    Best free tool to identify outdated drivers - will download manually


    Which driver manager free trial does the best job of identifying all the out-of-date drivers in my Win 10 Pro 64 system? I'm OK with doing manual downloads and installs, but I need to to know which drivers to work on.

    I'm getting BSODs now every 2-3 days *Mad , and I've already run sfc and dism. My system is up to date with MS updates.

    So far I've tried three driver manager free trials, but comparing results, but I get very different numbers of outdated drivers, and some drivers are OK with one driver manager, but not with another. *Confused

    Someone in this forum recommended Snappy Driver Installer, which looks nice, but most of the driver downloads resulted in error messages, and nothing actually got installed.

  2. windows 10 mcpc drivers outdated

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you download latest drivers from Manufacturer's Website.

    Follow the steps to update the drivers:

    • Press Windows key + X key and click on
      Device Manager.
    • Expand respective driver. (The driver which was stated to be outdated.)
    • Right-click on the driver and
      select Uninstall.
    • Now, go to the Manufacturer's Website and download the latest driver.
    • Once the download is complete, run the setup file and install the software.
    • Follow on-screen instructions.
    • Restart the computer and check
    Hope this helps. Please respond if you have further related queries.

    Regards,

  3. Windows Update download and installs outdated driver

    • My AMD Radeon R5 M355 graphics driver is outdated a bit and I want it to get updated. I go the official webpage to download the display driver that is more updated compared to the one that was installed. I download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU)
      to remove the older graphics driver then running the uninstaller in safe mode then eventually go through the process of installing the new one successfully. However when I install the new one, Windows Update keeps downloading and installing a more outdated
      version of it. Why would windows do this? How could I stop it?


    • Old AMD Radeon R5 M355 (Windows Automatically installed)

    • More updated version of AMD Radeon R5 M355 (Installed Manually)

    • The one that windows update installed on its own doesn’t even function property. When I try to access the AMD Radeon Setting I get a pop up saying “No AMD graphics driver is installed or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the
      AMD driver appropriate for your AMD hardware.”

    • After manually downloading and installing the functioning driver again and going through the process of uninstalling the nonfunctional driver, I have been trying to avoid using windows update.

    Canon PowerShot Camera Driver will not download

    Hi,

    There are some security settings on your browser that might cause to a failed download. For us to identify the root cause of this issue, we would like to know these questions:

    • Which browser are you using to download the driver from Canon's support website?
    • Have you encountered any error messages?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you get the downloaded driver from your other laptop and save it to a USB flash drive. After that, plug in the USB flash drive to your laptop that's having an issue. Then, try to install the driver to your laptop.

    Let us know your response.
