  1. Portable driver updater


    Hi there.
    I am so sick off fixing driver problems and update them one by one using SlimDrivers (free).
    Can anyone recommend a portable driver updater that works with Win 7 and 10?
    I do not mind paying for it.
    Just want a software that scans for outdated/missing drivers, downloads them and updates them in one go... *Smile
    Does that even exits? *Eek

    :)

    new ovi suite beta out

    as for your driver have you tried

    If you go to the device manager and update driver for the Portable Device, say no to Windows Update, Select Install from a List, Don't Search, Remove tick for Show Compatible Hardware, Select Nokia, then Nokia Windows Portable Device Driver.

  3. My Lumia 830 is not seen by my Win 10

    Hi,

    Thanks for the update and response.

    Are you able to view the portable device in device manager?

    Are you able to see Lumia drivers under the portable devices in the device manager?

    I suggest you to try updating the portable devices in device manager and check if it helps. Also ensure all the pending updates are installed on your computer.

    Refer the below steps to update the driver.

    • Press “Windows + X” and select
      Device manager
      .
    • Select “Portable Devices” and expand the driver icon.
    • Right click on the driver icon and click on
      Update
      .
    • Follow the onscreen instructions to update the driver.
    • Restart the computer and check if the issue is resolved.
    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Windows 10 maintains all significant drivers required for normal use. Driver scanners cannot be recommended in general, and drivers later or older than Uncle MS thinks are good for you will be replaced unless you take special precautions.

    Only in exceptional cases are these useful- when you have a particular problem or missing driver. Drivermax has helped me with a couple in the last year.

    Don't routinely scan for driver updates with Win 10- it's a waste of time and effort if your system is running.

  5. It dosn't seem that DriverMax is portable?
    I do not want to install it, I want to run it as is from a USB stick... *Smile

    I only mentioned it in context- I'm not recommending a portable one as I've not used one, and I couldn't recommend the use of one routinely; sorry.

  7. I would recommend Driver Pack Solution and Snappy Driver Installer. They are both free and portable. Just be careful to uncheck any unwanted softwares in DPS and you'll be fine. I've never had issues with either.

    But what is their relevance to Win 10 in general, when Windows maintains your drivers?

  9. @ dalchina: Windows 10 does an atrocious job of installing drivers. I've found that it oftentimes installs (and by force) really old drivers, or drivers that gives BSODs and other errors, or are otherwise simply incompatible/don't work. I much prefer to do these manually.
