    Update Drivers using 3rd party software?


    I have just installed Driver Agent Plus and it shows 13 out of date drivers. Should I rely on Windows 10 to update necessary drivers or should I use a 3rd party program? If the latter is Driver Agent Plus a good choice.?
    My set-up is as I want it and I am a bit concerned new drivers will cause problems. I know for example that my old printer does not work properly with latest driver but is fine with older version.

    :)

    I messed up my drivers using a 3rd party program. Inputmapper/scpds3

    So I did all that, what's next?

    My controller still doesn't get recognized by InputMapper, but I don't know if you know how to help with that?

    There were no problems found during the scans

    Hi,

    At this point, the drivers may not function correctly while in a normal state. We suggest booting your computer in
    clean boot then update the drivers. Once done, boot the computer normally then run
    SFC and DISM.

    These steps will effectively "clean" the computer. If we come across an error code with SFC or DISM, we can start troubleshooting from there.

    Let us know if you need more help.

    Update Drivers using 3rd party software?

    I do not recommend these updater services. If you're happy with the performance of your PC as it is, I would leave it.

    I prefer to periodically go to the manufacturer's website manually to check for updates, then you're sure you're getting the right driver.
