[QUOTE="davidydk, post: 641837, member: 63304"] My experience with Slimdrivers has been very positive (and no, I don't have any connection to them - just use the software). It doesn't cost anything and admittedly it's always asking me to upgrade to driverupdate but I don't want to. I've been using it for some years on the other two PCs in the house without problems, except that Malwarebytes considers it a PUP and quarantines it - but fortunately you can tell Malwarebytes to STFU. So far, it hasn't given me any malware as far as I know. A recent example: I just bought a Lenovo laptop with Win10 Home and upgraded to Win10 Pro in line with the other two PCs. Then I used Slimdrivers to identify if the drivers were up to date. It found 16 out of date drivers. I asked Windows 10 to update these drivers but in only one case did it find the most up to date. In most cases, it said the one I had was the most recent; occasionally it updated to a driver which was still not as recent as the one Slimdrivers found. This is totally in line with my experiences when I was on Win7. We'll see how the new laptop performs and whether I get any problems. If I change my mind, I'll let you know, but for now I'm sticking with Slimdrivers. [/QUOTE]
