Answer» Is there a way to write a batch file or something that will forcefully search for to update all drivers on the system instead of opening device manager and going one by one? I't doesn't necessarily have to be batch as long as it works.

Not a DOS command, but a tool that does the trick.I'd use some caution around drive controller driver replacements. I got bit by this being updated once and breaking our RAID 5, then having to rebuild the array after it broke. BIG MESS! For an average home user its probably no problem, but for corporate use, be careful!
Generally I dont replace drivers unless they are an ISSUE or there is a benefit to updating them. Newer drivers are SUPPOSE to be better than older drivers for many reasons, but they can also create headaches.
The only drivers I update on a regular basis are video card drivers, other than that if all other features work reliably I dont mess with them.+1
If your instant driver update causes problems, you will not know which driver update caused it too.These are very good POINTS. I actually had to just do a system restore to dump some new drivers that were causing issues >.> Thanks.Not SURE what the logic is anyways on having a batch file do this...
