How to properly update device drivers on Windows 10
If your Windows 10 PC has a hardware issue, it likely to be a driver problem. In
this lesson, there are three ways to properly update drivers to resolve common issues.

On Windows 10, a device driver is an essential piece of code, which allows the
system to interact with a specific hardware (such as graphics card, storage driver,
network adapter, Bluetooth, etc.), as well as peripherals, including mice, keyboards,
printers, monitors, and many others.
Usually, the detection and installation of device drivers happen automatically
using the built-in driver library and the Windows Update service. However, sometimes,
you may still need to update some devices manually for a number of reasons. For

4
example, when Windows 10 cannot recognize a component the device stops working
after an upgrade. Windows Update installs a generic package, or you have to apply a
critical fix or access a new feature quickly.
Whatever the reason it might be, Windows 10 comes with several options to
manually update a device driver, including using Windows Update, Device Manager,
and auto-update assistants from device manufacturers.
In this lesson, we'll walk you through three different methods to properly
update hardware drivers on your computer. Also steps to determine if the driver was
updated successfully.

How to update drivers on Windows 10 using Windows Update

Usually, it takes time for manufacturers to make newer drivers available

through Windows Update. However, it's still the best option to download and install
drivers manually. The reason is that only the packages compatible with your system
configuration will be listed on this page, minimizing the chances of adding the wrong
update. Also, the drivers in this channel have been tested, verified, and signed by
Microsoft.
To quickly update device drivers using Windows Update, use these steps:
1. Open Settings.
2. Click on Update & Security.
3. Click on Windows Update.
4. Click the Check for updates button (if applicable).
5. Click the View optional updates option.

6. Click the Driver updates tab.

7. Select the driver you want to update.

5
8. Click the Download and install button.

Once you complete the steps, the newer driver will download and install
automatically on your device.

If the "View optional updates" link is not available after checking for updates,
then Windows Update doesn't have any new drivers or any update for other products at
that particular time.

How to update drivers on Windows 10 using Device Manager

Alternatively, you can also update drivers for a printer, wireless adapter, monitor,
and other components using Device Manager.

If the driver isn't available on Windows Update because it's too recent or
available only in beta, you will have to download and install the package from the
manufacturer's support website manually.

Usually, when downloading an update from the manufacturer, you should always
use their instructions first. If the support website doesn't offer any assistance, then
‘double-click’ the installer and continue with the on-screen directions to complete the
update.

In the case that you're dealing with a self-extracting package, double-click the
file to extract its content. Or use this guide to extract the content of the ".zip"
compressed file, and then continue with these steps:
1. Open Start.
2. Search for Device Manager and click the top result to open the tool.
3. Double-click the branch with the hardware you want to update.
4. Right-click the hardware and select the Update driver option.

6
5. Click the Browse my computer for driver software option.

6. Click the Browse button.

7. Select the folder with the extracted driver files.

8. Click the OK button.
9. Check the Include subfolders option to allow the wizard to find the correct ".inf" file
that includes the instructions to update the driver.
10. Click the Next button.
7
 After you complete the steps, the wizard will scan, detect, and install the newer
driver on your device to improve the overall experience and support with fixes and new
features.

While you can manually update a component using this method, typically, you
would use these steps to update the controllers for an older piece of hardware. In the
case that you want to install an old printer, you can use these steps.

Historically, you could also use Device Manager to download drivers directly
from the Windows Update service. However, it's no longer possible since Microsoft has
removed the option from Device Manager during a quality update released for the
Windows 10 May 2020 Update. As a result, moving forward, when a new driver update
is detected on your computer, it'll appear automatically in the Windows Update settings,
more specifically, inside the optional updates page.

How to update graphics drivers on Windows 10

Typically, if the graphics card is working, it's never a good idea to update its
driver. However, graphics card manufacturers are known to rollout updates periodically
to improve the experience, support, fix bugs, and add more functionality, especially for
games.

If you have to be on the most recent version of the graphics driver, instead of
waiting for it to arrive through Windows Update, you can use the graphics control panel
available from Nvidia, AMD, or Intel to download and install the latest updates.
You can use the links below to download the software for the brand you're using:

• Nvidia GeForce Experience.

• AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition.
• Intel Driver & Support Assistant.

After you download the app, installing it should be as easy as double-clicking the
installers and going through the usual next, next, next wizard. Once you're in the
control panel, you can click the check for updates button from the driver's section to
download and install the latest driver.

8
Download graphics driver manually
In the case that you don't want to install another piece of software, you should
be able to download the latest graphics driver directly from the manufacturer's support
website.

The list below includes the links to download the latest update for your graphics
card directly from your manufacturer support website:

• Nvidia.
• AMD.
• Intel.
Once you downloaded the package, use the manufacturer instructions to
complete the update installation. If no instructions are available, usually, you only need
to launch the installer, go through a couple of clicks, and the wizard will remove the old
driver and replace it with the new version automatically.
In the case that you're dealing with .zip or a self-extracting package, you can
refer to our previous steps to complete the driver installation using Device Manager.
You may also be able to check the device model and brand using Device
Manager with these steps:

1. Open Start.
2. Search for Device Manager and click the top result to open the tool.
3. Expand the Display adapters branch.
4. Confirm the brand and model of the graphics card.

After you complete the steps, you can use the information to download the
correct driver update for your computer. If the information isn't available, then you may
have to use one of the available tools from Nvidia, AMD, or Intel to detect the driver you
need. Or you could also consult your device manual to determine the hardware
configuration to find the correct driver update.

How to determine if a driver updated successfully on Windows 10

Once the update has been applied, you may want to confirm that the latest
version was installed correctly using Device Manager.

9
 To see the current driver version details on Windows 10, use these steps:

1. Open Start.
2. Search for Device Manager and click the top result to open the tool.
3. Expand the branch with the hardware you updated.
4. Right-click the hardware and select the Properties option.

5. Click the Driver tab.

6. Confirm the "Driver Date" and "Driver Version" information.

Once you complete the steps, if these details match the manufacturer's
support website's information, then the device has the latest version of the driver on
Windows 10.
