Windows 10: Need Help - Updating out-of-date Drivers

Hi Gang,


I apologize firstly as this is probably something on the basic side, but I am at loss and do not want to mess up my PC.


I downloaded a FREE Driver Update Program, however the free version only identifies out-of-date drivers, it does not update them. Alas, I have identified 15 drivers (mostly to do with AMD processor and Realtek), that need updating.


How do I get these drivers to current using Windows 10 functionality?


I'd really appreciate help here, and I thank you all in advance.

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.

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to
