Keep your computer and its accessories running smoothly. Try Avast Driver Updater software for free to easily scan, update, and fix your PC’s drivers.

Automatically scans over 35 million drivers to find the right ones for your device:

Driver Updater detects old, corrupt, missing, or outdated drivers, fixes bugs and vulnerabilities, and backs up and restores current drivers.

Vulnerable drivers are a significant security risk
Drivers are programs and programs can sometimes be faulty or contain security gaps. These gaps can be exploited by attackers to access your data or make changes to your operating system. Driver Updater scans for weaknesses, identifies outdated or broken drivers, and notifies users as soon as a secure update is available.

70% less crashing and freezing
Easily improve your PC’s performance. Faulty and old drivers are the top cause of crashes, freezes, and bluescreens. Driver Updater finds the latest driver versions for maximum stability with fewer bugs, connection problems, mouse or printer issues.

Get significantly sharper graphics
Update graphics drivers to boost performance and enjoy crisper images in games, Virtual Reality, multimedia apps, streaming, and media editing.

Quickly fix sound, printer, and network issues
No sound coming from your speakers? Wi-Fi constantly dropping? Printer suddenly not working? Driver Updater eliminates these interruptions.

Solve driver issues quickly
Avast added the Helper to the Driver updater. The Helper will lead the users through the whole path of reverting the specific drivers based on the type of problems that the users are encountering and when the problem started occurring. After finishing the process with the assistance of the Helper the accessory should be working properly again.

FAQ:
How to update drivers?
It’s possible to update your PC’s drivers manually, although it’s a little more tricky than using dedicated driver updater software. We recommend using dedicated software like Avast Driver Updater which updates your drivers quickly and securely and ensures that any driver you upload is guaranteed malware-free.

How do I automatically update drivers?
There are alternatives to manual updating. We recommend using professional driver updater software, like Avast Driver Updater. It comes with a database containing millions of drivers, then finds, downloads, and updates drivers automatically. It checks your entire system for old, corrupted, or broken drivers, selects the best upgrades, and installs them for you — easily and automatically.

Do you really need a driver updater?
Technically, you don’t need a driver updater because it’s possible to update your drivers manually. However, it’s important to update your drivers, as outdated drivers can impact your Window PC’s performance, speed, and cause sound and graphical issues. The main benefit of a driver updater is that it makes it far easier to find and replace outdated drivers.

Why choose Avast Driver Updater?
Avast Driver Updater is one of the best Windows driver updater software. We can scan for and download 35 million different drivers, that will let you update graphics drivers, update audio drivers, and more. Avast is also one of the world’s biggest and most trusted cybersecurity brands, which means we ensure our software meets only the highest standards in both security and performance.

Can updating drivers cause any problems?
Updating drivers can cause problems in two situations:

1. 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.
2. 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?
It’s not impossible that updating your GPU’s driver will improve your frames per second (FPS), but any improvement will likely be small, and unlikely to vastly improve your gaming or your PC’s performance. This is because drivers generally fix issues and bugs, and device performance is largely dependent on hardware.
So while Avast Driver Updater can help, if you really want to improve your FPS, we suggest overclocking your GPU.
