Thanks. Downloaded and it found 10 drivers update which I updated. Was worried if the updates would screw my laptop but everything working fine now.
The question is why didn't Windows update or Dell update find those updates?

Although Windows Update has a very large collection of drivers, it does not have drivers for every single device there is. Since third party driver update tools don't get their updates from Windows Update, they will often have drivers that Microsoft doesn't. For devices that Windows Update does provide drivers for, very often it does not have the latest drivers. This is because Microsoft prioritises having stable drivers, ahead of having the most recent ones. Secondly, often there's not much need to keep drivers updated, so it usually won't matter if Microsoft can't provide the latest drivers. Dell and other PC manufacturers, will only provide driver updates for a limited amount of time after releasing a PC. Often it's only around a year, but for some of the more expensive models, it can be longer. After that, they will only provide driver updates in rare cases where critical vulnerabilities are found in drivers. Even in the short period that they provides updates, they won't have the latest update for every driver, because as mentioned, it doesn't matter too much. Also, in some cases they provide modified drivers, e.g. audio drivers with sound enhancements. These drivers don't get updated as often as the original drivers provided by the device manufacturer.

One thing I forgot to mention, is that some driver updates in Windows Update, are only available as optional updates. You will only find these updates by going into the optional updates section of Windows Update in Windows 10 and 11. Some drivers are only available as optional updates because they can possible cause issues. My experience with them is that it's unlikely they'll cause issues. Bur on the other hand there's really no need to install them, unless it is a driver for a device with no driver installed, or in cases where Windows has installed a generic Microsoft driver for a device and the optional one is a driver from the device manufacturer.

This code just worked for me: CDC74-21869-D4413-EE14B

Have a question: The program detects missing drivers for Unknown devices. This confuses me: how it can find the driver if it cannot retrieve the name in the first place? Should I not update them at all?
I just installed a new OS build and about to start updating my drivers with this program.

These are devices that are shown as unknown devices in Device Manager. If you click on the dates, it should show you more information about the drivers. PC manufacturers often provide their own update tools and I would recommend using them ahead of Driver Booster.
