FAQs
It’s possible to update your PC’s drivers manually, although it’s a little more tricky than using dedicated driver updater software. We recommend using dedicated software like Avast Driver Updater which helps you update your drivers faster and more securely and ensure that any driver you upload is malware-free.
There are alternatives to manual updating. We recommend using professional driver updater software, like Avast Driver Updater. It comes with a database containing millions of drivers, identifies the optimal drivers for you, and notifies you about their availability for installation.
This type of error typically occurs when a printer driver is unavailable. It can also occur when other types of accessories (e.g., scanners, speakers, etc.) are not installed correctly or missing appropriate drivers. This error can be prevented by using a driver updater. Using Avast Driver Updater can help you scan your drivers from the accessories you use to help you make sure they’re working properly.
A driver updater can also detect corrupt, faulty drivers that could pose a significant risk to your security. These security gaps can be exploited by attackers to access your data or make changes to your operating system. Avast Driver Updater can not only help fix a driver of an unavailable printer, but it can also identify broken drivers and notify users when a secure update for the driver is available.
Avast Driver Updater is one of the best Windows driver updater software. We detect outdated, corrupt, vulnerable, or missing drivers by scanning your Windows PC against our database of 70 million drivers. Then we help you update your graphics drivers, audio drivers, and more to the most advantageous versions. Avast is also one of the world’s biggest and most trusted cybersecurity brands, which means we do our best to ensure our software offers a high standard of both security and performance.
Updating drivers can cause problems in two situations:
- You try to update a driver manually and you don’t know what you’re doing. This is particularly likely if you try to manually update a driver with the wrong update, circumventing Microsoft’s own automatic driver search detailed in question three.
- If the manufacturer of the driver accidentally released a flawed update for their driver that introduces more problems than it fixes, or has other unforeseen bugs and incompatibilities.
Fortunately, Avast Driver Updater can help in both of these instances: our automatic scans and updates help prevent human error, and our unique driver rollback feature allows us to quickly undo driver updates you made with Avast Driver Updater that are problematic, bringing you back to an older, more stable version of the driver.
It’s not impossible that updating your GPU’s driver will improve your frames per second (FPS), but any improvement will likely be small, and unlikely to vastly improve your gaming or your PC’s performance. This is because drivers generally fix issues and bugs, and device performance is largely dependent on hardware.
So while Avast Driver Updater can help, if you really want to improve your FPS, we suggest overclocking your GPU.
