Hi all, Just finished clean installing Windows 10 for the first time. I'm curious as to whether it's recommended to install chipset drivers for the motherboard like in the good old days or just stick with whatever Windows 10 may have used on it's own during installation. Any thoughts are appreciated. Sirste n00b. Joined Jun 10, Messages To further his question what about all drivers that come with the cd or let's be real who has a cd drive but download drivers from motherboard website.
Everything on my computer is detected except for corsair cooler cpu block and the only extra driver I installed was gpu. Just upgraded gpu still nvidia same driver should I reinstall it for the sake of new upgrade or a driver is a driver?!
Thx and hope our questions help others. Deleted member Guest. One would say that the drivers provided to Windows Update and those included in the Windows 10 distribution files on the ISO or whatever are "more stable" overall and designed to make sure the hardware functions as expected but they are most definitely not designed for performance.
So it's a safe bet to say the distribution and Windows Update versions will keep your machine running reliably and stable for sure. Windows can automatically check if there are drivers available for new devices that you connect to your computer. For hardware that you've connected to your computer in the past, updated drivers might become available at a later date; but those drivers aren't installed automatically.
To install these optional updates, go to Windows Update in Control Panel, check for updates, and then view and install driver updates that are available for your computer. Windows can download high-resolution icons for many hardware devices that you connect to your computer, along with detailed information about them, such as product name, manufacturer, and model number—even detailed information about the sync capabilities of a device.
These details can make it easier for you to distinguish between similar devices that are connected to your computer, such as different mobile phones. You can check Windows Update at any time to see if it found new drivers and icons for your hardware, especially if you recently installed a new device.
If you want to have Windows Update automatically check for the latest drivers and icons, here's how:. Right-click the name of your computer, and then click Device installation settings. Click Yes , do this automatically recommended , and then click Save changes. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. If Yes is already selected, click Cancel to close the dialog box.
To get all important and recommended updates for your computer and your devices, make sure that Windows Update is turned on and configured properly. Even if you have Windows Update set to automatically download and install all important and recommended updates, you still might not be getting all of the updated drivers available for your devices. For instance, optional updates might include updated drivers that become available for hardware or devices you've already installed. Windows doesn't automatically download and install optional updates, but you will be notified when optional updates are available.
To get all the available updates for your devices, periodically check Windows Update for all available updates, including optional updates. You can review the available updates and then select them from the list of updates that Windows finds for your computer. Here's how to do this:. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update , and then, in the list of results, click Windows Update.

You can often update Drivers yourself by going directly to the Microsoft website. In cases where the Driver is no longer available, you have the option of using a Driver Update Tool see download link at end of article.
