Why should I update drivers on my computer?

Outdated drivers can cause PC crashes, freezes, and blue screens. When you update drivers, you help improve your PC stability and can also solve Wi-Fi connection problems or sound, graphics, or printer issues.

Like any software, drivers can also contain security loopholes that cybercriminals try to exploit to access your PC. Norton’s driver scanner regularly checks for driver updates and can inform you of detected vulnerable drivers so you can immediately update to close security vulnerabilities.

How can I automatically update drivers on Windows?

An automatic driver updater regularly checks your Windows PC against a database of more than 50 million verified drivers and recommends the most stable driver versions. These are linked to 300,000 pieces of hardware, such as keyboards, audio devices, cards, and more.

Norton Driver Updater runs the scan automatically once a week. If there is a Windows driver to update, we notify you via pop-up and then you can decide and confirm the installation. If the computer is off during the scan time, our PC driver updater will run as soon as the computer is turned on.

What are the benefits of using a driver update software?

Drivers are key components to make your computer run. They impact your PC audio, graphics, internet connectivity, and more. Manufacturers often update drivers to resolve bugs, add features, and make computers more secure. With driver update software, you can conveniently search for and update old, corrupt, missing, outdated, or vulnerable drivers. The driver update scanner regularly checks your PC to help ensure your drivers are up to date. And in the off chance you want to go back to your previous version, our driver update tool can help you easily do that.

How often should I check for driver updates?

Driver updates may include bug fixes, stability, performance improvements, and critical security patches. That's why installing them as soon as possible is so important. But manually checking for driver updates isn't easy or convenient as it requires reviewing and updating each driver one by one without knowing if there might be any compatibility issues. Doing regular checkups once a month is a bare minimum, and weekly checks are recommended. Driver Updater can help automate this time-consuming activity by scanning your drivers every week and notifying you if there are suitable updates for your drivers. With this tool, you can update all outdated drivers at once while keeping backups of their previous versions.
