Smart Driver Updater is an application for updating drivers automatically, developed by Smart PC Solutions and now distributed under the name Smart Driver Manager. It will help you to find and install new versions of drivers for all system components in a few clicks. In addition to searching for outdated drivers, Smart Driver Updater can also find devices whose drivers are missing. Scanning can be started directly from the main program window. Depending on the speed of the PC, it can take from a couple of seconds to one minute. Once the scan is complete, the user will be provided with a list of drivers recommended for installation and upgrade. You can either install individual drivers from the list or update them all at once. You may need to restart your computer after the upgrade.
Another useful feature of Smart Driver Updater is support for creating and restoring driver backups, so existing drivers can be restored after a problematic update or a Windows reinstall; a shortcut to Windows System Restore is included as well. A Toolbox tab adds quick fixes for sound, display, network and device errors, a cache cleaner and a system information view. The scan is free, while installing the found updates requires buying a license. The graphical shell of the program looks rather pleasant, and it is easy and convenient to work with it.
Smart Driver Updater identifies outdated drivers and installs Microsoft-certified updates for better system stability.
