Windows 10: What is Fiery Driver Updater.exe and how do I get rid of it?

Every time I turn I get a User Account Control notification from Fiery Driver Updater.exe. A google search tells me it's something got to do with a printer service. I've no idea how it made it's way on my computer as I don't use a printer.


I tried to search for the folder given in the Program Location however the folders don't exist and I have the option to unhide folders selected.


There's no record of anything by Fiery on my computer.


How did I get rid of this?

Update driver

I don't seem to have 'fiery driver' at all. At any rate, when I followed your instructions, Andre, there is no 'Fiery' in my apps list.

Thanks for the information, Linnah. If there's no functional difference and you only want to get rid of this Update Fiery Driver executable, you can try going into Task Manager (CTRL + SHIFT + ESC), go into the Startup tab, and disable anything Fiery related.

You can also download Autoruns from here:
https://download.sysinternals.com/files/Autorun...

Run Autoruns.exe and you should be welcomed with a list with a bunch of tabs. This may seem a bit intimidating, but no worries, I'm able to guide you through the process.

Make sure you're under the Everything tab. There should be a Filter text box on the top left of the window. Enter "Update Fiery" without quotes, and leave it at that as to narrow it down, but not completely to ensure you can see it. If you can see it indeed,
you can tackle this a couple of ways. You can disable it by unticking the checkbox next to it, or you can hit CTRL + D together in order to delete the entry.

I realize it's a lot, but I'm here to help. So if you need help with this process, please do not hesitate to let me know. All my best, good luck.

Hi Linnah, the Fiery driver is a Pre-Press Print Driver. It is used for advanced layout options before the document goes to the printer.

If you recently installed a Printer or your Print Driver was updates, this may have come with that installation

Open Control Panel - Programs and Features, look for the Fiery software (it will have a red icon) there and uninstall it
