I have only tried IOBit Driver Booster Free and it didn't destroy my system luckily lol. It has many features for a free driver updater compared to some others. If you want to backup the drivers without paying you can do so in Glary Utilities.

Softpedia!I know this is bs but just give it a try

I have to say that usually I'm not worried about diver updates because already Windows 10 downloaded the main ones when I installed the latest Windows ISO.
Perhaps these drivers are not super updated, but I didn't have any problem.
However, some time ago I used Iobit Driver Booster Pro thanks to a giveaway and it found and installed maybe 12 not updated various drivers.
I haven't noticed any system improvements, but it certainly didn't cause any problem.

You can also try this trick: search for drivers with Iobit because it has reach database but don't DW from there after that google it the version and find it in a trusted website like Softpedia:notworthy:this way would be safe

I don't use one. If everything works fine, I don't bother with updating them and if I really need to update one - I prefer to go directly to manufacturer's website.

For me, drivers are that kind of stuff I say: "if ain't broke, don't fix it". I don't see why it is necessary to keep updating drivers. Updates can cause instability in a perfectly running system. Driver updaters waste computer resources, and sometimes may install the wrong update. If I decided to update drivers, I would rather download them from the manufacturer's website. Some manufacturers (HP, Dell) have their own update utilities, so I would choose them instead.

I can tell from what I've used. Driver Booster, as far as I noticed, is good at finding latest updates from it's database, but it fails miserably in finding drivers which are not installed at all. DriverPack Solution dominates this area but it should be used with caution as it will install some unnecessary programs unless you opt them out.

I have tried a lot of them for years but I realized that I should only use them to install network drivers when there is no internet
if something is missing, I copy the driver ID and search fro the official OEM drivers or use iobit or snappy driver/driverpack to find the driver and then google for better drivers

Sound, HDD, graphic and chipset driver MUST be installed from the official installer or they can malfunction and cause a lot of problem
other drivers, we can try our luck with iobit and snappy driver installer

I always keep a copy of snappy driver installer with only wifi, LAN drivers downloaded, just in case

If you don't have any devices showing missing drivers in Device Manager, and are not experiencing any issues with your devices, there is not much need to update drivers. Having said that, I keep the drivers in my computers updated. I spend a lot of time testing driver update software, and in my experience, Wise Driver Care is currently the best driver update software there is. It has a very large database of driver updates, which means it does a much better job of finding drivers for devices with missing drivers than just about any other driver updater. It can replace generic drivers installed by Windows Update (e.g. a generic High Definition Audio driver) with the correct OEM ones. The driver updates it finds are often manufacturer supplied ones, e.g. if you have an HP computer then many of the driver it finds will be the ones released by HP. Also, it's rare for it to install incompatible drives, which will cause problems.

Driver Booster, is also pretty good, and like Wise Driver Care, it's rare for it to cause problems. However, its database of drivers is severely lacking when compared to WDC.

The paid pro versions of both of these, are regularly available as giveaways. However, the free versions do work well, and never require you to manually install any drivers, which is something you have to do with the free version of Driver Easy.

Driver Toolkit is also worthy of a mention, because it has a very large database of drivers, and can sometimes find drivers for devices with missing drivers, when other driver update software fails to.
