I also looked up your laptop's drivers on Dell website and noticed that the first one wasn't there, so I grabbed them directly from the manufacturer's website and linked it to you.A required CD/DVD driver device driver is missing. If you enter the VEN and DEV Ids of a device, it returns you it's brand and model. Therefore, I strongly suggest you to uninstall any 'Driver Updater' program you currently have installed, for the well-being of your system.Īnd I found them using a website called. But I'm not hating for no reason on them, I'm hating on them because I know them, I know how they 'work', I know that they don't work like they say and overall, I know that they cause way more issues than they solve.

It looks like I have a total hate of these programs and I'll be honest, I do. The same goes for 'PC Boosters', 'PC Optimizers', 'Registry Cleaners' (which are dangerous to use by the way), etc.

In a whole, you could say these software as a big scam. How is it possible? It's not, it's just inventing that in order to push you to use the software and ultimately buy it. On a fresh installation of Windows, with the most updated drivers from the manufacturer, the program would report that tons of drivers were outdated and needed to be updated.

There's been some tests that have been done by other reputable websites, like HowToGeek, who tested these Driver Update programs. Are they really downloading the drivers they say they download and install? Are they really downloading them from the manufacturer's website? Who knows. And this brings anothing point, we don't know where these programs downloads their drivers from. Drivers updates are totally free from your hardware manufacturer website or your computer/laptop manufacturer website. Also, most of them will ask you to 'pay' in order to unlock more benefits or better updates, which is totally false. Therefore, you end up installing one product that contained 3 or 4 others and just 'bloated' down your system. The author of the program is paid by these foistware maker to include their program in his program installer. The goal of these software are to make you download them, since they are either paid by the download they have, or they bundle other applications and programs in their installers (which we call foistware). And if you understood my explanation above, you'll see that it's not true, hence this is 'false advertising'. They try to tell you that if you keep all your drivers up to date, your system will run faster and always be performant. And this is exactly the case of Driver Updater software. You need something more that you don't have. You'll notice that under Windows, and many other OS, a lot of people create software that tries to tell you that you 'need' something. Then comes what we call the 'Driver Updaters'.

In other words, I could relate it to a pretty common expression 'Why change it (or upgrade it) if it still works perfectly fine?'. This is because the bug present on these drivers might only affect a certain brand of computer, laptop, when it works with a specific software, service, I/O interaction, etc. If you didn't encounter a single issue with your current drivers, then you have no need to update them to their latest version.

When a driver update is released, it's mainly to address a bug or an issue in the precedent driver version. You cannot boost an hardware component level over the level it has been conceived on (when you overclock a CPU or a GPU, or even your RAM, the capabilities of overclocking are present on the hardware, just not enabled), so even if you update your drivers, you won't get any real 'boost' of performance on your system. When you update your your drivers (except for the GPU ones), you do not really increase their performance at all. They are what the software use to communicate with the hardware and vice-versa. Think of drivers as 'middleman' between the hardware and the software. I'll explain you how it works under Windows when it comes to drivers, other people might disagree with me, but over the time, I've experienced with so many drivers related issues and these programs that it becames an obvious big no in my head. I see that you're using a 'Driver Updater' program, which can be harmful for your system and is totally useless.

Here's my little personal rant on driver updaters
