Absolutely no Problem.Īfter Install: Re-Booted to Desktop & was greeted with 'I have 3 days to Register Windows due to Hardware changes. Selected to Download with Silent Install. (The beta version didn't find any) Today.!! Out of Beta, So had to Test it against the Beta version I Reviewed Before. If you have a really old XP machine, be careful. But you have to hope that the errant driver(s) do not render the system unbootable, making it difficult to access system restore.ĭespite this glitch, the program is extremely efficient and from my experience, probably accurate with CONTEMPORARY machines. In recognition of that fact, DB ALWAYS creates a restore point, which allows you to undo it's mistake.

The point here is that like most generic driver updaters, this one can cause system problems by updating drivers that are not compatible with your computer. The problem appears to have been an ATI driver, because when the system would boot, it would automatically open an Explorer window with a 'CIM' folder in it containing files for the ATI graphics card. Computer now works, no freezes on that or any other links. After restarting, ran a system restore using the restore point created by Driver Booster. Tried opening Outlook Express and again tried the link. After rebooting, it seemed to be running fine, but today my wife tried to open a link in an e-mail, and it caused Windows to freeze (absolutely nothing worked except Task Manager, which I used to restart). However, 2 days ago, I installed it on my wife's VERY OLD Compaq R3275 laptop running Xp-SP3 and ran a scan. The updates did not cause any system problems. I installed Driver Booster (DB) on my two (relatively new Win 7) computers about 2 weeks ago, and have done 2 scans on each computer that resulted in a total of about 30 (!) updates. 302595/how-to-stop-windows-10-from-automatically-Īll in all program is comparable to DriverMax.Īlso yes do untick everything as it is bloatware if install the rest of the Iobit family of programs or do not uncheck free stuff.īottom Line: Does what it says updates drivers. You would need to turn updating drivers off in Win10 if are a gamer or a high end system and know what your want/do. If running Windows 10 then Microsoft will have stuffed you with drivers that work. Slimdrivers is found as a PUP/Spyware by Malwarebytes Pro. The Pro version actually has the needed drivers that you possibly want. Use this program when out of warranty only.

If you have a Motherboard (M/B) that is in warranty then go to the manufactures site and update everything from there.
