    What drivers do you use for updates? From computer manufacturer or Windows update or?


    Had to do a clean install of Windows 10 due to blue screen issues, freezing, etc. Still having some freezing issues and from what I have read it is probably a driver issue. Where do you download the drivers? I was using windows update until last night I downloaded Intel 10.1.1.42 which caused a crash 30 seconds after every restart. Was finally able to find it and roll it back. I also installed Intel 10.1.14.4 which I think is also an issue but cannot find it - not sure what it controls.Desktop is an Acer TC-885-UA92. Windows 10, Pentium I5, 12G ram, SSHD.My 2 old Dell Insprions from 2011 Pent

    Do windows updates slow down the computer?

    Basically you might as well have the latest stable drivers on a Opticsl disk or usb drive and then updates thst dont bork the os, install updates, then dtivers and leave the system unplugged from ethernet/wifi then set parameters to prevent windows from updating automatically, save a list of settings you adjudted judt incase sn os update resets it to default etc.

    W10 sounds more like a pita than it's worth to install...

    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.

    NVIDIA Adds Windows 8 to GeForce Driver Update Stack

    AMD may have been the first to be out with drivers for its Radeon GPUs that are optimized for Windows 8 (WDDM 1.2), but NVIDIA went a step ahead of "special-releases" for its GeForce drivers, and added Windows 8 to its update stack, meaning that Windows 8 will feature in the list of operating systems to pick from, to download drivers. NVIDIA will constantly update these drivers along with mainline releases for Windows 7/Vista and XP. The latest such driver is 296.17. This driver supports GeForce and Quadro GPUs, and according to NVIDIA, is a quick-update over 295.73 WHQL, with the addition of performance optimization for Blacklight: Retribution.
