[QUOTE="Aura, post: 239864, member: 25785"] This was useful back in the days if I may say (Windows XP time), but right now, it's pretty much useless. You'll either end up with random drivers that are months behind or (in 95%) of the situations, it will tell you that your drivers are already up to date, even if there's none or the wrong ones are installed. I would rather download my laptop/computer/hardware manufacturer official drivers rather than doing this because in the end, Windows will tell me that my drivers are up to date (even then they aren't) and I'll have to do that anyway. An interesting option however is "Update drivers" and "Choose drivers location manually", THIS is very useful when you install drivers that came with an .exe wrapper and you extracted them from that wrapper or that the .exe installer fails (like Realtek and their Deep Sleep Mode error message).
