Windows 10: Keeping Windows 10 Drivers Updated

I have an Dell Alienware R15 R3, circa 2016, which I have just performed a clean install of W10 1903 on. Up until now, I had just put up with whatever came from the factory while it was still under warranty. It is a relief to have a clean machine now, but I was wondering what others do to keep a drivers up-to-date? The one nice thing - actually the only nice thing - about the Dell and Alienware branded "support assist" software was that they did notify me of driver updates (NVIDIA, Killer, etc.).

Is the best approach just to periodically visit the manufacturers websites and download updates, or use device manager to check for updates? Or is there some recommended free software that folks use that is not bloatware that can be configured to provide notifications of updates based on what I need to know about?

Thanks for reading.

Windows update keeps replacing ALPS Touchpad driver with a Synaptics driver.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

I suggest you to uninstall and delete the previous drivers and the latest drivers for the touchpad and install the required version of the driver from Device Manager by following the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X and select Device Manager from the list.
• Expand the Touch pad driver.
• Right click on the driver and click on update/install.
• Select the required version from the on-screen prompts.

And for the problem with the installation of printer drivers, I suggest you to run the Windows Update troubleshooter by following the steps below:

• Type “Troubleshooting” in search box and press Enter.
• Click on “View All” option on top left pane.
• Select “Windows Update” from the list and follow the prompts for troubleshooting.
