Windows 10: How to show more details of driver versions/dates in device manager?

I recall that there used to be an option/switch/3rd party add-on that you could use to get Device Manager to show more details of driver versions in device manager when updating drivers and you had chosen to select from drivers already installed/available. *Huh

This used to show driver manufacturer, version numbers and their dates therefore making it a lot easier and more accurate when you're looking to install a specific version or manufacturer of a driver.

I have no doubt that many of you know what I'm talking about so if you could tell me (remind me) who we used to get more details shown then please refresh my brain. *Confused

Thanks all. *Biggrin

I Updated Chipset Drivers.. But Old Version Shows in Device Manager


I have an MSI mobo. I installed the latest chipset from MSI which was 10.1.1.45 released this year. But when i check the driver version in device manager it says I got 10.1.1.38 dated 2016. I then tried to install the driver directly from intel which is version, 10.1.17 dated 2018 this year. Again I get the same issue. Whats going on? Am I looking in the right place in device manager? See below:







Also, I have nvidia listed as my display in device manager. Should I install the intel display drivers from MSI or does Nvidia suffice?
