FAQ
Do you really need a driver updater?
Why choose Avast Driver Updater?
How do I check for driver updates?
- Open up your start menu
- Type “Device Manager”. Click Device Manager.
- Here you’ll see a list of all the different device categories on your device. Click the arrow next to one category to see all the devices.
- Right-click the device and click Update Driver.
- On the next screen, you’ll want to click Search automatically for updated driver software.
- Repeat steps 1-5 for every device and driver on your PC.
Can updating drivers cause any problems?
- 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 prevent any human error, and our unique driver rollback feature allows us to quickly undo any driver updates that are problematic, bringing you back to an older, more stable version of the driver.
Does updating drivers increase FPS?
So while Avast Driver Updater can help, if you really want to improve your FPS, we suggest overclocking your GPU.
