[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 851867, member: 31436"] Auslogics has just released a new version of Auslogics Driver Updater and it now lets you update drivers for free. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.auslogics.com/en/software/driver-updater/[/URL] You can update one driver at time and like with the paid version the drivers are installed automatically. After updating a driver, you need to exit Driver Updater and open it again to be able to update more drivers. After updating a few drivers, you have to wait a few minutes (and the time increases with each additional driver you install) before you can update another driver. It's worth noting that the accuracy of the driver matching could be better. Some of the driver updates it finds will not be the correct OEM driver, but ones for a device from a different manufacturer. There drivers will usually still work, but it's generally better not to install them. Driver Booster and Driver Easy, for example, are much better at finding the correct drivers. However, since you can now use this for free, it may be of use to some people. It's a welcome change, considering that the trial versions of the last few releases, would scan for outdated drivers and then not even tell you what drivers it had found updates for, or even how many updates were found until paid for it. Also, if anyone's interested, Auslogics have just released a free version of BoostSpeed. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.auslogics.com/en/software/boost-speed/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
