The Problems With Driver Update Programs

The Problems With Driver Update Programs

They promise to help and optimise your PC, but are driver update programs actually worth it?

Underneath all of the cooling fans, heat sinks, capacitors and within the microchips and storage media of your PC lies the software that you use every day. Powering all of this and telling all of the components of your system how to run together are drivers. These special software packages are the instructions that make your system’s hardware work. From the mouse and keyboard, to the graphics card and motherboard, all of this hardware needs drivers in order to function. Without them, you wouldn’t have a PC capable of doing much.
