely must do a backup first.

DO NOT DO THIS !! i downloaded it it gave me a blue screen of death and now my laptop will not turn on i have a light on but blank screen nothing and i mean nothing comes on my screen been trying to search how to fix it but nothing works
So, I used Snappy Driver Origin on my PC with Windows 10. And it restarted to this troubleshooting page with lots of different options to try and fix your problems. Unfortunately my Problem was you needed your Microsoft password for everything but a clean reinstall with an external drive with Windows on it. And I'd forgotten mine. It took me a few hours of trying all the different options and contacting Microsoft support (they were not much help) until finally I remembered an old password I used before my current one and it worked. But man! Was that a rough few hours. Thought I had to do a clean install and wipe everything for a while there. 😟
Use the correct download link. The one to use is mentioned in the comment section. And download the full install just to be safe. No malware for 6 years and counting after I switched to the correct snappy install 👍 Good luck!🙂
It's likely a false detection because the program uses a BitTorrent engine to download the driver files and many antiviruses classify BitTorrent software as malicious.
Hi broo I have old hp notebook ay-513tx laptop. I was playing league of legends some times ago very smooth but suddenly my laptop slowed down. Now game is shuttering, lagging etc. I upgraded windows 10 but it's change nothing but I noticed windows 7 is quite smooth but I can't find drivers for that.
It appears that the snappy driver installer is not working anymore or at least the website will not let you download the portable version. I couldn't get it to work anyway. I'm trying to set up Microsoft server 2019 essentials on a new PC but I'm having trouble finding drivers.

At 10:52 , best advice.for any driver operation. Experience shows that making only single driver updates-- after creating a restore point-- is easiest for troubleshooting and recovery.
Sometimes manufacturers do not provide drivers for their laptops. Then its a humongous task to write down the device id and search for them in the internet. Sometimes few drivers fail and again we need to search for another one.
Thats why on the first installation we need to store all the working drivers in a folder named Drivers and subfolders indicating various hardware drivers.
I am able to restore my old Pentium D laptop from 2009 and saved all its xp drivers. It doesnt take much space if you extract the exact files (inf, dll, cat, sys files) from the executable setup. Make a single rar archive out of the whole folder and keep atleast 2 backups.

And that your limiting your future upgrades to your computer in any attempt to make it run more games or run games better by using an office work style motherboard and cpu chipset, not to mention the graphics and frame rates really arent that good compared to even a mid teir gaming pc?
Just as an example you could spend around $500 and build a computer with a gaming mother board, nice 6 core cpu, nice mid teir gpu, pretty decent ram, a 600watt power supply and a case which would literally preform 5 times better for the same price as an office setup. Could even do the same at $350-400 by cutting gpu costs or buying all your parts used and end up getting a $1400 pc for $500 because of market price drops and new device propaganda(3-5 year old hardware is not out of date)
I've been looking for this program forever.. Thanks!
Glad it helped.
I have been struggling with this HP 510 notebook that has been retired by HP and as far as I can see, Intel as well. Within 5 minutes it has found my chipset divers and installing them. Thank you!
"ATi driver" I know what you meant AMD Radeon now. Sometimes these apps wont too downgrade your drivers sometimes they get lost in the driver versions I've seen that happen coupe of times. Also I found really nice to run these sort off apps on older hardware on modern OS. They will find lots of nice newer drivers for your motherboard devices & even CPU. I use Driver Booster Pro I have tried other similar tools but now I'll give this tool a spin!
I am a SDI user as well
yes, it is very easy to use, i even managed to install my ASUS UL-30JT drivers and my DELL N4050 drivers, which the driver's website can be frustrating sometimes. Support for my both laptops end officially in windows 7, which i installed windows 10 lite to bring back both my laptops to life, now i understand why it takes 30++GB on my flash drives, it even contains some drivers for older laptops/PC.
It's easy to use, it covers almost all brands of laptops and PC, and most important, ITS FREE OPEN SOURCE PROJECT! Man, even for me, this is too much to ask for! Slow updates? No problem! Taking too much space? Now i can buy a 128GB SSD and some enclosure to fit my SDI there! Even better is when it's torrent-based download, means it had little chance a file became corrupt, since incomplete downloads always checked before resuming download (if power loss happened to your PC, or if your laptops battery goes bad it even hold no charge)
However, there's some issues adressed in the video, some drivers are too 'updated' for some PC to recognised, for me, if that happened, for critical drivers (SATA Driver, chipset, and controller driver) i've always let windows decide to install their driver, or to compare them in SDI (yes you can, if you hover on to items you want to download, you can compare drivers that have installed on your computer, and driver in SDI database)
For a thumbdrive issue with slow download, i always download them on my PC, and move them to a thumbdrive later, in that way, my thumb drive can rest easier by not having it plugged to my PC and probably causing heat problems to my thumb drive, also i always had a backup when my thumbdrive died (which happen most often because heat issues, and no, i am not EVER buying sketchy thumbdrive)
For a issue with sata drive, actually that's new for me, thanks for the tips!
I can honestly say that I've never had a thumb drive die. I've always used SanDisk though. They make pretty decent stuff.
@@CyberCPU it's been a year since your comment, but i've excessively use SDI for daily use for my repair driver that won't work on normal installation via official website
And yes, SanDisk make decent USB thumb drive, but the asking price was too much here in Indonesia, so i stick with Lexar for my thumb drive, and SDI on the TEAM L7 120GB SSD (That no longer can be installed for OS, so i've bought an enclosure) with other collection of many OS libraries, before i move it to my thumb drive.
one time i've been fooled by offline store for buying 128GB SanDisk Flash Drive that i discovered it after buying, was 'refurbished' by some random guy (The capacity is real, but the transfer speed is astonishingly SLOW, they change the controller to cheap ones to press the budget)
AS for the SDI, since i have a cheapest Ryzen 5 6600H Laptop that made by Local manufacturer (it's 'ADVAN' WorkPlus), i have smoothly installed MOST of the drivers that the manufacturer didn't have any on their websites (they only sell laptops without making a support page, even the drivers download is not available at the time i typed this) with SDI, the issues had never appear on this modern laptop, but when i came back to my N4050, the problem still exist
I believe the issues is within the hardware itself at this point, where the hardware cannot receive 'updated' drivers you've mention earlier in videos, even if its for the same model and hardware IDs, but other than that, i've been satisfied with SDI! No BS, Open Source, and straight to the point
@@CyberCPUI have the Driver Updater program on mine, is that a scam one?
🔥🔥I just found this app today and ill agree i wish i found this back years ago. It was so easy to use and the fact that its free, i'm grateful for that. Thanks SDI you guys rock!!!🔥🔥
Utterly fkn hopeless, just like all the rest of them. A couple of results for a specific MIDI controller actually returned over 5000 "Sony Ericsson mobile phone" drivers and on clicking on download details, it all came up in Japanese. Great help man. Great help.
Worked flawlessly! Just subscribed from Canada on September 25,2024! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I really appreciate the info provided by this video. I had recently built a new PC and even after downloading and installing all the drivers listed on the manufacturers website's, I was still missing a few mainboard drivers. But SDIO was the rescue I was looking for. I will definitely be using this from now on.
Sounds like you didn't install the min the correct order.
@@Bewefau Forgive me that I don't understand the meaning of your comment. But you don't get a driver disc with your hardware anymore. And the sites you have to download the software and drivers from don't tell you what order that you need to install. So, can you elaborate please?
@@Sandmansa I think they meant that it sounded like you installed optional drivers such as audio, networking, touchpad PRIOR to installing your chipset drivers, hence the word "mainboard" which you used. You have to to install chipset first, then SIO (EC chip), then drivers for devices such as touchpad, card reader etc. I usually leave audio and networking unless the generic drivers cause me problems.
@@nutsaboutsquirrels553 Okay, that does make sense. I had to install everything from a USB drive manually because windows install did not detect the network card. In that case, I was guilty of installing video card software and drivers before chipset drivers.
@@Sandmansayou should never have to do that unless its a monitor driver or bios driver… you can just download drivers from the manufacturers website and open the file and run the application file or .exe for all your drivers. You should never have had to put it on a usb, and second always make sure to download whats important first (example: CPU drivers, Lan drivers, GPU drivers from specific gpu manufacturers website not the motherboard website, Chipset drivers, or anything on the motherboards support page before installing any other random drivers like audio and stuff like that because whats important is what makes the computer run, not the audio driver… so get the important stuff done first, you shouldn’t need to be given instructions on this stuff it should never common sense that things like cpu chipset , and gpu drivers get installed first they are literally what make you see what your seeing on your screen, if they dont have drivers they wont work properly, this is what the other guy meant about installing them in an incorrect order. There is no real order to how it should be done but just common sense on how it should be done
I use SDI extensively. And for some reason it's able to find updates not available on the official sites(eg: NVIDIA Geforce 1650 drivers, where i'm using a July driver, whereas the one on the OS was released in June)
Edit: And I also faced the same issue where SDI found a incompatible driver and marked as compatible(RADEON HD6450), thankfully, i managed to roll it back.
I'm sure it's not perfect but it has saved me a tremendous amount of time since I've been using it.
i just did it and it works- nice one - easy and free- what else you need...thank you so much and for the who pointed that one out- graet job
oh my, you have no idea how this just changed my entire brain right now... this is just soo satisfying. its just such a relief
I have been using Driver booster to update my daily drivers from a pretty long time. Its pretty "okay" for me, Yeah it tries its best to install other softwares before it can get driver booster to get installed.
Yeah i gave SDI a try. Pretty simple interface and straight to the point. I will consider using this software from now on. Thanks!
OMG it actually works. Just be sure to create a restore point just in case but it found the driver for the Modem my dad gave me so I can test out the Dialer app in windows. Thank you so much for this video as I spen hours trying to find a driver that didnt look sus
“I would appreciate it if there was a section on how to install drivers via the command prompt using silent installation, and how to prepare such an installer.”
You are the absolute best help on the internet. I have to remember to allways go to you first. You have helped me more than twice.
As a pro tech I've been using this for over 6yrs with only a few very obscure drivers not found, I prefer & mostly use the snappy driver origin version.
It's better to use Smart Driver Updater or Driver Easy, as they prirotise downloading drivers from the PC manufacturer, over the generic ones from the hardware manufacturer.
@@rogerm1111 What part of virus ridden crap don't you get, They are both crap!
Careful when using it on older laptops especially Dells and HPs that need a keyboard driver for shortcut keys. It's not the end of the world but if you don't have an external mouse at hand, and your touchpad and keyboard doesn't work in Windows you'll have a rough time
having this exact problem.. including seemingly unfixable resolution issue (huge pictograms etc) and unable to turn my brightness down (both the designated keys swel as via the control panel).. all after an update
Well, I'm using it right now and I can't say I'm happy with it. First of all - it starts up in Czech or Polish I believe. There is a popup window that asks something of you. And if you click the button - well, it's going to stat downloading a HUGE 40GB DATABASE! The button to change to another language is right there, but you can't click on it. Not until you agree to whatever the program is asking of you. Then, it's not very well presented and clear of what is going on in the background. You are presented with some devices icons and you can click on them. But it doesn't give you ALL of your devices if you want to know your current condition. Then you click download and you get another pop up window that is not immediately obvious where you have to make a selection to only download some of the drivers and not all the different variants. Then things are happening in the background, and then - nothing.
Was the installation successful???
I DON'T KNOW!!!!
Damn I could listen to you all day long! Thanks for all the tips
Dont need to hit on the guy
I knew about this program before. This is truly the best automatic driver update program👍
Damn. What a fresh sense of air, when everything else online is about ads, premium shit and all that. . This was just what i was looking for. Thanks!
I worked on 286 my first computer was tape driven. As in cassette tape. I remember and love it when computers first got a bios.
I never do ALL the drivers that programs like this and Driver Booster comes up with. I only use those for the issues I have - doing all of the drivers is asking for trouble.
i tried updating my USB TP-Link wireless wifi with snappy drivers and it stop working. I had to restore my PC to get it working again.
same here
I appreciate the video... but isn't this program only as good as the database that it uses to keep drivers current? What if the author gets lazy or doesn't have the time to keep the database accurate?
Hello!
I've had a couple of issues too, but they where very specific ones:
- The "FiiO K3" device driver offered through this tool (SDIO). In this case, I had to revert to the original driver from FiiO (4.47.0 version, "release" build), 'cause the one which is installed by SDIO (a newest one) doesn't work at all.
- A Crucial NVMe SSD, not sure about the model, and the problem could arise from something else... I did install the driver first with SDIO (in a fresh W10 install), then, a couple months later, my client told me that her PC was crashing constantly, showing BSODs, etc. I looked up into the Windows Event Viewer to figure out what was causing the problem: A lot of error reports saying that the NVMe drive had a corrupt sector (something that freaked me out a little, considering that it was relatively new, just a few months of regular use). I tried checking the drive's S.M.A.R.T. attributes with CrystalDiskInfo -HDDScan didn't give me any information-, but didn't find anything unusual (no bad attributes at all). So, I went to the manufacturer's website, downloaded and installed "Crucial Storage Executive" to verify and make sure if it really was something wrong with the drive (missing firmware, S.M.A.R.T. health, etc.) and 'voilà!': There was a specific driver update for the NVMe. I installed it, checked the health attributes... the drive was as healthy as the first day it started working with Windows 10. So, to make sure that nothing bad could repeat again, I decided to backup all her info, did a Secure Erase to the NVMe (using the UEFI BIOS utility) and reinstalled Windows 10 with the corresponding driver from Crucial Storage Executive. As far as now, the problem hasn't repeated again, so, the only "responsible" I can point out at the moment is SDIO, but it could have been a Windows Update issue too, something like an incomplete update, a driver update maybe, not sure.
As I said, very specific problems. Besides from that, it is a great tool to keep drivers up to date and recommended for its ease of use.
Yeah, the only problems that I've had are the very same problems that arise occasionally when updating drivers in general.
Interesting tool!
I have a question though, how accurate are the proposed updated drivers? Are there percentages of those? How sure can I be when my System is proposed a new network driver, it is an update for a generic version, and not for my specifc model?
I love how there is a system restore point, definitely useful!
Also like how in depth the comparison between the existing and proposed driver goes. For my network card (a realtek RTL 8168) i could see the PCI deviceID matching, which gave me the confidence to go ahead.
1) Snappy Driver sometimes shows drivers with a more recent date but a lower version number.
How is this to be understood?
In such a case, should the more recent date or the higher version number be preferred?
2) Which is the correct startup file for Windows 11 64-bit?
Of the files with "x64" in the name there are
SDI_x64_R2201.exe
SDI_x64_R2309.exe
SDIO_x64_R749.exe
SDIO_x64_R756.exe
Maybe I overlooked something in your video.
I just downloaded it and only have SDIO_R757.exe and SDIO_x64_R757.exe to choose from. Looks like you've extracted several different versions?
The first video I watched from you pointed me to this. I'm happy I followed your advice. I liked and agreed with your points on 5 things to avoid/be aware of and am happy to L/s. Thank you.
thank you. It was such a pain to find them all manually. this helps out a ton!
The only time I've have to install "any driver" is when had to buy a new 360 dongle for my controllers.. not a official one (like previously had) so comes up as "unknown" then gotta select a driver from "browser my computer" bs....which is kinda annoying, but least windows still has the drivers built-in and this solution works for alot of items still... but these programs can be quite handy
“Nvidia or ATI” Love it! ❤ I thought I was the only one who still made that slip of the tongue!
I am sorry mate, can you think of a another way to update people about the correct URL? Because not all people read the description.
I just wateched your video and downloaded the tool you showed in the video. Installed it and it started installing the drivers automatically. I noticed that other than the drivers some new applications were installed. Namely "Chrone Browser", "Internet-Start". I got curious and searched for them. It seems those are Malware programs. The tool that you show in the video is a "Snappy Driver Installer" but with some tampering.
Thank god that I saw that and searched for it. But many people wouldn't and they would fall in to these Malwares... Therefore I do not know how these youtube studio works but if you could edit the video please do. Or atlest please change the thumbnail to read the description or something.. 🙏
I have used this before it is good. I suggest getting it when the dialog box pops up click on the button to the far right and then go in and change the language, you can work from there or exit and the dialog box will come up again the when you restart the program, I suggest the 3rd option, so you do not fill your storage space up with drivers you do not need. The default language is not English.
Thank you very much, very useful! Installed a WDF touchpad driver with gestures on my old touchpad 💪
Completely bricked my pc 😂. Spins, nothing happens, restarts, goes to bluescreen trouble shooter. Non-stop cycle. Spin, restart, bluescreen
Cool, however when it comes to drivers I prefer to manually install them one by one after making sure they are the latest and most approppriate
4:24 _"I personally prefer the later..."_
Hey kids, it's pedantic comment time! ;-]
This is the 2nd time in as many vids that I've heard you say "later" when you meant "latter"... I thought it was just a simple script typo, at first, but now I'm thinking you may not know the difference. So, just in case, here is a brief description.
*Later* : [Lay-ter] refers to a time past the time it is now, or in this context, the more recent iteration in a developing series. Ex: "The later models had the option of an automatic transmission, and power-steering." NOTE: This is not the right word for what you meant.
*Latter* : [Lat-ter] In this context, refers to the second option in a series of two. Mostly used to avoid redundant repetition of the option details. Ex: "I prefer the latter, because the other proposed option is less efficient." NOTE: This is the one that applies to your choice of the least cumbersome installation of the program.
Don't worry about it, we all have our idiosyncrasies when it comes to languages. Indeed, you'd be surprised how many English teachers put an S at the end of "anyway" just because their grandma used to say it that way!
Apologies if I misheard, but I feel better knowing that the algorithm has been fed, regardless of whether I was justified in bringing this up or not. ;-]
Cheers!
PS: Next time we might need to address your use of _"wreck havoc"_ [11:00] when you actually mean, "wreak havoc". ;-]
like you stated Rich,a modern computer works straight out of the box,where are the days of IRQ and DMA,this drove me mad sometimes
but learning and knowing about these things made me a bit of a computer nerd😁and watching your vids even makes me learn even more,great stuff,cheers mate
Glad it helped.
Whilst this is a nice tool, it is by no means intuitive to use. Even when sticking to this PC only, the download size for what are just driver updates can be enormous, which should not be the case. And when trying to update just a single driver to test the feature out, it still wanted to download 11Gb of data. There is a fundamental issue with the design of the interface that does have the head scratching. It is free though, so can't be churlish. But 11Gb of download for a graphics driver just sets alarm bells ringing too much for me to consider it right now.
2:52 I really like that hopper driving around in Utah BeamNG
I took a wifi adapter from a older samsung TV an used it on my pc I had to use a driver from another wifi adapter to make it work everytime windows updated it would mess up the driver and I'd have to relearn how to install that driver again I can never remember how to do it
I had that issue a while back with an older ATI video card. I did a whole video on how to block certain driver updates because of that stupid video card.
Great video! Question, how do you force Windows to only use an older driver? I have an eprom burner that won't work with the newer driver. Thanks for sharing
This is an old video but shows how to do exactly what you're trying to do.

Epic info and thanks for the vid. I always had issues with finding updated drivers for my intel nvme controllers
Sometimes it installs drivers that make conflicts appear, and also it didn't help me with a touchscreen driver for a maple branded windows tablet
I'm using it for years and I can say it is Good and easy to use..
the programm is struggling with a driver for my "Ressourcehub Proxydevice" this is its hardware id ACPI\VEN_MSFT&DEV_8000 its not finding a driver for thatan idea how i could get to that?
Hmmmm, I would like to give you a loooooong hug! Woof! :-). Thank you for sharing your wonderful reviews and thoughts!
Glad it was useful.
I extracted this and clicked on the batch file and something popped up in a foreign language I could not read.
I'm so upset! WTF? Why would you recommend malware?
love the shirts...really geeky....over the years friends and relatives have given me shirts with those "phrases" however i had one custom made which would fit your target customers......."& phone home"......look up the origin of "&".....if people understand it they usually dont really know.....i love seeing people with puzzled looks on their faces trying to figure it out...
SDI Origin is the one without crap. It is maintained by the original developer and is clean and free from malware.
Hi, I stumbled across your video searching for help in getting my old Dell 17inch Inspiron 5759 Windows 10 pro trying to fix without spending $$$. I've search and read too many articles for repair but failed. I keep getting the" Drivers Power State Failure with Blue Screen" and "Problem with Wireless Adapter or Access Point". After following your Video instructions and restart my computer, It's like a miracle. My Dell Laptop run like new again. Thank you. You just help a Senior Citizen and a US Army Veteran. I appreciate it.
I love your T-shirt BTW... 😎😍
Thanks, if you want one there's a link in the description for it.
I used Driver booster for my dad laptop in audit mode (yes, it has some craps included but I unnistalled it when I done the work) and now the laptop is ok.
how useful is this app when the computer you're working on has no internet connection?
If you download all the drivers to a USB drive from another system it works great.
@@CyberCPU ok cool so if i put it on a USB stick and then run it and let it update everything i should be good to go with whatever PC i might run across.
@@fragalot yes, however use a big USB drive. Mines a 64Gb and it's almost full with all the drivers download.
Good job man you fixed every problem i HAD NOW ITS TIME TO FLOOD RUclips with videos Thanx man
I wonder if it will automatically install both onboard GPU and Installed GPU with messing things up good.
Btw, SDI Origin and SDI are different programs.
Okay, I'll go with Rich's other advice, of, IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT. I just tried to download this, and while the program went with no issues, as soon as it went to the torrent for the drivers, my Malwarebytes program went CRAZY. I had to kill the driver program to stop Malwarebytes from going ballistic on me. And while Rich says that Windows Defender is good, it has let some things slip through, that Malwarebytes has caught. I purchase Malwarebytes all the time, and recommend it to anybody who's computer that I work on.
I am trying to flash the bios on an adaptec sas raid controller. But every time I run the flash utility I get a message saying that the utility is not compatible with the OS I am running. My most recent attempt has been with the Hiren bootCD. I think I might try using ventoy to create a multi boot drvie and stick a DOS iso on it.
How can this be trusted ? I ran this and it told me there is a newer AMD SMBus driver, but I have the latest chipset drivers for my X570 system from the AMD website, so how can there be a newer version ?
I used SDI to update my SSD driver and got stuck in the inaccessible boot device issue. Safe mode gave the same error. I was able to recover the computer because DISM can remove drivers. Once I removed the SSD driver, the computer booted again.
I should also note my computer is running windows 10. I did have SDI create a recovery point but that apparently failed because the recovery console could not find it. So you have to manual create it before running the tool on Windows 10.
i hope you are doing well and thanks for such a comprehensive video...i used this technique but i couldnt find the realtek hd audio manager even though realtek driver is running on my pc...what can i do to fix this..any help is appreciated..take love
There is this PC I install a fresh windows on and it's quiet a hassle installing the sound drivers, I tried all means and ways but still the sound is not working apparently on the device manager, the drivers is installed but still crossed on the taskbar.
The PC name is Onda Oliver please is there any other way I can get to install the drivers for the sound ?
Yeah, this did not help. I don't need drivers updated, I need to be able to install the old drivers I've got on a new system.
Snappy Divers are the Grandfathers of the Driver Finder world
A word of warning. Snappy Driver is good, but it is not infallible. I have used it on numerous systems without issue, so became complacent about restore points, but when using it on a very hefty Dell Studio 1737 laptop, it made such a mess of the drivers, including wiping out the trackpad, I ended up doing a clean reinstall of 'Doze. Just a bit of advice from someone who should have known better in the first place :)
There are better alternatives to SDI. But anyn driver update tool, will occasionally cause issues.
Yeh, not so easy!
Used this to update drivers on my desktop and after a restart it would only loop through POST until it automatically offered a repair. Luckly a system restored returned normal operation but this experience has done nothing to relieve my anxiety with updating chipset drivers!
How up to date is this program now snappy driver installer?
I updated to the newest version about a month or so ago. Not sure if anything has came out since then. I typically don't update it often.
@@CyberCPU Great, then I download three times 😂☺
Thanks for the tips.My motherboard driver DVD contain Norton and I don't want to be be bothered with Norton anymore.
Thank you, this was so useful.
While the program is excellent, I would strongly advise you to install all available drivers from the manufacturers of your components or to let Windows Update do so. Once that is done, you can use the SDIO to check for outdated drivers and update them, but not before creating a restore point so you can undo any changes you make. Ive Recently used this to my old AMD A8 Series with Atlas OS on windows 10 and it works Great! Old pc running on a Lightweight Up to date windows 10 with Atlas OS and Up to date drivers! It cant get better than this for an Ancient Rig. Felt new and OS super responsive running for as low as 800mb of RAM.
-Note: Try to obtain the most recent and compatible GPU/video drivers from the manufacturers.
It didn't work for me. I have a computer with Windows Server 2016, and there are no drivers for it at all. I searched all the sites and all programs, even sdi .. did work
Is there a way to install drivers to Windows from Boot USB without running an executable? My system won't boot to Win10 from installed HD or Win10 USB as I have a Driver PNP Watchdog error. *Hiren won't boot either, but Ubuntu Try does. Sounds very much like a driver issue.
"This week's sponsor, is me!" Pulling yourself up by the...boot straps...I love it.
You can run windows on many apple devices installing just the way you do on pc. problem is, snappy doesn't like these computers. it gave me all kinds of problems. i don't even know what all it screwed up. i'm going to have to reinstall windows now. you absolutely must do a backup first.
during download of drivers malwarebytes is detecting this as compromized
I used this app to update the driver of my DVD player because code 19 error, but it said this message:
Device requires a driver but it wasn't in Driverpacks!!
Tried deleting your upper and lower filters in the registry.
I tried many things, but I was afraid of approaching the registry, so I downloaded this open source app.
Living legend! You earned yourself a subscriber!
curious if this works if you have no drivers installed for a particular device.
I have had problems with Windows forcing the rollback of Intel drivers I've just updated using the Intel driver update utility.
Windows Update kicks in and installs the older driver.
DO NOT DO THIS !! i downloaded it it gave me a blue screen of death and now my laptop will not turn on i have a light on but blank screen nothing and i mean nothing comes on my screen been trying to search how to fix it but nothing works
I love the shirt, so true. 😁
So, I used Snappy Driver Origin on my PC with Windows 10. And it restarted to this troubleshooting page with lots of different options to try and fix your problems.
Unfortunately my Problem was you needed your Microsoft password for everything but a clean reinstall with an external drive with Windows on it. And I'd forgotten mine.
It took me a few hours of trying all the different options and contacting Microsoft support (they were not much help) until finally I remembered an old password I used before my current one and it worked. But man! Was that a rough few hours. Thought I had to do a clean install and wipe everything for a while there. 😟
Excellent video, very informative. Thanks
After I ran this under Windows XP it broke the OS, needed to roll it back to a backup
Why is snappy driver installer recommending optimal drivers from 1968? I have a z690 Intel. There is like five of them with the same year 1968
Use the correct download link. The one to use is mentioned in the comment section.
And download the full install just to be safe.
No malware for 6 years and counting after I switched to the correct snappy install 👍
Good luck!🙂
I just try to download the tool on my 2 laptop with 2 different antivirus it's say it was corrupt by a virus.
It's likely a false detection because the program uses a BitTorrent engine to download the driver files and many antiviruses classify BitTorrent software as malicious.
the problem The App Download is in Up torrent
and no one Download it
There are no peers to help me download
Hi broo I have old hp notebook ay-513tx laptop. I was playing league of legends some times ago very smooth but suddenly my laptop slowed down. Now game is shuttering, lagging etc. I upgraded windows 10 but it's change nothing but I noticed windows 7 is quite smooth but I can't find drivers for that.
It appears that the snappy driver installer is not working anymore or at least the website will not let you download the portable version. I couldn't get it to work anyway. I'm trying to set up Microsoft server 2019 essentials on a new PC but I'm having trouble finding drivers.
