Solve : driver question? |
|
Answer» When using the "update driver" feature in Device Manager, to update a hardware driver, where does Windows look for the driver? Does Windows search the manufacturer's data base of the device or does Windows get the driver from SOMEWHERE else? Never thought too MUCH about it, ALTHOUGH I have downloaded driver updates directly from Intel, that the "update driver" feature would not locate..Unless I'm mistaken it searches its own database of WHQL drivers. It does not go out to OEM sites. Quote from: ALLAN on February 08, 2010, 01:12:16 PM WHQL drivers ahh.. that makes sense. So the "update driver" utility uses only signed drivers in a database.. thxWindows driver update is rather worthless and basically no driver should be updated through it. M$ is known for providing wrong drivers. If you want to update driver, go to your computer manufacturer site, or to specific device manufacturer site. Quote from: Broni on February 08, 2010, 01:30:40 PM Windows driver update is rather worthless and basically no driver should be updated through it.+1 I ALWAYS recommend against using any Windows / Microsoft provided drivers and to obtain them from the OEM web sites.hmm extra thx Why is this here ? ? Did you have your Coffee yet EEviac ? `Well it wasn't necessarily a driver PROBLEM, so I posted it here.. Next time I'll post in the appropriate forum He's little BIT "OFF topic" |
