Re: Device Manager auto-search internet & download/install


Never update drivers via the generic automatic updates. They are often outdated.

Update drivers on your OEM's or device manufacturer's website.

Generally speaking is it a good idea to let it automatically search the internet for the latest device driver , download it , and install it ?

How well does this technology work ?

Thanks.
