When something does not work on your computer, talking with tech experts or looking for discussions in forums, sooner or later you will read about updating the drivers. But what are the drivers "> InstalledDriversList, developed by Nirsoft, free, with no quirks inside and that requires no installation.
Once downloaded, extract the InstalledDriversList file from the zip file into a folder and run it to see the list of drivers in a legible and orderly way.
By clicking on one of the drivers you can view more information including the version, the date and the path where it is stored.
Green icons indicate that Windows is using that driver, yellow means that it is installed but not activated, the red icon means there is a problem with that driver.
To conclude, I would advise against (even if they have been reported in another article on how to update the drivers automatically) the use of programs for updating the drivers and look for them, should it really be useful, on the website of the manufacturer of the hardware device that doesn't work.
Keep in mind that, generally, the only drivers that may require updates can be that of the video card, the printer, the sound card.
