Abstract

We've already explained how to use Driver Store Explorer to delete old driver packages from the Windows driver store, but you can also remove leftover drivers through Device Manager. If you want to update all your drivers manually or by using a driver-updater tool (see opposite page), you can stop Windows Update installing automatic driver updates. Use your PC manufacturer's driver updater If you don't trust Windows Update to keep your drivers up to date, and you'd prefer not to use a third-party tool, you could try your PC manufacturer's own driver updater. FEATURES WHAT YOU CAN DO • Install optional driver updates that Windows Update ignores • Download the latest drivers from device manufacturers • Update all your drivers with the best available versions • Manually add a driver to the Windows driver store • Avoid driver updaters that install junk and malware • Remove old drivers for devices you no longer use • Undo driver updates that cause problems on your PC Drivers are an essential element of your PC.
