Update a driver for hardware that isn't working properly
- Answer
-
If you have a hardware device that isn't functioning properly, or you're installing a program or game that states it requires newer drivers than you currently have installed, you should check Windows Update for updated drivers. You might also want to setWindows Update to check automatically for recommended driver updates.
A third option is to manually update drivers for a device.
