Windows 10: I screwed up driver updates by alt f4ing while updating my eternet driver and now I can't...

So I screwed up my driver install and now I got no network I was experiencing slow network so I thought a update might help but I got it from my motherboards website a older version and installed that and when I realized it I alt f4 and now it says Windows is still setting up the class configuration for this device Code 56

Edit - I've been able to update the driver to the later version again but it said it failed I didn't touch it but now it's in its new driver so I'm incredibly confused.

Can't update to current ATi drivers

In my previous attemps to update drivers I went through the complete process you mentioned, but using driver sweeper...I don't really know if there is any difference between the two programs, but sweeper was recommended by the sticky post here on how to update drivres...so that is what I used when first trying to update.

Any how I just followed your pervious suggestion and down loaded and installed v8.10 over the old drivers. I also tried to updated directly from the device manager...but it kept telling me I have the most recent version, which in device mgr now says v8.54.....But after using CCC to search for the most current drivers which were the 8.10 that I installed, CCC is listing in the Info Ctr under graphic software, Driver package version 8.541 (which are digital signer by MS) and Catalyst Version 08.10.

So I'm guessing that even though the device mgr lists current drivers at 8.541, my drivers are infact updated to 8.10 in the CCC ?

Man this is making me dizzy.... *Twitch :twitch:

 

Driver update software

Windows Update should have a considerable amount of good drivers. They'll be listed under the "Optional Updates" section. That should give you rather good functionality right off the bat. If it's a branded PC, latest drivers will likely have to come from the manufacturer's website. For the most part, built-in drivers should be Good Enough™

I don't think I've run across an automagic driver installer that wasn't loaded with malware.

 

Update drivers or not?

I always update drivers from corresponding hardware site especially of chipset+GPU+Audio as soon as available (like yesterday nVIDIA GPU driver update ver 190.62 from 190.38). I also check for drivers update on Microsoft Update site. Nothing has gone bad ever for me due to drivers update. Always found new version more compatible + performance enhancement + bug fix + security enhancement.
I would recommend to update drivers + BIOS + OS updates as soon as they are released.
