SlimDrivers: Automated Device Driver Updates

Updating computer’s device drivers is very important to achieve optimum performance from them. Driver updates generally includes many bug fixes and incompatibility of the device to act with manysoftware applications, but for many users it becomes bit tedious work to find out drivers for each and every device manually on internet. There are many applications available that can automatically scan system devices and get appropriate updates for them but very few of them are free and provide us with accurate updates and additional functionality. SlimDrivers is a handy option in these situations.

SlimDrivers is a Microsoft certified windows freeware application that can automatically find device driver updates for your system. It is easy to use and also provide features like taking driver backup, restoring driver backups and creating system restore points.

Updates provided are categorized in two parts i.e Device driver updates and Windows updates. After it scans your system completely it displays a list of all updates available. You can select updates to be ignored and download other updates that will be downloaded and installed automatically.
Though SlimDrivers provides very accurate device drivers updates, it’s still in beta stage and there are many features that you may not like for instance, it will require a system restart every time an update is installed and there are no options to cancel the reboot momentarily.
