Driver Checker is a quality program that can be quickly implemented to ensure that all of your essential Windows drivers are up to date and functioning properly.

The Driver Checker Program

A lot has changed since 2008, particularly as it pertains to the Internet. Facebook has annihilated MySpace, 4G Internet now reaches the majority of the modern world, and tablets and smartphones are now preferable to laptops. But some things have stayed the same, like Driver Checker - it remains one of the premier driver-update programs available for download. Despite its many competitors, Driver Checker remains relevant because of its speed, user-friendly interface, and large database of drivers.

Despite its advantages, Driver Checker is better suited for use in slightly older computers. A computer released in 2010 might still rely heavily on parts created prior to 2008, especially its drivers. Unfortunately, for new computers using the latest components, Driver Checker is essentially obsolete.

Features of Driver Checker

Driver Checker’s bread and butter has always been its massive database of high-quality drivers. With its ability to correctly identify dated drivers and quickly correct a problem, Driver Checker was long considered to be the proverbial king of the mountain. It is still a useful program to automatically check for outdated or faulty drivers. A bad or out-of-date driver can cause a host of problems with your PC, including low memory, slow speed, freezes, crashes, and data loss. Driver Checker works to boost the performance of your machine by ensuring that your drivers are functioning properly and are correctly updated.

Another area where Driver Checker earns big points is in the backup department. Installing a driver does not always result in a quick fix or an upgrade. You may run into some conflict issues, or wind up with a driver that was improperly installed or simply does not work. Driver Checker offers an ironclad system backup so you don’t have to worry about being stuck with the changes. You can simply rollback to a time before the updates – like System Restore, only you’re not keeping new changes.

You can access the backup and many other features from the program’s side panel, where you can choose to update, restore, backup the system, or even uninstall or export your drivers. You can also view a history of various driver versions, along with scheduled scans (which can be changed if desired).
